It’s like some­thing from another world. I might Roundbottom-​​ize this one.

Daily Photo: Bronze “Statue”

Ahh, Boulder. This is where I first had a chance to break out the new cam­era and start work­ing. I’ve seen a lot of street per­form­ers on Pearl Street Mall, but I had never seen one of those liv­ing statue folks until this week­end. Don’t you think she should have painted the frog bronze as well? It really both­ers me that it’s green and plas­tic for some rea­son.
Will be utterly swamped with work for the rest of the week. Trying very hard to fin­ish way too many free­lance projects before start­ing the new job.

The new cam­era is per­form­ing sat­is­fac­to­rily. I’ve become obsessed with sharp­ness lately. The first round of pic­tures I took were over­whelm­ingly out of focus and it left me really con­fused. The cam­era has image sta­bi­liza­tion, so it should take sharper pic­tures than before, yes? I think the new focus­ing sys­tem was to blame though. It has 11 focus­ing points instead of the old three point sys­tem and that takes some get­ting used to. I’m using my tri­pod pretty heav­ily now and it’s help­ing. Also, the two sec­ond delay timer. This thing just seems super sen­si­tive to shake from press­ing the shutter.

I really like how this drag­on­fly photo turned out, although I prob­a­bly should have went por­trait in the framing.

I pur­chased a new cam­era today–the Olympus E-​​3. It should be a bet­ter cam­era than my old E-​​500 in every way, but I can tell that I am going to have to relearn many aspects of shoot­ing. That should be fun. Here’s a heav­ily cropped shot of the moon for your week­end pleasure.
