I spent all day trying to think of an idea, and by the time I came up with something I didn’t have the time to put it together like I would have liked. I think I will revisit this shot again soon.


42mm f/7.1 1/20s

As a little contest. The first person that can spot and comment what the thing that bugs me the most about this picture gets a cookie from My Dough Girl.

Than I was able to capture here. I wish I was able to snap my fingers, and have the skills that others have spent years perfecting :) I thought that this looked great, my eyes lied the camera didn’t. So I will just say it tasted great.

32mm f/5 1/200s

With the new phone. Not as good as the other one but I am getting better at using it.


HTC with Retro Camera App

Doughnuts for breakfast, ain’t nothing better. Especially, if they come from Kiwi Bakery in Magna (link)

34mm f/7.1 1/60s SOOC
I had to actually had to take these outside to get the light I needed for this picture. Man I want another.

OK so this is the first picture that I really like straight from my phone. But I tried to use some of the basic photography principles and the picture turned out pretty good.

I had the urge to go find one of the standard locations (map) that real photographers use for their pictures.


55mm f/6.3 1/60s
This had the same challenges as my post Tough a few days ago.

PS Here is a link to a locations map that many of the photographers in utah use (link)

Well somewhere between here and there I made it half way. (365/2=182.5)

For the record this was posed for this vacant look. It is not the natural look.

I couldn’t think of anything and I had no ambition. This picture is the result of that deadly combination. Sorry to waste the electrons, but I did take a picture and get it up for what ever that is worth.

200mm f/22 1/160s on camera flash @ 1/4 power

It is my number 1 rule to live by (post) yet I still run into problems with it :( With the AC out yesterday we cooked everything outside on a fire. After arranging the bricketts with metal tongs for the dutch oven I decided to pick up the tongs by the hot end, it was a bad idea. In my defense the tongs didn’t look hot.

50mm f/22 1/160s on camera flash @1/4power

No electricity, that’s what. The transformer in our backyard blew up last night. I spent most of the day complaining, and trying to figure out why my AC wasn’t working. Then as we started talking to the neighbors they were having the same problems. Then the big clue was when Rocky Moutain power came and tore down our fence and started digging around the transformer. We had 110 but no 220. So no AC, dryer, or oven, but I only cared about one of those.

50mm f/8 1/40s

PS for the record it was 96 degrees and 36% humidity that day.
