Frigidly


Another from our field trip on Saturday.  In the Bold North, the brutal windchill doesn't keep bicyclists at bay.


Techie Corner

Like I said yesterday, the soft edges, inherent with my cheap fisheye lens, don't necessarily detract from the subject.  In this case, the soft edges can even give the feeling of motion.

Modernly


Another one from our short field trip yesterday.  The Weisman always looks so pretty in the sun.  A cold, crisp, winter day. 


Techie Corner

I used the cheap fisheye for this shot also.  It does get pretty soft around the edges, but that's fine, as long as the center is sharp.  In fact, that softness actually comes in handy for tomorrow's image.

Acclivity


A while back, I bought a cheap fisheye lens for my camera.  Today the husband and I went out for a bit and I tried it out.  Temp wasn't bad outside, a balmy 16ºF, but the wind was BRUTAL. 

Apparently, Minnehaha Falls was the place to be today, brutal wind or not.

Monkey


My mom always had two pictures of me that she could flip back and forth.  For this one, she would say, "See the monkey?" And then she would flip to the next one, me in the same outfit, standing, facing away from the camera, with no pants.  Then she would say "The monkey ain't got no pants!"  I can still hear her saying that.  Brings back fond memories. 

I do still have the second picture, but people are so weird about cute naked baby photos these days that I'm not going to post it.
