11/365 - Cobbled Together Creative CloseUp

Today I brought my sons' Samsung Digimax U-CA505 point and shoot to work to play with. Jack's 365 Blog article inspired me to be creative and so looking around the office I found an old lens element from a zoom lens. It looked like it would fit the Samsung if I held it over the lens, and it was. Now, what to photograph? Ah, that coke machine token with the eagle embossed on it would work great!

I used the maximum telephoto setting of 3x and manually focused by moving the camera closer and this is what I came up with.
Pat took a pic of me taking a pic using this for his 365 blog. Here's some I cropped down so you could see the technique...

10/365 - Squirrel in Tree

Took this squirrely shot in my yard, before the little guy scampered away.

9/365 - Ducks by the lake

Saw these guys hanging out by the lake on the way home today, and decided this was my pic of the day...

8/365 - Driving Past

Here's one I took on the way home yesterday, but did not get a chance to put it up. I've been swamped with design work and fixing our SUV.

7/365 - Misty Morning and "Punishment"

I took this photo on the way to work this morning. I've been wanting to take some more photos of Sleepy Hollow Farm on good foggy days or when the steam is rising off the lake, but always tell myself I'm running late and don't have time to stop. But since I started doing the 365 I am not going to do that anymore.
I know I was bad this weekend and only posted on one of the days, so I "punished" myself by staying a little longer and looking for more shots. :-)
Hope you like them.

6/365 - Why the sad face, Jonah?

You would think he would look happier!
Actually, he and his brothers were. I took them out to the YMCA fields, while Momma was working and we flew the glider for a couple of hours and shot some hoops.
I really love my boys, and I wish I didn't have to work and could be with them all week.

5/365 - This makes the decision easy!

More and more to do and not enough time! Definitely time to go to the beach!
