| The backlighting on this low branch made the leaves glow. I
had to capture it.
I was attempting to hide the telephone pole in the background
behind the trunk of the tree, but forgot to account for
parallax. The viewfinder on the automatic 100 is a good five
inches from the lens, and when situated vertically like this,
the viewfinder is to the right; hence the error. The aperature
saves it from being too obvious, though.

| | Description :
| The point of focus was the red flower in the center of the
shot, but looking at a blown-up scan of the print, I see that I
should have stopped the aperature down for this shot to get
more depth of field. The subject just isn't large enough to
pull it together.
Vegetation seems to be a good test of color rendering. It's
something most people are familiar with. Here I see
limitations of 669 color rendering. The flower really is more
vibrant in person. The green vegetation looks alright, and the
fence color is dead-on. (I'm sure my cheap scanner doesn't
help, either.)
The vertical lines on the bottom of the shot are scanner-
induced; there's some dust on the underside of the scan bed. In the future I'll have to avoid scanning on
that section of the scanner.

| Portland is the Rose City, and there are rosebushes up and down
my block. This rather large specimen was a good eight feet
deep from where I had my camera; I couldn't focus on the whole
thing at once.

| Chula, a neighbor cat, decided to visit me while I was looking
for things to shoot. Capturing a dark, moving, dappled, cat
in dappled light is tough! I'm reminded why 35mm users love
their autowinders and autofocus.

| Chula, a bit more mellow this time.
I took this photo to test my exposure settings; I should've
cranked it a bit lighter. Dappled cat, dappled light...

| My wife planted a bunch of sunflowers in our backyard earlier
this year. A few have already met their demise, but a few have
been absolutely prolific, sprouting dozens of flowers as seen
here.
The unevenness of the sky tone is interesting; I wonder if it's
not a flare artifact. I've seen it in a few other shots I've
made.
