Watching You
I couldn’t help thinking about my last visit to DC while walking around the reflecting pool. On our last visit we actually ascended the Washington Monument — and saw the…

Moon Over DC
I’m in DC for a couple of days, and obviously brought the 5D along with. I’ve experienced the dreaded “5D banding” problem that I had been reading about (noise in…

Inappropriate Use
I haven’t worn an earring for almost 2 years. The hole hasn’t closed up (I wouldn’t expect it to at this point), but it’s not quite accomodating of a 1/16″…

Trainer
Taken at Jenkintown station. I’m assuming this is a dog trainer; the pictured dog was going crazy at the sight of the train coming.

Swimming Serfs
Two cotter pins. The lens arrangement was a prime 50mm with a reversed 24mm (24-70 f/2.8L) in front of it. Of the 40 shots I took, I like this one…

Through the Gate
The 5d is back! I’m experimenting with my 75-300 IS lens, which is a length that I really like but has terribly soft glass. I won’t be buying any new…

Two Missing Pages
Still waiting for my 5D to return from B&H; it was delayed because of the holidays. They sent me email today telling me that they’re replacing it. Good for them!…

Pensive
A shot from last week’s Moka concert in West Philly. I didn’t get to shoot as much as I wanted as they roped me in to doing sound for them…

Upon further reflection…
Today’s shot is a study in “things don’t always go the way you plan.” The new 5D is headed back to B&H because of a sensor defect (which may just…

Nary a Drop
A fountain that I was in awe of when I was a child: the fountain in the Plymouth Meeting Mall. I remember sitting at its edge as a child, watching…

Daylight Below
Companion shot to yesterday’s. This time I had the right lens, but the wrong time of day!

Houses Below
Good ol’ downtown Philly. I’m obviously playing with new techniques now that I’m shooting primarily with a 5D. This one is a combination of three shots (the EXIF information shown,…

Sleepy Schuylkill
I shot this a few weeks ago and had it ready to post — and then my 5D arrived and drove all thoughts of 300D pictures out of my mind.

Coach
Taken down on the Schuylkill River today. Thanks to Steve B. for pointing out the Regatta to me; I wouldn’t have known otherwise. Shot with the 5D, but with my…

Monocular
Another quick snap of Drexel yesterday, on the way home from work. I’m going to get along with this 5D just fine. I’d rather that the building on the left…

X[2]
This one is rotated slightly. I’m not quite sure that it’s level here either; the sole light on the left keeps throwing off my perspective now that its partner is…

ISO 1600. Just. Damn. Obviously shot with the 5D. … and this is Drexel, by the way.

Stony
Back to Ricketts Glen for a couple of more days. Until I find a megaphone for this week’s photohunt, or shoot some compelling shots with my new 5D.

In the Rough
A short break from the Ricketts Glen shots to fulfill my obligation to my own PhotoHunt.
