07/07/07 Dgrin Global Image Day Entry Thread

Nikolai

This is the thread you submit your pictures to.

One post per person, please. Entries only, no comments (we have original thread for discussion)

Picture must be taken by you at any time during the Saturday July 7 local time.

The following extra info is encouraged, but not mandatory:

• date/time info (when)
• geo info (where)
• EXIF and/or link to EXIF (how)
• short story (why)

Let's make it best Global Image Day ever! :barb

PS. We will most likely try to preserve all the images in a separate gallery, much like how we do it with the contests winners. If for whatever reason you don't want your image to end up in that gallery, you have two options: 1) don't submit at all, or 2) make it VERY CLEAR that your image is not to be taken out of the context of this entry thread. Thank you!

I woke up when the clock chimed 7, and thought: I have seven minutes to do something cool. I always make coffee first thing, so why not? Here it is, complete with random crumb and #$%!! cat hair on the lens. Adjusted for distortion but not much else.

The first day without rain for ages so I had to work today. I sprayed the Oil Seed Rape to make it ready to harvest evenly. Count down to harvest has begun... Weather permitting

As Stan said - no rain today. We managed to fit in a day trip to sunny Stratford, taking a boat ride along the Avon. I think this photo captures a bit of everyhting.

The wife and I took the children down for the week. We had a good time playing in the water. The '79 Boston Whaler took it like a champ.

Such a gorgeous day here! Thought I'd stop by the park on my way back to the hotel after work and take a few photos.

I shot with a 16-35mm f/2.8, carefully zooming during the exposure.
Of course, the "escape point" was at the center and I had to compose for this frame.

Here is my 7/7/7 entry. I was driving a friend to the airport and afterwards turned around and went back to take this picture. It's on the corner of Pass Ave and Olive Ave in Burbank across from Warner Bros Studio. I'm a little obsessed with Harry Potter right now.

Hey Nikko, thanks for organizing this fun assignment.

Here are two I captured today; Can't decide which I like better. You guys tell me and I'll delete the loser.


1. Look, up in the sky!

Yes, it's Los Angeles' iconic city hall, or some may recognize it as the Daily Planet Building, made famous in the Superman TV series of the 1950s


self edit: OK, the boss man has spoken and #2 is the winner. I'll post city hall on the world in pictures site.


2. Los Angeles Convention Center: photo styled as an architectural rendering and sized in Shay's oh-so-fave 10:4 aspect ratio.

Didn't get out too much today--but my neighbor John recently bought a '58 Impala. He was moving it around on his driveway so he could get underneath to check out the suspension. It's quite a car...

Gloomy day at the coast
Taken July 7, 2007 between 7:06 to 7:09 p.m. coastal California time, Latitude 37.6.

It was just too cold, damp, gray and miserable all day long. I had all sorts of ideas on where to go to take some decent pictures yesterday, but alas, the gloomy day just dampened all enthusiasm. So here's a vignette of my world from my doorstep.

From top left to bottom right: Looking south. Gray skies, and utility poles and wires. Directly west a zoom of the trees across the highway. My neighbor's Roses (white and red). It "misted" enough last night to leave some puddles. My grandson's thrift store skate board wheel.

Well, i guess i'm boring. I did what many many many people did today. I purchased a lottery ticket. Go figure!
As you can see, it's in FL, and i hope I'll be the lucky one (right!)

Auspicious Skies on an Auspicious Day
"Auspicious Skies on an Auspicious Day"

Monsoon season has started in southern Arizona. All day I was waiting for the perfect 07.07.07 photo moment, and around 7:30pm I was granted my wish. The rainbow was fading fast, I just caught the tail end by surprise. I was in a rush. If only I had checked the camera settings and had taken it off of automated portrait mode it could have been better. I'm not sure what it's focused on, but hey --- it's a rainbow in the sky on July 7, 2007!

Some friends of mine got married today at Oakland's Paramount Theatre. It is a beautifully restored 1931 Art Deco building designed by Timothy L. Pflueger. I wasn't the official photographer, but you know how it is, I brought my camera anyhow. This is my favorite shot from the day; taken not too long after the (brief) ceremony at about 11:20am PDT. It was dark in there--this was shot at f/1.4 1/50s ISO 1600.

This is one of my favorite vista points. Sweeping view towards Ventura (see the lights in the far left corner? That's Ventura, 20-something miles away).
The S-curve up front is Hwy 23.
And of course I could not miss the latest 10:4 rage :-)

* short story:

So Penny and I went up to her horse farm to shoot some photos this morning. We stopped in at quickchek to get coffee. We paid and on the way out Penny drags me over to the scratch off machine. We NEVER play scratch off... only time is at home on holidays or something with family. At any rate... Penny tosses in two bucks and tells me to pick one. We didn't realize but they were all empty on everything except $3 bingos. We didn't have any more singles so Penny waited in line to get change for a 5. Anyways, we get the scratch off, we start driving and i'm scratching away. After I go through the entire thing I look to see what I won. Right off the bat I about s*** myself... I'm like... OMFG we just won $100!!!! I'm getting all excited and I start checking the numbers. As soon as I confirm I go NUTS. I'm like... YEAHHHHHHHHH b****!!! HAHAH!! So then I realized I had three more games to check!! HAH! I don't see anything on #2, and #3. So I get to the #4 game (the big payout game) and I'm looking. Nothing?! So I start checking potential wins and i'm like... wait... the "7"... I got an 18... and wait... I got a 36 too!! s***!!! THATS A "7"!!! WE F-ING WON AGAIN!!!! I check all the numbers again... WE WON ANOTHER $100!!! $200 TOTAL off a $3 ticket!! OMG I called all of my family and told em to go get some scratch off.... So we rode out $5 of it on another $5 bingo and broke even, then went back to quickchek to buy from the same machine, but they were all dried up. No more scratch off. Anyways... up $197

7th of July Street
Taken in Madrid, Spain, 7/7/07 AM. I was walking around the Plaza Mayor shooting pics for this event, when I happened to glance at the street sign of a tiny passageway I have never paid much attention to. It was 7th of July Street and I figured there had to be a message there.

Sunset from Seattle's best view point and newest park, Ella Bailey Park. The park is so new, I could only get a arial photo of it under construction.

Thanks for giving me the perfect excuse to finally go and take pictures from the park!

Longfellow Bridge, Boston



This photograph of one of the bridges that connects Boston with Cambridge was taken from the Charles River Esplanade just past 7:04 p.m. on July 7, 2007 during an evening walk to enjoy the end of a beautiful, hot summer day. And to take pictures, of course. The wind was kicking up and the skies suggested that rain was on its way, but some folks were reluctant to call it a day and remained on the floating dock near the Hatch Shell to enjoy the evening. The photograph is geotagged. Click here for exif.

Lost track of the date. When I realized it was 7/7/07 it was already 7pm. As I knew I was running out of light, I grabbed my camera and it had the canon 100mm on it. All I could do was go out into the yard and I took this. It's one of my favorite plants.
