260/365 - Jim - Lost in Repetition

( f/14 35mm 1/125 sec ISO 200 Nikon D300 )

This is called a fractal droste. I don't know how exactly it works, but it makes a really cool image. I've seen these before and nobody explained what it was, so I never knew how to create one. While surfing the web today for an unrelated reason, I stumbled upon this program that gives you the ability to easily create these. I'm sure I'll use this effect again. It's very Escher like.

113/365 - Jim - Framed On The Fly

( f/22 48mm 1/5 sec ISO 200 Nikon D300 )

Theme is frame. I looked out my back door after work and noticed some really nice late day light on the trees. I had this idea for a while so I went to get the frame taken apart and get my camera. By the time I was able to take the photo, the sun had moved on and I lost the perfect light. I took the photo anyways, but know it could have been better. My wife held the frame while I took the shot. I used a rear flash to light the frame so the shutter was pretty slow and resulted in less than perfect sharpness. I made the inside of the frame black and white with Lightroom.
