Hot Now

- There's nothing like a hot Krispy Kreme doughnut. The melt in you mouth sugar bomb is a Southern tradition. It takes super human powers to pass up when the "Hot Now" sign is lit up. Canon G10, 1/15 sec @ f/8.0, ISO 80, mounter on a tripod and taken in a light rail. The picture is just OK but the doughnuts were outstanding.

- More from my trip to the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio last month. These neon signs are just to the left of the performance stage on the entry level. A late afternoon thunderstorm helped by darkening the skies over Lake Erie seen through the glass in the background. Canon G11, 1/8 sec @ f/8.0, ISO 400.

From 365 Project

Today was my first visit to MoMA. This neon work entitled Human/Need/Desire by Bruce Nauman is in the entrance gallery at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. The neon words cycle through a pulsating cycle until all six light up at the end. Canon 7D, 1/250 sec @ f/4.0, ISO 800.

298 - Frankie's Neon

From 365 Project

I've always been a fan of neon signs and it seems that we are seeing a lot more of them these days. This sign is at Frankie's Place for Ribs in Virginia Beach. I've been going there for years and I can honestly say the sign speaks the truth. Canon 7D, 1/800 sec @ f/8.0, ISO 200.

261 - Reel Time

From 365 Project

I am sucker for neon, it makes for pictures that pop. This is on the top of the roadside sign for the Columbus Theaters in Virginia Beach Virginia. We still associate movies with reels of motion picture film even though many theaters are shifting to digital cinema projectors. Canon 40D, 1/60 sec @ f/4.5, ISO 400, 115mm focal length. The photo is under exposed by a full 2 stops from the meter reading which helps isolate the sign against a the black night. Thanks to my wife Cindy who spotted the sign and suggested the pithy title for today's blog post.

The sign speaks for it self. On the Old Dominion University Campus, Norfolk Virginia. Canon G10, 1/80 sec at f/5.6, ISO 400.
