Quack Quack

DAY 81

22 MAR 09

There's this stain on the parking lot at my local grocery store. I'm not sure what made the stain, but it's still there, and it seems to be permanent. And it looks like a duck. A very long, skinny duck, but a duck nonetheless.

This is a picture I'd wanted to take for about a week, but I never seemed to have my camera with me. Or if I did, it was raining. Or there was traffic. There was always something to prevent getting the shot. Until Day 81.

My daughter and I were going into the store, and she noticed the stain. "That looks like a duck," she said. I knew that was my sign. I had to get the shot, and it had to be right then. Unfortunately, I didn't have my camera with me. But I did have my cell phone, and it had a camera (still does). So I whipped it out and took the picture.

It's not the best quality, but I got the shot. It's a stain that looks like a duck.

The only post processing on this shot was the addition of the border and a little light sharpening.

No Parking

DAY 69

10 MAR 09

I just realized I forgot to change the upload size of my pictures back to large, so I'll be going back to take care of that. But that has nothing to do with this picture, so I'll get to the point.

These are the lines in the parking lot at my daughter's school. We were waiting for her to come out after a school function, and I happened to look down at the parking lot since I was bored out of my skull. Anyway, I noticed the lines were at pretty cool angles, so I thought I'd try and get a shot.

Post-processing: noise reduction, sharpening, border addition.
