Still no D90… Should be for next week. Life goes on.

I found a variant to my “Bellyshooting” technique: Here I am “Capshooting”:

I am not a big fan of graffiti’s. Sometimes thought, there are pieces of art to be found

Here is what happened that night. Toward the end of the meal, I looked at that empty bottle of coke thinking there must be a shot to made here. So I drew a face on a finger, put the “point & shoot” in macro mode and started playing with the camera.

Suddenly, after I put that finger inside the bottle to take some shots, the company phone went off.

I didn’t wanted to lose the call and I had other shots to take with the bottle, so I went on tho answered the call with as I was.

For some obscure reasons, my son thought that was funny…

I won’t have my D90 before another week at least. Patience is in order.

In the mean time I continue to use the Old Point & Shoots camera, the Canon SD870 IS in particular, there are some good sides to it.

The macro mode is so easy to use or are some would say, so easy to lose a bit of your sanity with it.

This shot was taken in the streets of Valleyfield. A car was passing by and this cute little fellah was admiring the landscape.

I could not resist…

Gee, I love the downtown Montreal stores “vitrines” and their mannequins. I could spend hours to shoot images, endless possibilities…
