Once again, I was down at the Rainier Brewery doing music shots. It was nice and bright out so I took a walk along Airport Way S. to shoot some pix. There were some large puddles along the way and I decided to get the sun and a telephone pole in the mix.

I liked how the four lines echo a bass guitar. But that's just me... :)

Ok, one month down. Did some cool things this month and took some cool pictures. I was a little uninspired today and just shot stuff in the front yard. Almost went with an abstract focusy picture of a plant, but decided to wait. Had rehearsal again at the Rainier Brewery and there was a door open to a courtyard. Inside this courtyard were four walls completely covered with graffiti!

Bonus!

Trouble was, the place was lit with oh-so-yellow sodium lamps (think streetlights) and there was sky up above. And it was dark. I busted out the flash to try to use it and succeeded in getting hardly anything useful. I didn't bring a tripod so I couldn't do long exposures. In the end, I wanted to go wide so I stuck on the kit 18-55 and the flash and hoped for the best.

As it turns out, the one I chose was the one I liked best, but maybe not the best picture. Maybe tomorrow I'll bring the tripod as I'm going out one more time.

Goodbye January 2010. Bring on February!

Cutting it close again. And I'm having Blogger issues uploading, so hopefully this Picasa upload works. I took more pictures tonight at the Rainier Brewery again as a Christmas gift I exchanged came in today. It was an off-camera shoe cord. In other words, I can attach the Speedlite to this cord and hold the flash in my hand. I took a bunch at the studio and I liked this one (though the others were cool too).

My beloved SB-2, my new earplugs, an awesome Ampeg SVT-3 Pro and a 6x10 cab. Awesome.

Ok, I had a different picture ready to go in the event I wasn't home by midnight. Well, I made it home by midnight and as my pictures download, I hope there's one I deem worthy to post.

Be right back.

I just checked them out. One I liked, because the lighting conditions were terrible and I had to hand-hold the camera, but the picture came out pretty sharp. But I'm not going to use it, as I have some graffiti ones up already. Instead, here you go:

I had rehearsal at the old Rainier Brewery for a project I'm filling in on. The guy needed a bassist and looked me up so I've been practicing with them. He has a CD release coming up and I'll be playing that show. Tonight was our second rehearsal and it's been going pretty well.

This picture isn't the best, but of the 41 I took, I liked it the best. I like how you can see the amp through the drum set. I like how the drum set is orange and has a huge double-bass setup.

That's not the kit the drummer I'm playing with uses, thankfully.

ps: I have a feeling people will like my reject better (mainly because it's clearer).
