Weekly Photo Projects, Week 11

Week 11: Spring
Panoramic Spring
Week 11 came and went with little fanfare. For +Weekly Photo Project 2013 I used this five shot panorama that I originally thought would be a throw away shot. I was trying to use my auto exposure lock function on my camera (which either didn't work the way I expected, or just didn't work at all for this shot) and thought I'd be tossing this shot after I finished stitching the five shots together. I ended up keeping it because I liked the vibrant colors, and really liked the clouds. If you zoom in (on the original at least) you can even see what I hope to be the last patches of snow on the background mountains.

Week 11: Old
Ironing
For +Project 52 B&W our very wide open theme was old. I don't like wide open themes, I like theme with a little more direction. I spend more time debating what is the theme then taking a shot. I happen to come across this old? antique? iron while doing some spring cleaning. My parents had a bunch of old stuff, and this coal heated iron was among them. My take away is that though ironing still sucks today, it sucked even more way back when. Especially when there were no wrinkle free shirts to be had.

He wasn't the hands on teacher type, I think he just expected me to know how to do things or how to behave. But, when you misbehaved you could be assured of him letting you know about it.

Monday, as just about everyone knows, Apple gave a peek at a couple of its updates in the operating systems arena, both mobile and desktop. Most people knew what to expect in the first half, OS X Lion is coming in July. And although I knew what most of the updated stuff was going to be I still found myself wanting to update right then and there. I mean why wouldn't you? It's $30, and I don't have to run down to a store to get it. Actually, I couldn't if I wanted to, but that's another story. But it's the second half of the presentation that was more, interesting, if you're an iOS person.
