My old house in Scottsdale, it’s been a long time.
Guinness built himself a fort out of cushions.
So continuing on my project of shooting things with the flash behind them, illuminating through the subject, I decided to try some onions. This is a vidalia onion, and you can see a few pieces of skin on it if you look closely. I liked that this one had two centers to it.

This was the best of my three onion shots. I really like the green in the middle and the clear whiteness of the rings. Also the angles of refraction in the onion create some nice effects.

Here is my last onion of this day of images. This was really the one I expected to be really good, but it turned out not to be the best onion. I will defiantly have to retry a red onion again; you just can’t tell what the onions will be until you cut into it. Also as you can see on the bottom my poster board is taking a beating from the juices and needs to be replaced.

Anubis turned three yesterday so I got him a dead moose and racoon.
This isn’t a particularly great shot, but it was a nice closeup of a butterfly as I played with my flash.

Fall always produces some really nice colors, and I just really liked how this single yellow leaf looked against the stark gray background of cement.
I’m not sure the name of this sculpture, but it reminds me of a set of waves; in an odd vertical way. But here are two of the units about 6 feet apart, and I thought it created a nice looks overlapped like at this angle.
This one here is a Citron, the fingered or Buddha’s Hand variant. THis is sliced directly from the point where all the fingers are splitting off the main part of the fruit. I had to slice the bottom a bid to get it to stand up. If I try anything on the back to stand it up, it blocks the flash.
