I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We drove down to Nebraska for a few days and in typical day-after-Thanksgiving fashion (well, every other year), I was able to go to the Husker game. This was the first time I took my camera in with me, which was interesting. They didn’t give me any trouble, but it isn’t the easiest thing to use when you in a packed stadium. I managed to make a shaky video and took a few other pictures, though.

Week 46 – Jordan
On Wednesday we had a going-away dinner for some friends that are moving to Seattle. The way seating worked out, I didn’t really sit near enough to them to get many photos (one group photo has most of them in it). Instead, Joel, Meghan, and Noah were close enough for me to pester for the night. Noah is growing very quickly and looked pretty darn cute in his sweater vest.

Jon and Maria were wanting some pictures with Grace so we met them at the Holmquist’s for a quick session. Almost all of the pictures were taken outside but we started with a few indoors. What I like about this picture is that we were able to get a “studio” looking shot in a decidedly non-studio environment. Jon, Maria and Grace were sitting on the floor of the living room, Nila was standing on a couch behind them holding a large black blanket. The lighting was all natural (from windows to the right and behind me).
The rest of the pictures are up here.

Week 45 – Jordan
We had a rather long walk from our parking spot to the Santa Monica Pier when we decided it would be a nice place to visit. Our view was pretty nice from there, too.
This guy was taking a nap from his hard day of work playing the guitar at the top of the cliff.

According to some[one], Maggie has been significantly underrepresented this year. With time running out on the 2010 52 Project, I figured I better get started posting pictures of the “cutest, nicest, softest, fuzziest black dog ever.”

Week 44 – Jordan
Previously, I mentioned how I would use other shots from our vacation as fallback material. Welcome to the first one of those. This shot was from the morning of our balloon flight as they were preparing the balloons. It’s quite the process and very neat to watch. The man standing in there was actually our pilot. Another balloon had a dog helping out, which was cool. The dog really liked the fans.

I don’t really dabble in HDR much. In fact this is only my second attempt (the first being the Golden Gate bridge from our Napa trip.) Anyway, stained glass is something that, to me, almost begs for HDR; it’s the only way you can really convey the color and beauty in a single picture.

Week 43 – Jordan
As it turns out, last week’s experiment with getting off-camera lighting going with my camera was time well spent. Today (well, tonight) we hosted a Halloween party and most everyone even dressed up! We had a jailbird, an animal family, a Minecraft creeper (huh?), a snow ninja, a doctor, a door-to-door witness, Snooki and the Situation, vampires with their cute pet ladybug, and Amelia Earhart with her doctor husband and their not-allowed-on-Apple-products baby (huh?).
For the costume photos, I had my external flash sitting on the countertop being triggered by my camera. My goal, in the limited space I had (our kitchen), was to hit everyone from the side and get their shadow up on the wall for a more “Halloween-y” look. Next year? More lights, I hope!
