Steve Gallow - A Year in Photos

With this blog I have begun a journey to improve my photography skills. My goal is to take photos everyday, and post my favorite photo from that day on this blog. So far, I have learned a lot, and try to share my experiences. Many of you have made comments on the blog, via email, or when you see me in person. I really appreciate all of them. I learn a lot from each of you. I hope that you will join me in my journey, and help me along the way. I have so much to learn.

Week 38, Day 269, January 20, 2010, Dinosaur BBQ Restaurant

Judy and I headed to Syracuse NY to pick up our niece at the Airport. She was flying from Charleston, SC back from her break to return to Syracuse University. After we dropped her off, we headed over to the original Dinosaur BBQ Restaurant. This colorful Restaurant has graffiti everywhere, and it's encouraged. The food is fantastic.

Photography in a place like this is difficult. I held the camera at my chest, and just took a few photos. My 50mm lens wasn't the right one to have because of the tight quarters, but I did my best.

Lessons Learned:

My 17mm lens is much better in tight quarters.
Sugar Packets can be used as a tripod on a table to repositions the camera angles.
Napkins can be used to cover up the flashing light that indicates the camera is getting ready to take a photo. (Especially when you're trying to be discrete.)

Photo details: Exposure time 1/25 sec, Aperture f/1.8, ISO 1600, Focal Length 50 mm, 35 mm equivalent focal length 82mm, Lens Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II, handheld.
