My Best Daily Shots

Thanks for stopping by to view my daily photo! I will post a new photo each day to this gallery. Typically, I will post early morning, and the photo will have been taken the day before. Sometimes the photo may be from sometime earlier in the week, but all the pictures posted will be relatively new. I hope you see something that makes you smile. Feel free to leave professionally appropriate comments. Here's a link to the SmugMug Daily Community.

11/13/09 - Lightsaber Duels<br />
OK, so I've given it away already...darn! Joey got the Wii game Star Wars the Clone Wars Light Saber Duels for his birthday complete with light saber type attachments for the Wii remotes. We finally got around to opening the game last night. Fun! Now, I'd read in the review that it just wasn't sensitive enough for adults to enjoy but kids would think it was cool. Give a kid a lighted stick, right?!? I can see what they were saying, but boy did I have fun being Ventress and defeating Luke...probably too much fun to Joey's dismay. Maybe if they remake this or something like it to use the Wii Motion Plus sensor we'll give that one a try too. For now, we'll have great fun with this! Star Wars and Sci Fi fan I am!<br />
<br />
The original and a neat crackled texture version can be seen here:<br />

And, yes, I was experimenting a bit last night with B&W and various filters. Just ignore those, please!<br />
<br />
I just liked the silhouette of Joey's face in this one. Johnny is off frame with the blue one. I took about 50 shots...just fun stuff in the dark. Be better if I had a dark room with no clutter...too much unwanted stuff showing up in most of the shots. <br />
<br />
Thank you for the comments on my leaf shot:-) I had to collect those acorns not once but twice because I had to walk away with Johnny for a few minutes before I could take my shots and they got scattered about while I was gone. I'm sure the squirrels were envious. <br />
<br />
At this point...Ida, Ida go away and don't come back again another day.<br />

Terrific shot! And thanks for the explanation. Looking at the thumbnail, I had no idea what this might be.
