I did run into a couple other guys out taking photos in the park, both of whom I know.  However, I did not know that either were into photography! Like me, they’re using photography as an excuse to get away from the desk at lunch.  We talked for a bit, but since I was on my way back in, we didn’t shoot together.  Maybe next time.

Ok, so this is a photo blog,  (or phlog, but I’ve had a couple people say that phlog sounds funny)  so where are the photos? Here’s what I think my favorite of the day is.

I believe the structure in the middle is some sort of skylight for the restaurant/food court below. In Bio Sci area of UCI, close to Aldrich Park.

This was horribly underexposed.  I’m not sure what happened.  I had been chimping most of the shots before, and they were ok. Oh well, PS was able to fix it.

There might not be a new post or uploads tomorrow (or through the weekend) since I’ll be travelling.  I will be shooting still and have a post on Monday for sure.

See the rest of today’s photos.

See all of the Project September photos.

Thanks for reading!

The Infinity Fountain near Physical Sciences at UC Irvine.

I’ve wanted to take this shot for a while now.  I didn’t get the angle I wanted because there were people sitting in that area, but I’m still happy with this.  ISO 100, F22, 1/6th, handheld.  Yes, handheld at 1/6th.  Thanks for IS!  I want to revisit this during the morning or evening when the sun isn’t as harsh.  Or maybe at night since I believe the fountain has lights.  I also need to get a ND filter so I can open up the aperture.

One more after the jump…

View of Engineering Tower through shattered glass in the Engineering Hall stairwell at UC Irvine.

I went to the top of the Engineering Hall glass enclosed stairwell thinking I could get some interesting shots looking down, or out.  Turns out it’s not so good for that, but I did get this.  One of the panes of glass was shattered, but still in place.  Must be safety glass.  Anyway, I saw this view and thought it looked neat.  ISO 400, F8, 1/500.
