PADKBFD/8 + 9 + Super Doublebonus

Blah I couldn't get this through due to posting problems, but if you checked my SmugMug, the photos would be there. Anyways to compensate, I'm posting the two I missed, and two extra bonus photos. Today's photo will come later in the day.

PADKBFD/8:

Casio Exilim EX-S880: 38mm, 1/640, f/2.7, ISO 64, multi-metering, auto exp., no flash, cloudy WB

I made this shot when I mentioned it was overcast. I tried my hand at PP and tweaked it a bit in Lightroom. I tried to rescue the highlights and shadows as much as I can, as well as reduce a bit of noise. Unfortunately this is as much I can go before the evil in-camera sharpening halo gremlins cause an uprising at the fence edges. This is one of the few times I wish I had RAW capability. But, there is still plenty of sharpness left.

PADKBFD/9:

Casio Exilim EX-S880: 47mm, 1/60, f/3, ISO 64, multi-metering, auto exp., no flash, AWB, converted to B/W in Photoshop Elements

This I made in my room when light was pouring in through the open balcony door. Unfortunately I missed an earlier shot when the light was much more pronounced and much better for B/W when my battery died on me. There was a little barrel distortion that I fixed in Elements too.

"Painting the Fence"
Casio Exilim EX-S880: 55mm, 1/100, f/3.3, ISO 200, multi-metering, auto exp., no flash, cloudy WB, focal B/W effect in Picasa 2

This shot I also made during that overcast day. I tried different effects on it, but I liked the idea of "painting the fence" so I tried the focal B/W effect in Picasa. I quite like it.

+ 8x loupe over lens

I tried a jab at nature macro photos. It's very difficult to focus since to focus, I have to move the camera back and forth since I used a regular 8x loupe (what you would use to look at film on a light table). I think these first few shots were alright.

Well thank you for your patience. And enjoy the bonus! (they are available on my Mug also)
