Day 281/365 - All the spices all lined up, I give you all that you want....

At my friend Jay's house he was showing us his unique spices he had ordered to cook with and I lined up a few of them for a photo shoot. They all sounded very tasty, maybe he'll cook some with these sometime for us...

An Ok shot, I don't like the bright reflections on the top right corner.

...now doesn't it make it taste better.....

(NIN tribute)

Day 280/365- A bottle of red, a bottle of white It all depends upon your appetite......

We had our first date night since the baby was born 8 months ago! I took Michelle out to this nice italian restaurant in Lincoln, RI , dinner and the wine was great, the desserts were just there....nothing special.....

Took this picture rather quick as we were leaving so it came out a little blurry, I liked the colors and the lighting though....

....I'll meet you any time you want
In our Italian Restaurant......

Day 279/365 - The wheels on the bus go round and round...

Was looking for something at Jenn's house for a photo and placed the kids toy bus on the table and shot this. I liked it enough to post it, while nothing special it's a cute picture.

Simple picture shot no setting changes just the light from the chandelier.

....The horn on the bus goes beep beep beep...

Day 278/365 - mini mini mini mini wheats (strawberry flavour).....

Went to visit my friend Pam and outside her house were these large hay bale rolls. I never knew quite how large they were until I walked up to these. They are a good 5ft high and 5 to 8ft long. Wow. What a better shot of the day for me!!

I played with the exposure settings ont he camera and got this shot in a quickly darkening sky.

..mini mini mini mini wheats (they’re our new flavour).....

Day 277/365 - I take your order please? I highly recommend the combo #5!.....

This was an odd sight to see in front of me, I wasn't quite sure what I was following . Is it some weird molecular sculpture, some giant beach balls, no. It's actually some rather large tanks I assume propane tanks for homes or businesses, but from this angle it gave a neat shot...

Point and Click threw the windshield.

...Combo 1,2, ah 3,4,5......

Day 276/365 - Welcome to my world....

Ok, I had said I wanted to put another self portrait shot in this month so here it is. I was just goofing around with the camera trying different things with my reflections and ended up with this off the side of a outdoor spotlight bulb.

Nothing special , like I said just a goof off 365 shot today, my first.. ha ha...

....won't you come on in....

Day 275/365 - The great hero Kikkoman! Soy sauce makes the difference ......

At Asia Grille last week I set up this shot with my chopsticks and soy sauce bottle, I tried a few closeups of the food and other things but I thought this one fit the best.

A simple shot in low lighting, after learning a lot about lighting AFTER taking this picture I would have tried a few different approaches on this, but I like the shot, simple yet effective...

....Pour it, taste it, be amazed! ....

Day 274/365 - Don't blame us if we ever doubt you You know we couldn't live without you....

Snapped a few picture while we were out at BoxSeats having a bite to eat and went with this one, Unfortunately the Yankees are beating us. I notice how the bright TV stands out sooo much in the dark picture laden walls , it's called BoxSeats for a reason though....

Nothing special, a little noise in the picture on Auto ISO but you get the idea...

.....Red Sox, you are the only only only....

Day 273/365 - All the leaves are brown, the leaves are brown...

The leaves have started falling and fall is finally here, I like the changing colors happening everywhere.... This were a pile of leaves I moved around in the parking lot next to my car , I tried a few different shots and thought this one the best...

It has noticable blur in front and back, I'm learning about bokeh now and I can see some in here... I think the eye is attracted to the center of the picture more than anywhere else..

...and the sky is gray...

Day 272/365 - Oh yes, wait a minute Mister Postman.....

I took a picture of something I walk by everyday, imagine that. I was trying to get less frustrated with my lack of creativity and just take some simple pictures of things I normally pass on over, of course from different angles, perhaps I'll do another shot from a different angle tomorrow, who knows....

nice texture, nice clarity, you can still read everything ....

...if there's a letter in your bag for me.......
