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:

f2, 1/2500 second

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

f16, 1/40 second

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

Photo a Day

I have been terribly busy at work today so I took this pic for my photo a day challenge at lunchtime today.

Zero thought went into this, but it’s done and done. Now I have one hour and 40 minutes of work day to get through before I go and get my hair cut. What a day, kids. What a day.

Oh, and our flight home from Florida next month may have randomly been cancelled today. Hooray, right?

Migraine Fun

It’s only been six days since my last migraine. I went upstairs to start making my lunch today and out of nowhere I got spanked with another one. Shit. Migraines during the work day are the worst of all. My vision was effected for about 50 minutes but it’s more or less recovered now. I don’t have much in the way of pain yet. I took some Tylenol just as things were starting to go wrong and that sometimes stops the pain. Fingers crossed it works today.

I took a candle pic for today’s photo a day. Mostly because I was afraid my defective head would get in the way so I took a picture of whatever was right in front of me when my eyes started coming back to normal.

Backyard

Obligatory I-went-out-to-the-back-yard-to-fill-the-bird-feeders photo shoot.

See that light in the basement window? That’s my desk. Fascinating? Why, yes. Yes it is.

No birds came out of the bird house, but I could hear some chirping coming from inside.
