353/365 - Jim - Nintendo

( f/5.6 48mm 1/125 sec ISO 200 Nikon D300 )

At work today I saw that Smochko had this wallpaper on his computer. I said to him that I could do something almost exactly like that, but would have to find my old Nintendo. Well, it was up in the attic. I got it and set the shot up as well as I could to match the original. It's close enough.

050/365 - Jim - Playstation 3

Theme is controller. The original thought was that I would take a photo of my PS3 controller and Matt would take one of his Xbox 360. Well Matt doesn't take pictures anymore so I win :) A bunch of guys I work with all have Xbox, so we butted heads for a while. Then Blu-ray won the HD media battle and now I have some converted friends. I'm still working on Matt, but he will see the light soon enough. For this photo I had a flash behind with a softbox and one directly over the controller. I held the controller up with a couple "C" batteries directly behind where they would not be visible.
