Looking For A Clear View

      Sometimes little people get the best view.



      That's it for the Academy photos! Next, a self-portrait and then a day trip to Santa Cruz for a lousy Valentine's Day (that produced some good photos).

Old And Young

      Another kid watches the Foucault pendulum, as does grandma.



      Tomorrow: Watching the pendulum from behind bars.

Watching And Waiting

      The Academy has one of those big pendulums. You know the kind: it knocks down a little pin every few minutes as its swing rotates with the earth's spin. As it gets closer to knocking down another pin, a crowd gathers, as if it was some sort of momentous occasion. It's funny, because it's nothing special, but everyone wants to see it. Once the pin is horizontal, everyone forgets about the pendulum until their next visit. This boy was waiting and watching.



      This is another no-look, though this one was taken with my 100mm macro lens, thus the narrow depth of field and inaccurate focus. Most of my hip shots are taken with my 21mm, which is infinitely more forgiving. Despite the flaws, I really like this photo.


      Tomorrow and Friday's photos also feature people watching the pendulum, though they have better focusing.


      I think I'm going to go through my gallery and add a new tag for no-look photos.

BBuutttteerrffllyy

      Two-fer Tuesday.




      The second is not a crop of the first, I was just inching forward, taking a few dozen photos, until I finally got too close for this fellow's comfort and he flew off. I like both photos and couldn't decide which to post, so you get both. Yay for indecisiveness?


      Tomorrow: Watching.

      I have two more photos of this fuzzy fellow, in a different location, coming tomorrow.

Back

      Sorry for the unannounced break. I was in Connecticut from the 12th through th 17th, and while I had uploaded photos to post, I had inconsistent internet access during the second half of my trip. I liked Connecticut. I miss the snow.


      A smile and a sweater. This no-look shot produced unusual framing, but I like it.



      Next: a butterfly.

Caught

      I think this is the first time someone is looking right at the camera in one of my no-look snaps. I like it.



      There is another "caught" photo coming up later in the set, but it's a ways off.


      Next: A smile and a sweater.

Mid-Syllable

      I should carry a notepad with me, because I remember knowing what he was talking about, but now the memory is gone.



      Monday: caught.
