Northstar Roller Girls

Endless entertainment abounds in the big city. Saturday night I went to see the Northstar Girls Roller Derby. This is Pippi Van Whalen, Number 84. Lots of photo opportunities, they skate at the Convention Center in Minneapolis and you can stand right up against the track to take pics. It's a fun atmosphere, it's got that Rocky Horror Picture Show / local bowling alley feel. Fun for the whole family. I'm definitely going back with a brighter lens and a flash. The low light was hard to work with.

Curvature of Light Puzzle

Something odd is going on here. Can you figure out why there's a  halo around the head in the middle? It took me a while to figure it out and I was there! The "head" stepped infront of my subject just as I tried to shoot the pic I posted yesterday. So is there someone walking down Nicollet Ave with a really dense head? Did they generate their own distortion field? Is the Predator standing behind them? See if you can figure it out and then post a comment!

Early Bird Special

Recognize this lens? The effect of a long telephoto like this is a lot of fun. Especially when your circle of confusion has a hole in it! Extra credit if you have any idea what I just said...

Autumn Path

Autumn colors on the shore of Cedar Lake, part of the Chain of Lakes in Minneapolis. Click on the photo for an enlargement! This wraps up the autumn photos series, starting tomorrow I'll be rolling out a series from downtown with people and buildings galore!

Li'l Ground Cover Berries

Welcome to another beautiful Sunday Morning! I'm not sure which woodland critter eats these, but I'm sure they will be delighted to find them.
