Weekly Photo 15 & 16 / 52 for 2013: Fish & Cosplay

I didn’t have a chance to post a weekly photo last Sunday and by the time Monday rolled around, I didn’t feel much like sharing a cute little cat fish with the world. Life goes on with sweet, cute and innocent right beside the horrible, shocking and evil.

I need to remember to use my tripod for these aquarium shots. Using just the tank light, really slows the shutter speed down if I take it off auto. If I leave it on then I have to fight the flash and worry about the fish darting. I should look into the hand-held dusk dusk option as well. I definitely have to play with this more as the tank is looking quite nice, but I can’t do it justice.

This second photo is from this past week when my daughter decided she wanted to get some pictures of her humanized GladOS cosplay since she has a portal gun now. Yeah, I liked how this one with the companion cube came out better. There’s lots of post-processing on it, but only things you can do in iPhoto. I’d be really scary with a copy of Photoshop! Anyway, she gave me permission to share this one with everyone. And yes, our son does exist, but the birthday boy escaped the camera once again.
