Photos from November

I'm going to start a new tradition of making a post at the end of a month to post a select few pictures from that month. Of course it's already starting in December, so I'm a bit late for November pictures, but whatever. It's also probably a bad time to start this tradition, as my main source of pictures doesn't start again in full swing until July or so. But maybe this will force me to take more non-car show pictures. So let's begin, November photos!

When I was home for Halloween I got to play with my dad's home made light box/studio, made from a bucket with a hole cut out of the side and a light placed on top. I did some photos of some diecast and really liked them. I had to do some white balance adjustment thought

November only housed one car show and that was the Good Guys Autumn Get Together. The weather wasn't great and I was pretty sick, so my picture taking was limited. But I still got some photos anyway.

I already posted this before, but I'll post it again. My 1957 Hawthorne bike



Of course November is the time of Thanksgiving and this year I have been bringing my camera to the family gatherings this year in order to capture more of the event and trying out people pictures. I hate posed pictures though, so I try to be inconspicuous and capture events


Though of course I can't help missing out on an Evelyn pose, she was the main subject of most of my photos anyway.

And the final pictures from November were taken at the Great Train Expo, a model train show that travels around the country. I went to the one at the Alameda Fairgrounds since I was already home for the weekend, I love model trains, and wanted to take some pictures anyway.

That does it for my pictures from November. You can guess what Decembers will be filled with, though Christmas photos may get their own post all together. I don't know what else I'll be photographing in December, however.


Also, though I have no reason to really ask any of you, casual readers to do so, I thought I'd throw it out there. AT&T recently terminated their agreement with Flickr on providing AT&T DSL customers with a free pro account, so come February I'll be losing my Pro account if I do not purchase one. So I ask for any donations if you wish to do so. My Flickr Pro account is pretty much why I got so into taking pictures. Why take 500 pictures if it takes you months to upload them?

So if you are feeling generous, please click the donation button below. Any amount is appreciated. I wish I could offer something in return, but I really have no ideas.
