2 Months No Pop!

Silly MeI’ve made it two months with no pop. My goal is 3 months and I’m to the point now that not drinking any soda isn’t really bothering me. Every now and then I get a craving for a Dr. Pepper or Pepsi, but it’s pretty rare. Usually it’s only when I see someone else drinking one. It can get a bit annoying drinking the same stuff mostly fruit juices and lemonade. However, I’ve decided to push the experiment a bit further by now drinking only water for the remaining 30 days.  I’m just curious what effect if any there is to only drinking water with all meals. I’m thinking that going with strictly water is going to be harder than it was to stop drinking pop.
What does the picture have to do with this? Nothing…just me playing with a fisheye lens. If you look close you’ll see me.

Infra-red photography with a Nikon D70

d70I’ve wanted to give infra-red photography a try for some time. If you don’t know what it is, check out this or this for some samples.

I found a cool tutorial on João P. Ribeiro’s site. In his shots he is using a Hoya R72 filter. I’ve purchased one for myself off ebay and will have some samples of my own in the coming month or so.

His tutorial is very well done and is in-depth. I look forward to going through it a couple more times before I get my filter and see what sort of interesting shots I can come up with.
