I had time to kill between a conference I was at and my plane ride, so Claire, Melanie, and I went off to Gatorland to see the animals and the Gator Jumparoo show. Â The parrot pictures is my favorite, but here’s some bonus pictures of gators and stuff.
Bring it!
I took a ton of pictures today, but it was all after dark with no flash. I need to either get a better lens, or just get the whole dark photo think better than I have it right now. In any case, I love the purple on the Spaceship Earth. I did some post processing to emphasize it, I like how it turned out.
Bonus photo of the beer taps where I had dinner. I just didn’t want to make beer the showcase of another daily photo. I really lik the blurry dude in the background.
Dinah was invited to an ice skating party by a classmate.  The classmate and her sister participate in ice skating competitions and each did their routine as part of the party.  This gave me a good excuse to play with the telephoto lense.  I’m not entirely happy with what I took of the skaters as the light caused the camera to kick back to ISO3200, so they are grainy as hell.  Today’s bonus photo is here because I couldn’t pass this up without showing a photo of Dinah her first time in ice skates.
I’m not sure how i feel about the focus here. I think I like the road being out of focus, but it would have been cool to take another version with it in focus, but there were logistical problems to that.
I think it needs some creepy eye holes…
Day 7, the final day, of “Randomly pick a window in your house and make photographs from and through that window everyday for a week” I’m going to try to NOT take pictures of snow for awhile.
