Link vs the Stormtroopers

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 24 Oct 2015 20:35:00 +0000

I had link in for a photo shoot today, so I decided to use my Nikon 40mm Micro to make sure I capture his incredible acting versatility.

He wanted a backdrop of classics, so LOTR and D&D were made available. As we were shooting, a duo of Stormtroopers came looking for him.

Mini-bar done right

This is the mini-bar selection you get at the Park Hyatt Tokyo - its just as classy and well refined as the rest of the hotel. The whole place is a 5 star experience and, if you are a fan of Bob Harris and Lost In Translation, a total "must visit".

Always memorable walk in Paris

Well, if I lived in Paris, I would take a break regularly for some expresso and a baguette.

The buildings... the buildings.

If you have never tried Grom, you should. Fantastic gelato, even if its a big chain. Way above "Amorino" which is a close by competitor next to rue Buci

These guys were actually pretty good.

Having used them, the bikeshares actually work in Paris. But paying for them at the automated kiosk is quite difficult.

Closed bar at the Ile de la Cite. Empty its even more pretty.

The Seine.

A photo from the Griffith Observatory. Did some polarization post-production in Topaz, but mainly had to straighten a bit with ShiftN.

Anybody use other tools to straighten photos?

Cleaning Tires

Is he cleaning his truck's tires or the road?

Big Thunder Mountain

I actually love this ride, even if its considered one of the less "adrenaline" rides of Disneyland.

Burst shot as hit hits a curve. Nice to see the anticipation and fun in people's eyes.

Sometimes, you deserve a bit of London in LA.

We Want You

We want you, for my nerd shelf. And yes, you are the droid we are looking for.

Common, but always fascinating.

POTUS Ride

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 09 Jun 2015 15:24:00 +0000

Had no idea you could actually visit one of the retired Air Force One's. This one is at the Reagan Library, near LA in California. It's a lot smaller than what you expect from the movies, but we've been told the new one has 2 levels, a workout room, a theater, etc...
