1PM in my life: w3

Posted on 8:38 PM by jr cline | 1 comments


This is the third week in my '1pm in my life project'. I'm getting better at getting them at 1.

 Christy and I went for a hike at Cheaha Starte park.  It was a great day for hiking, not too hot or too cold.  The light was too harsh for  photography though.  I think that will be the case for outdoor photos most the time at 1pm. 
    
 This is along Tallasahatchee Creek. I was driving and happened to be passing by here at 1pm so I stopped at the bridge and walked down to the creek for a few shots.
   
I got a little out of control on this one.  I was playing with the Diptic app again. On the left is one of Jesse's riding toys.  Above right is a piece of pink quartz with an arrowhead laying on top.  The bottom right is a section from a geode.  All these items hang out in the sun room where I stay.
     
This is also in the sun room.  It is a drum my aunt and uncle gave me years ago.
 
Christy and I went out for coffee at the new coffee shop in town, 318 Coffee and Bands.  It won't be long until I'll be back to photograph when a band is there.  The coffee was outstanding and so was the atmosphere.
  
On Friday I had a meeting an hour's drive from home.  I was stopped at a red light when it was time to take a picture. 
  
    I had a great time the day I took this picture.  I spent the day with Christy and Jesse.  Most of that time I spent on the floor.  I like to get down on the child's level.  He likes it too.  It also provides a different point of view for photos. 
   

Lattes, beautification, pink hair

Life is amazing when you're open.
I started out today working on migrating data (like most days).  I didn't have any plans other than doing that until bedtime.
The phone rang.
Life had other plans.

Christy called and we met for lattes at the new coffee shop in town.
318 Coffee and Bands has great coffee.
 
Amid the conversation, there was a lot of picture taking going on.

After visiting a consignment shop, we stopped in the beauty parlor for some beautification.  Christy, not me.  There is no hope for me.
 
Last stop was the doggie boutique.  
How about that pink hair?

 All these were taken with an iPhone 4 and the SLFT-IP4 filter.
 
 A mask in the sun room.
  
I used the macro lens and Tooncamera app for the bird head.
This is a small sculpture in my office.

I've been working from home a lot recently. 
I took this sitting at the table where I work.

     Christy, Jesse, and I went out for lunch
and the two of them played on the inside playground.
Check out this fun video about that adventure that Christy made.
Taken with the Hipstamatic app.
   
The next day, the three of us went to Horsestomp and played along the creek bank.
Christy posted a video of that adventure too.

So far so good.  I'm going to try this another week.

SLFT-IP4

Posted on 4:58 PM by jr cline | 0 comments

  I've been having a lot of fun with the SLFT-IP4 filters lately
  
especially the 3 kaleidoscope filters.
These two pictures are Jess's 'car' parked in the garage.
He has almost out grown it.
     
        

 
These two pictures are of a lamp and an oscillating fan (the fan isn't on).
  
 
 The picture above was taken with one of the 3 kaleidoscope filters through a prism.
  It is a street in the town near where I stay.
  
I have several masks hanging in the sun room and a kaleidoscope filter created this look.
 
   I've also been playing with the macro filter.  The picture above is of my fingers.
  
An unused grade book in my office

    I realize some of you will find this gross.
A tiny lizard died and dried out in the garage.
Poor little thing. :(
