Amature/Amusing photography thread

[Brian]

Sometimes asking is enough too. First, I usually do stop doing something I know is annoying if I'm asked. Second, I wasn't aware this bugged Brian. I didn't call out anybody when I posted the 'theater ticket' pic for example and Brian's coment -there- implied amusement regarding the topic. I simply figured it might be enjoyed again.

Sorry; it's just a coincidence.  Individually, Drac, Rat, and a few others have teased me about it, so it's totally a buildup of all of it.

Unintentionally -- I'm sure everyone thought it was clever, and didn't realize from my PoV it was kind of ... a lot of the same thing.  (Really, I _do_ need to get around to writing that happier ending for her (nevermind the canon!)... after Sympathy).  Okay, getting back on topic, there were some ama~zing 'god beams' this morning, but traffic was moving too swiftly for me to get a good picture until they had mostly dwindled.

Heh, 'good picture'.  Well, here's an adequate one, since it's with my phone, not the camera Jon lent me (okay, I really _do_ need to get those pictures online >_<).

Anywho:

Mmmm, sunshafts.

Should maybe also crosspost in cosplay? ;)

Some driver -- started behind me, cut across three lanes of traffic, and then cut back in front of me.  For the two miles I'm on the highway, I never need to leave the exit lane, so this was remarkably obvious.

At first I was very  -_-

Then I looked at the lettering on her trunk when we were at a stoplight.



And then I was fairly  ^_^

Took off slightly early to head to my parents' place tonight (family tech support, ugh), so I had time to stop and snap a picture of the sunset - we actually had a fairly decent one, they've been a bit dull of late.

Okay, getting back to this; I borrowed Jon's digital camera instead of using my cell phone camera for a bit, and then took a trip to Davenport to try it out.  I'll be posting the images over the next few days/weeks.

Here's a condemned building that college kids used to tear pieces off to start bonfires on the beach (now in reasonable size!):

More walking through Davenport, away from the beach to see if there are any good shots.

This is a sidewalk:

The only church in town:

Now that I've taken a photo, I will return on May 16th, 2015, just to see what's going on:

Let's see ... continuing the Davenport expedition:

Trying to frame the tree for a good composition (not sure how well I did, honestly) facing generally southwest:

Butterflies are difficult subjects, but this does demonstrate the might of the borrowed camera:

And now we cross the highway.

From the train tracks (pretty happy with this one):

That gate ... is going to take a lot of work to open:

A profusion of coastal shots ensue:

Quick break from the current trend for my new roommate:

[Arakawa]

Comfortably tablet-sized... cats sure know where to sit to get your attention.

[sarsaparilla]

Looks like it could be a Maine Coon, but it's hard to say from the picture. Anyway, a very beautiful cat, congratulations on finding a roommate! ^ω^

[Brian]

Well, Shamisen is a rescue cat, so we're not sure of his breed.  He could very well be a Maine Coon!
