James Hill > 20090810 - Touch of gold for Tuesday.

Day three of the household abstracts.  This one is a cheat.  I got sidetracked yesterday and didn't get to shoot what I had planned, so this is another view of the same item from Monday.

I've added a wider view to reveal the items seen in these last two shots, and I'll add some more a little later.
James Hill > 20090810 - Monday's Macro Mayhem

Second in a week-long series of abstracts from everyday household items.  I had a lot of fun with this subject.  I have no idea exactly what it's used for (probably very little considering the tag was still on it) but I thought it made for a pretty neat time tunnel or electromagnetic accelerator.  Beware of the orbs!

I've posted a wide shot that should shed some light on the subject of Sunday's Stainless Steel Triptych.  I'll post a few followup shots of this one with tomorrows post, including my first alternate.
James Hill > 20090809 - Sunday's Stainless Steel Triptych

First in a series of abstracts for the week.  All images will be everyday household items, viewed from a slightly different perspective.  I'll add a revealing shot with followup notes into a separate gallery on the following day.
James Hill > A bunch of multicolored grapes.

Same bunch as last week, shot at roughly the same angle and time of day, but with a totally different look.  I don't know if this bunch will make it through another session.  : )

I also updated yesterday's shot with an answer.  Dirkster guessed correctly.
James Hill > Bunch of Green Grapes-2431

More from My Neighbor's Garden.  This bunch was just hanging around and looking all photogenic the other evening while I was out watering the parched garden.  Hopefully the deer will leave them alone long enough for my neighbors to get back from vacation.  I'd hate for the few pictures I've taken to be the only chance they get to see their grapes all grown up this season.
James Hill > Blueberry Bokeh-2382

Another shallow DOF closeup, this time of the blueberries growing in the front yard.  Blueberries are my favorite "super food" and, according to studies referenced on Blueberry.org, blueberries are among the fruits with the highest antioxidant activity, and eating lots of them may help slow age-related loss in mental capacity and increase exploratory behavior - two things I need all the help with I can find.  ;-)

Thanks for all the comments on the squash blossom yesterday.  Who knew there were so many people out there who have eaten them.  I had never heard of such a thing until this week but, after trying them, I'm pretty sure I know why it's a well kept secret - they're pretty darn tasty and in very limited supply since they are so short lived and delicate.  The one I photographed last night should have been cut after I shot it, as it was completely shriveled and looked rather unappetizing by this evening.
James Hill > My Neighbors Garden-2460

This guy will be a part of dinner Monday night - a few of his older brothers made the table tonight..  Anyone care to guess what it is?

Edit: Yes, it's a yellow squash blossom.  I learned just recently that they are not only edible, but very delicious, also.  This was shot with my 70-200 and a 36 mm extension tube.  I put another example in My Neighbor's Garden gallery.
James Hill > Young Whitetail Doe Watching Me Through The Cabin Window.

You ever get that feeling someone's watching you while you work?  I had that feeling last week and looked up to see this girl checking me out through the front window.
James Hill > Lightnin' Wells performing on the Grove Stage at the 2009 Festival for the Eno.  

Straight from Lightnin's myspace page: "Mike "Lightnin'" Wells breathes new life into the vintage tunes of the 1920s and depression era America employing various appropriate stringed instruments in a dynamic style which he has developed in over thirty years of performing experience. Raised in eastern North Carolina, Wells learned to play harmonica as a young child and taught himself to play the guitar as he developed a strong interest in traditional blues and folk music...."
