My photos today are not in response to ANY assignment or theme and are more in line with just recording my day. Some of the Rapunzels met for lunch today, and here is a shot of Jan and Darlene chatting with Nevin, who moved to SoCal.
After they left, an amazon.com package arrived- my new Expodisc bought with amazon gift cards from my daughter (who wanted to get me something for photography but couldn’t figure out what!). Thank you, Caitlin!
The Expodisc is for taking custom white balance, reading incident rather than reflective light. You attach or hold it over your lens while doing a custom white balance setting with the camera. It works beautifully so far! The hardest part was attaching the strap (I look like Flavor Flav wearing it around my neck).
So between my newly calibrated monitor and the Expodisc, I should be getting perfect white balance every time!

What a fun day! How nice that the Rapunzels can chat in virtual space if not while in the same space. That is an excellent shot, by the way, nice composition and using your friends to frame Nevin and the computer is a very nice touch. I’ll be very interested to hear how you like the Expodisc. I’m trying not to think about the Flavor Flav reference. 😉
Thank goodness for technology! I love how you not only captured the Skype session but the necessary back-up cell phone as well.
By the way, I saw you taking the picture!
