"Best Geocache Camouflage Ever"


For those that don't know, Geocaching is a GPS-based treasure hunt. People hide geocaches and post the coordinates to a website. Other cachers then find these hides and sign the log book inside each cache. Some caches are designed to be easy to find. Some are camouflaged to make it more difficult. Do you see the cache in the top picture? Here it is:

"Big Man in A Little Room"
 
Sarah's ceiling started lowering and I had to get a picture of it. Kind of the oppisite of the stretching room in Disneyland's Haunted Mansion. Ken, this is the "messing around" picture I was talking about on Facebook.

"The Big Boy"
 
Today I got a Nikon D-200 to try out before I decide if I want to buy it. This is the first pic I've posted with that camera. The D-200 sure has a lot of buttons!

"Pin Striped Suit"
 
Sarah and I went to the zoo on Saturday but I didn't have any worthy pictures for today or tomorrow, so extra zoo shots.

"The Greatest Man Alive, DAD!"
 
My first day with my SB-600 speedlight. I love the natural colors you get with bounce flash.

"You Looking at Me?"

Saturday November 15, 2008

As most of you know, there are several wildfires currently burning in Southern California. The one closest to me is the Yorba Linda or Freeway Complex fire. It is about 20 miles away and downwind. Here are some pictures I took today and tonight.






Let's all take a minute to pay respect to the men and women out there who do their best to protect us from this.

"Stop Flashing That Light"

Thursday November 13, 2008

A three-fer today. I was hanging out with friends and as I walked to my car at the end of the night, this greeted me.

We then had some fun and reposed it like this:

Here is the man responible for it all. He never did tell me where he got the bunny.

"Balcony View"
 

This picture was actually taken Monday but we went to a resort that was so beautiful, I wanted to post several pictures of the place.

"White Flowers"
 

Did I mention I love my new lens?

"My Keys"
 

Another with the new lens. I wanted to test how shallow the depth of field gets.

"Purple Flower"
 

This is the first picture I took with my new 50mm/f1.8 lens I just bought. This is an amazing lens. It is so sharp and being able to open the aperture so wide does wonders for depth of field. The only drawback is it doesn't autofocus on the D-40. I guess I'll need a new body, but for now I like manually focusing.
