If you like lemons or the color yellow, you will love these photos

On Saturday I decided I was going to give my new Nikon D7100 a test run with the 105mm macro lens. I setup a real basic mini-photo studio with a few flashes and ran through a bunch of different angles to attempt and capture the essence of a lemon. Here’s the photos I got. All photos copyright of Matt McDonald. All photos are available for prints and for commercial use.

Mini Skimboarding Edit

I have been in the process of slowly moving from Final Cut to Adobe Premiere for video editing. Last night I stayed up late and taught myself everything I need to know to make the official move. Above is the sample video I created as a test of my friend Matt and myself skimboarding (hence the video title Matt and Matt go skimboarding). The new Final Cut left a lot to desire, so the move to Premiere made sense. (Above: A self portrait of myself skimboarding)

Bald eagles along Bellingham Bay

I go skimboarding out in Bellingham Bay quite a bit and that is also home to about 10 local eagles. Over the years I swear they have let me get closer and closer to them or maybe I am just getting better at being sneaky. Regardless, here are some recent photo of bald eagles along Bellingham Bay. Take a look at all of my bald eagles photos in my bald eagle photo gallery: Click Here.
