Was itching to go somewhere and have a proper photo shoot day, so I looked up things to do in Carmel and happened upon a place called Point Lobos State Reserve. Saw some cool photos on Flickr, so that's where we went last Saturday. We didn't get too far away from where we parked, but we had an awesome couple hours or so exploring the rock formations and tide pools near the spot we stopped. I think it was somewhere near Weston Beach that we spent all our time. Point Lobos is a huge park, so we barely, barely even scratched the surface of what we could do there. We'll definitely go back again sometime and get there earlier in the day so we can fit more activities in, but I was pretty content with the time we spent there that day. There were a bunch of hermit crabs running around in the tide pools. Hubby fished one out for a second. You can see the little guy's claw, how cute. :)
Somewhere I stumbled across the technique called "freelensing", where you hold your SLR lens against the mount and swivel it around to focus (please Google for more details; I'm not responsible for any damage you inflict on your camera!). It seems like the "poor man's" alternative to getting a Lensbaby. Works for me, since I don't have the budget for a Lensbaby yet (it's on my Amazon Wish List, in case anyone wants to be ridiculously generous :D ), I was happy to try this out. Hope I'm not ruining my D90 with this experiment... *sheepish grin*

Wasn't feeling up to going on a special trip for today's 'Roid Week photos. Luckily Pixel went up into the window and presented me with an opportunity. :)
I take lots of photos of my cats because they're easy subjects, so why not feature them at least once for 'Roid Week? :) Incidentally, when I first took this photo, the overall cast was a lot less green, almost looking like a faded, but normal Polaroid shot. However, as the afternoon wore on, the green cast became a lot more pronounced. Thought I should scan it now, lest it get even greener in a few hours! Ah, expired film... Also, it's a lot harder to take candids of the cats with a Polaroid since the camera is so dang loud. :-/

Pixel kind of looks like he's thinking about the squirrel in the tree outside that he and Sprite were staring at. :)
Sprite in the new lounger we got for the kitties. He is a natural-born lounger; we just gave him a new place to do it in. :)
