Picture-A-Week 2024 - Week 15

[pierces]

Pictures taken between Monday, April 8 and Sunday, April 14.

 

Any CCers heading to the band of totality to take some photos?

 

Let's see them!

 

Rules: See above

That's it. This isn't a contest.

All photos taken this week are welcome (not just cruising).

Prizes will not be awarded. Discovering the joy of photography is the prize.

The idea is to get folks out using their cameras for more than vacations and toddler birthdays.

Post one. Post many. Up to you.

Have fun with your camera and share your fun with others!

SO....eclipse. 

 

We had 52% coverage here, so I thought I would go ahead and take a few shots.

 

The solar filter from 2017 was a normal filter ring with an aluminized plastic film as the filter medium. Apparently, oxidization is the foe of a 7-year-old aluminized plastic filter.

Oh, well.

 

I settled for a pinhole projector made out of a UPS receipt held over a napkin. Not falling asleep in sixth grade science class finally paid off!

I am an avid fan of burgers. While a long-held aversion to personal hugeness limits my consumption of them to a reasonable level, I will choose a burger from a menu more than any other meal (except maybe tacos). The Carl’s Jr. Breakfast Burger has been an occasional weekend treat for a long time but over the last couple of years, a non-combo price tag of over $7 has inspired me to build my own. My penchant for DIY has led to a long list of things that have given us far more bang-for-the-buck than “store-bought” could ever provide. The burger pictured here is no exception. Even with a quality Angus beef patty and extra sharp white cheddar, it cost less than $3.50 to produce. Best of all, there was no glamorous menu photo vs. reality slap in the face.
