Trying to do some shots of smallish items with good focus. Dinah Lance here was a good subject. Unfortunately, I didn’t remove the background items as much as I wanted to.
I totally need to build a table top studio for stuff like this.

An attempt to take a photo and post it every day in 2011
Photo 256: Smoke haze
We had smoke from the wild fires in Minnesota. I was about 15 minutes too late to catch the sunset, but I wanted to try to capture the haze that smoke from a fire 550 miles away created. (Too bad there’s no easy way to capture the smell.) I don’t think I was fully successful, but it was worth a try.

Photo 251: Acorn or man with sunglasses and mustache?
Yes, its a nice stonework acorn on the Tribune Tower, but I see a man with sunglasses and a big mustache.
Sorry, g0ff, I couldn’t find a cat for photo 251.
Photo 250: Wrigley and Trump
Kinda sounds like a law firm
Photo 249: Yellow Daisy
Just one of the petals gave up the ghost so far.
(Dan pointed out that this flower is commonly called “Black Eyed Susan” but according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudbeckia_hirta, “Yellow Daisy” is another common name. So, sloth wins and the current title stays.)
Photo 248: We have a small reading problem
We had to get at some pipes in the wall, so it required us to move two bookshelves. This is the aftermath of that, and its not even all of it, its just what fit on the bed.
