Just a flower photo, which I don't do many of, I was trying out the 18-105 lens from the D90 on the D60, tried doing a few macro shots, but they just didn't appear to me as much as this one... I love the way it stands out so colorful against the dimming light of the day.
This is near the library on the UNC-Charlotte campus (the library is the building in the background.) Its a fairly large 8 point compass on the grounds of the recently upgraded quad between the library and the student activity center, et all. It being so large makes it interesting to photo, which I've done a couple times before, and I just casually happened to repeat it today. This time however, a student happened to be passing over, which I didn't really pay much attention to until afterwards, and found that him being in the scene made it much more interesting.
This was just after class Monday night, came outside and the wind was warm and the sky was so interesting... I just had to try to photograph it. got some odd looks from a few classmates, but it was worth it.
This was taken with Curtis' new D90. I love the way the detail is so clear in this image.
Waiting... Alone.
(This image was actually taken on the 25th, but as I didn't decide to start the project until later, and don't have any images for the 26th, I decided to post two from that day to make up for it.)
Just an impromptu photo opportunity... You'd never guess these guys weren't intentionally posing, would you?
Starting now, and continuing for at least several hours, the server that hosts firebot will be down for an upgrade.. since the other server here is being kind enough to donate its "old" CPU and motherboard...
The server will be being upgraded from an circa-2003 Athlon XP 2400+ to an Athlon 64 X2 4000+, plus moving to a SATA disk...
Firebot will be back soon. :-)
Update: The CPU upgrade was successful, unfortunately, due to some time-consuming issues that were encountered, I've moved back my plans to migrate the system to the SATA disk, the disk is installed and ready, just have to plan more downtime to set up the system on it. Its tentatively planned for tomorrow, 9/25.
