Day 34 - If I had a million dollars.... (if I had a million dollars)

If it were just that easy as the Game of Life. There is my car parked at the millionaire estate. CJ and I played last night and I eeked out a win by a mere 100K. I loved this game when I was little and still like it. The new version is really rather dumb though. I mean how does a teacher get a salary of 100K but a lawyer get 20K? They are trying to make a change, but they should have stuck with the original, which is why I got this one 80s version off of Ebay a few years ago. I didn't end up with any kids this time! There's been times when I had a whole car full and then some.. alas not this time.

I took several shots of this , trying for just the right one, I wanted the car and the house to be the focus and the rest to be blurred which is what I got after much trial and tribulation. The autofocus was giving me trouble on these close shots lately for some reason. I layed the camera flat on the carpet in front of the board and focused on the car and house and got the shot I wanted. It makes you feel as if it's lifesize almost.

... I'd buy you a house (I would buy you a house).....

Day 16 - blue dub a vee

I was at work and heard that there was a radio station doing some sort of promotion at the store. So I went out front to check out what the deal was. I noticed they had their car out front. A painted up V-Dub. Of course it popped into my head right then and there, photo-op! So I went back to my desk grabbed the camera and took a number of shots of the car from different angles.

I think this was the best of the shots, it shows off the nice paint job they had done as well as some of the features and curves known to a typical volkswagen beetle.

I love the colors in this shot, the blues, the reflections from the fender (you can see the building I stood in front of if you look hard enough, and the bright red from the tail light. I enjoy these pictures the best, closeups examining some detail of the object/person/place I am photographing. Let's see what tomorrow will bring for I am not heading out to too many places so perhaps something will spark my imagination. We shall see.

Let's go for a ride....
