Balcony View

This is the view from our hotel room’s balcony. I didn’t realize until a few minutes ago (around 9:00am) that our room sort of faces East. I’ll see about the view at sunrise tomorrow morning.

Look at that puppy over there! She’s HUGE!

We’re going to Acadia National Park today, including a visit to the summit of Cadillac Mountain. Expect lots of pictures in the future. Film and digital. On the film side, expect color and black and white. I’m out of control!

Commute

Wednesday is my in-the-office day. I took my photo a day pic while stopped in a traffic jam. You know, like ya do.

I took a couple of alternates too. Looking back now I think the alternates look better… but the one I picked for the photo a day had a bridge in it so… yeah, winner.

Shutter Speed Demonstration

I didn’t see the water overflowing our roof gutter until after I declared my photo a day complete for today. Oh well. Instead we’ll use it to demonstrate the difference between a fast shutter speed and a slow shutter speed because we’re all about the knowledge here on the ol’ Robbie Bloggie.

This is falling water with a fast shutter speed:

Now here is the same view with a slow shutter speed:

Wasn’t that fascinating? Don’t you feel like you learned something? Yeah, you’re welcome.
