274 - The Set Up

This week I am experimenting with water droplets.  I  want to figure out how to create great images of water droplets.

This is my getup for the water droplet project.  I metered the light, verified with a frame and then started.  This shows a Canon film camera with a wide macro lens.  I am also shooting a D70.  The best image seems to come from the 50mm f1.8 Nikkor lens.

The problem I am trying to find a solution to, is how to get make the right droplets.

273 - Huevos Rancheros Redux

I watched the cooking show "Two Fat Ladies" Saturday night where they covered Huevos Rancheros which was in Season 2 Episode 5-Breakfast.  These ladies rock!  I started having a craving for it.  This morning I took my 19/30 day off and decided to stay home and cook.  

The Ranchera sauce is simple and appeals to my own tastes.  Fire roasted tomatoes, a clove of garlic, 3 tablespoons of onions, 3 of bell peppers, 1/2 teaspoon of cumin and paprika.   A tablespoon chopped cilantro.  Salt and pepper to taste. Very simple and sweet. I blend it, then simmer it until it gets thicker.

Poached free range eggs,  corned beef hash-with turkey corned beef.  Tortillas made in my kitchen on my press.

272 - Public Art: WWII Memorial

I have been in a kind of funk about my photography.   I just don't seem to have the time to do it justice right now, and I don't just want to throw something up.  This morning was cold and cloudy, but I felt I needed to do something different.

Chameleon and Blue Drifter.

Taking off.

This road was completely empty, and completely quiet in both directions.

A mile into the field, we gathered to put Chameleon away.  She ran well.

Ouch!
