January 29 - That's Cheatin'

Empty handed.

I meant to get out for a break during the day today, but paperwork and conversations and meetings ate up that idea. Took the dog for a walk (sorry 'bout the flash the other night!) and found a couple interesting ideas. Just couldn't pull them off (needed a taller tripod, a different lens, etc.) For the record, I tried, but those shots were terrible (too slow a shutter speed for handheld, and I couldn't get the composition I wanted on my tripod.

Do they make 6-ft tripods?

Anyway, decided to setup a semi-elaborate setup to play with stop-motion photography. It involved a nearly-expired carton of whole milk. That's all I need to say about that one.

(A minor victory: our dog does not freak out with the flash if she's in the other room, and I've got the dishwasher running.)

Then my ebay wireless triggers conked out, and I looked at my watch.

And it's tomorrow already. So while I'm cheating, I figure I'd get proof and also get a photo posted.
