Peace is back! But this time, she’s in macro.

I guess you can tell what was laying around the hotel room tonight?!

A few coworkers and I took an after hours trip down to Atlantic City tonight. I was lucky enough to ride shotgun on the way down there. I made sure to have my camera bag up front with me to attempt to take my picture for today before getting to the casinos. You never know when you will walk back out of those places once you go in.
Today’s picture is of the cruise control settings on the steering wheel of my coworker’s rental car. I love how the 100mm f/2.8L Macro can make even the most every day objects just a bit more interesting.

I wanted to play around with the new 100mm f/2.8L Macro lens a bit more tonight. I always thought that having a macro lens would open up endless possibilities of subjects to shoot in every room. Unfortunately, it has not been so easy since I got my first macro lens. I was lucky enough to capture this shot of the breakfast menu in my hotel room tonight though. I really like how the composition came out and the detail visible in the counter top.

My fiancée and I had dinner at the new Vietnamese restaurant in Leesburg tonight. The food was decent. Pho 99 in Herndon, VA is still my favorite though. However, the convenience of this new restaurant in Leesburg is…..well…..convenient!
This is a picture of a summer roll with one bite taken out of it. I got as close as I could with the Leica point and shoot. I was carefull not to get too close and have the food touch the lens. Surprisingly, this type of booboo is very easy to do if you are paying too close attention to the LCD screen on the back of the camera and not where the front of the lens is.
During post-processing, I tried to crop away as many of the distractions in the background as possible. I also ran the photograph through Noise Ninja to clean up most of the noise.
A self-proclaimed tech-geek, I enjoy anything powered by batteries or electricity. I'm not happy until I understand the full potential of any new gadget I get my hands on....
