Fruit Smoothie

F is for Fruit Smoothie and it was tasty! We make these frequently around our house and the kids love to have them so I thought I would practice on a glass of smoothie. We use a juicer for stuff like carrots, apples, oranges, celery (well I usually skip the celery), etc. then blend it with a few frozen strawberries and bananas. If you want an extra special treat you can throw in some sherbet to sweeten it up a bit.

Dominoes take 2

So as I was posting my dominoes photos earlier it hit me how I could get more of that "ghost" image to show by increasing the amount of ambient light (natural light in the room) hitting the dominoes. So I opened up the blinds to let more light into the room and took another go at it. I really like the one where the dominoes are more facing the camera but also included another side shot as it shows the effect real well.

Dominoes

Well D is for Dominoes. I did these with a slower shutter speed and the flash set to rear sync so it would go off just before the shutter closes, making the last fraction of a second frozen in the frame. The slower shutter speed combined with the rear sync flash left a slight ghost image of the domino as it fell.
