Flickr member Zack Sheppard did me a huge favor yesterday picking this picture for a Flickr blog about Asterisks in the sky. So in one day this picture was exposed to 5,931 people.

Several of those looked at the adjacent picture and others for a total of 10,640 hits yesterday. Lots of comments on many of my photos.

Wow. Just wow.

Yesterday was another Athens, GA Strobists meet. Like the previous meets, there was lots of talk about camera capabilities, radio trigger capabilities, working the camera within the flash synchronization speed, etc.

I did stand in for some shots while we waited on actual models to show up. I think I'll stick to behind the camera.

Caught this one when Katie's friend, Sara, said something to make Katie laugh.

As this was mostly at night, my Canon wasn't focusing, so I shot in manual. While the light was right, most were out of focus. Suggestions?

Yesterday I met with some other Flickrites to check out the Bostwick Cotton Gin Festival. There were easily a couple thousand people there, which is impressive for a town of 354.

(The photos I've posted so far at writing this post are just of Bostwick. Estimate I'll end up posting another dozen before I'm done.)

We didn't stay for the parade, but instead ventured over to the Nolan House (Evan's awesome photo of the house). There were some donkeys and mules next to an old store. Then we stopped at Rutledge, a fertilizer factory in Newborn, and Mansfield. It was a fun, productive day.

My favorite of the series. Renee was patient with me, which I appreciate given this was my first time playing with this setup.

I was borrowing Megan's flash, umbrella, and PocketWizard.

Writer's Block: Call Me

Do you still use a landline at home, or do you rely completely on your cell phone?

I do have a landline at home. However, if Google Voice ever opens up to new customers, then I will switch to that. I'd much prefer the get text transcripts of messages than have to listen to the calls.

Wild Carrot Maybe

Wild Carrot aka Queen Anne's Lace aka aka aka... I'm tired of trying to identify this one. Obviously if I'm going to photograph flowers I need to either take an identification class or acquire some better resources for determining what they are.

We've Got Rats?

This little snake was found in the hallway at work. I thought the commotion was a continuation over the geyser in a sink until GH asked if I brought my pet to work. Went over the see and snagged this before maintenance took it away. Hope he enjoys life on the other side of the road.

I wish I had brought my dSLR. It really would have broought out the details. This okay I guess for automatic fash.

Here is this one large.

Dwarf Cornflower by Ezra F

"In folklore, cornflowers were worn by young men in love; if the flower faded too quickly, it was taken as a sign that the man's love was unrequited." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornflower

Its been a while since I last posted a photo here. Last year I saw the field as I was headed out of town and didn't stop to get some photos. So when it came back this year, I made sure to stop.
