West 4th Street

From 2010 Blog

- During our trip to New York City back in April we spent a day in Greenwich Village. Near the end of the day we turned and walked down West 4th Street with it's block of famous "sex shops". This is the Pink Pussy Cat Boutique with a bicycle chained to the "No Standing Anytime" sign post. While you can't stand in front of a famous tourist attraction, apparently bicycle bondage is allowed. Only in NYC. Canon 7D, 1/320 sec @ f/3.5, ISO 800.

Remembrance

From 2010 Blog

- Took this picture of Old Glory for Memorial Day. Just remembering my father, Edward H. Sullivan. He retired from the U.S. Army after serving in France and Germany with the Eight Infantry Division in WWII and during the Korean Conflict with the 25th Infantry Division. He was twice awarded the Bronze Star Medal with Valor and the Combat Infantry Badge and also the Purple Heart with Oak Leaf Clusters. Canon 7D, 1/200 sec @ f/6.3, ISO 200.

Cat's Eye

From 2010 Blog

- Our cat Sasha was between the blinds and the window today when I noticed her carefully watching me. The camera caught her gaze with the blinds reflected in her right eye. Cat's have outstanding vision and see just as well as we can with only 1/6th the amount of light. Canon 40D, 1/100 sec @ f/3.5, ISO 400, 50mm macro.

Touch Tone

From 2010 Blog

The "Touch Tone" telephone was standardized when the dual-tone multi-frequency (DTMF) system in the new push-button telephone was introduced in the 1960s, and replaced the rotary dial. When used to dial a telephone number, pressing a single key will produce a pitch consisting of two simultaneous pure tone sinusoidal frequencies. The row in which the key appears determines the low frequency, and the column determines the high frequency - hence the name dual tone mutli-frequency. Canon 40D, 1/20 sec @ f/2.8, ISO 800, 50mm macro.

Five Star

- Shameless promotion of Hampton Roads Transit's website gohrt.com. I'm pretty proud of what we do with the website and all of our technology projects. My small team of techno magicians are amazing! These are HRT promo prencils illuminated with an LED alternate lightsource to give it that cool glow. Canon 40D, 1/50 sec @ f/4.0, ISO 800, 50mm macro.

A Lovely Shade of Blue

From 2010 Blog

This hydrangea has a lovely blue color, some might call it periwinkle. This night photography technique uses the micro Litepanel LED to eliminate the bloom. The LED light gives very true color results and since the low power light falls off rapidly, the background is black and the vivid colors of the flower dominate the image. Canon 40D, 1/800 sec @ f/4.0, ISO 800, 50mm focal length.
