February 21






Shapes from around my office! Our school mascot is the Knight - so we have a few of these guys around the building. Thought all the different shapes were fun! The lighting, however, was not fun. Lots of those flourescent school lights -yuck!
50 mm lens (again!), ISO 400, Manual mode, f2.8, ss 1/20-1/80

Wow...just how awesome is that! I would have never guessed that it was a knight from teh first few photos. But, who would? I bet you are the only one with a knight in shining amour..literally...at their side all day. :) Question is...does he do paperwork?

Kristina said...

You had me guessing what I was looking at! Nice shots.

Cool! And I was thinking it was some kind of kitchen utensil like a colander.

Margaret said...

I love those close-ups. I was trying to figure out what it was! Way cool knight! Nice job.

You did an excellent job with those flourescents. Love the first few, would never have guessed a knight. You have such a wonderful eye.

Amy said...

These are cool! I loved seeing all of the different ones. You did really well with poor lighting, I can't even tell.

Fun take on shapes...you got some interesting ones for sure. I like that "curly-Q" one. Good job with the lighting too.

Love the details you captured here. And, the last shot that ties them all together is really fun. Nice eye!

Very cool shapes! Our high school mascot is a Knight also. They do a fundraiser for Project Graduation where you leave the knight at someone's house and they put a donation in his backpack and pass it along. I had fund with it for the day or two we had it but didn't get any photos as good as yours.

Sara said...

First of all, your school is really cool for having these guys around.

Secondly- I love the detail shots, and I really really like the grain with them. For these shots, it adds to the picture.

Wow! That's fantastic! I was a little alarmed at first when you said it was in your office. . . who needs armor at work? (Wait! Maybe we All do!) Debbi, did you see those other planet-things in the sky last night? Do you know what they are?
