Contrast

My fourth entry in The Composition Challenge is for subject isolation and contrast. This one was a little harder to find good subjects as part of my daily routine. The other evening I was taking pictures of dinner prep for a possible recipe post that I haven’t yet gotten around to. With our stainless steel […]

Koozå

Celebrated my sister’s birthday by joining her and the family yesterday to see Cirque du Soleil’s Koozå touring show at Marymoor Park in Redmond. I’d never been to a circus before! The classic-but-modernized acrobatics were super impressive. Just amazing what humans can train themselves to do. The clowning act was also fun and funny in […]

Comment on 😈 🚎 by Andrew Woods

<a href="https://blog.ultranurd.net/author/nward/" rel="ugc">@nward</a> I used to live near there! 8th & Pine St. It always amused me when the electronic sign on the buses would say “To Terminal”, because as we know from medical dramas, terminal patients are about to die. So I interpreted the sign to mean “ride and die”. It's a little dark, I know :)

Oscar Scoring

Following up on my Oscar Picks, I got a total of 20/43 points based on the results. I was completely wrong about acting and writing but did get a couple of the big ones. Not bad for not knowing much about any of these! For a couple of them my second idea ended up winning… […]

Frames

My third entry in The Composition Challenge, now actually in the week it occurred, is about frames within frames. This is also the first one where instead of keeping an eye out for things to frame I thought of some specific places where I knew there was a good frame. As always still just using […]

Lines

For my second entry in The Composition Challenge, it’s time to tackle Lines. I apparently received the assignment email subconsciously last week when I took a foggy shot of a sidewalk vanishing into the distance. As before these pictures are all just from my iPhone. Up first, yesterday on the way home we walked past […]

The Rule of Thirds

For my first (belated) entry in The Composition Challenge, it’s time to try and apply the Rule of Thirds. All of these are taken with the camera I have with me, my iPhone 15 Pro. First up is a mural by @Pazuzu810 (which my kid and I both thought at first was a Henry) on […]

The Composition Challenge

I picked up a lot of reasonable photography composition ideas as a kid from my dad (former yearbook photographer and family vacation documenter), but I’ve never really thought much about it formally. I think I have a decent eye but I’m also just doing a bunch of phone shots these days. It’s something I’ve long […]

Lady of Pain

Since Planescape was always my favorite setting, and the D&D minifig packs were starting to not be available, decided to splurge on a specific pack of the Lady of Pain on Etsy. Kid opted for the tiefling one. Maybe we’ll use these in a game? The headdress is that rubberier material to get the blade […]
