same sunset, different views

A few friends and I went out to Golden Gardens on Wednesday night to hang out and watch the sunset. We all had cameras, we all took pictures from relatively the same location, and we all came up with several different photos.

Here’s mine shot with an 85mm lens:

Whenever you get a bunch of photographers together to shoot the same subject, you always run the risk of churning out exactly the same photos. It didn’t happen this time. I love how you can tell each photo is from the same location on the same night, but each one has its own look. It really helped that we were all shooting at different focal lengths and focusing on different elements of the scene. It also helped that there were only 8 of us out there that night and not the 50+ of a normal Flickr meetup. :)

choosing new moo cards

help me pick out my new moo cards

I’m having trouble picking out photos for my new set of Moo cards. There are just too many to choose from, and my brain isn’t working right. So I’m turn to you, my most awesome readers (there are a few of you out there, I think…), to help me choose which images you think I should put on a new set of Moo cards. I already have a few in mind, but I’d like to know what you might like to see on the back of a card.

Have a gander at my Flickr photostream and tag the photo(s) with "Moo2" or leave a comment on the photo. After a certain point (likely in a week or so), I’ll narrow down the nominations to my final picks and share the results.

Let’s see how this works!

chase and david write about seattle strobists

Chase Jarvis and David Hobby have both posted their full write-ups on last Sunday’s Seattle Flickr/Strobist Hangar shoot. Chase posted his video and some good background information on how this shoot came about. David talked about his great experience at his very first Seattle Flickr Meetup. And the Seattle Flickrites get some major world-wide exposure (again). Everyone is jealous of us. :)

The Battle in Seattle

David Hobby snapped this awesome photo of me playing Guitar Hero at the Hangar Shoot after-party at Chase Jarvis’s studio. That’s Chase behind me apparently very impressed that I could play on Expert mode. I know Chase got video footage of me playing, and I’m very curious to see that.
