Live blog from the road

I'm sitting here over at the Norwalk green line station and was thinking what better way to spend my day than to have a live picture blog. Here is the entrance to the station here

I decided last second to jump off the train to go shoot in one of my favorite spots. This time in color. Picture #4 LA City Hall

Jumped on the gold line. It seems to be where all the nice stops are. Picture #6 del mar gold line crossing in Pasadena

I seemed to hit jackpot when I got off at del mar. Currently at memorial park in Pasadena, Picture #7

Final Update 6:45 PM

All in all, I accomplished what I set out to do for the day. I had a couple of minor detours that I had to take, but my first part of research went as planned. Next time, I don't think there will be as many distractions since I will be going in a different direction from today. Hey this was kind of fun. Maybe I will do it again, since my phone was able to handle it. I have a picture set ready to go either tomorrow or Monday. Thanks for stopping by.


Final Final Update, The Next day.

I just realized I posted the best picture of the day on to my facebook and not here. So here it is.

Nice pictures for a phone!

The sky behind the station is wiggy! What's up with that??

Oh, that one was pretty cool. My phone has some built in Instagram type effects. That one is called Solarize. I hadn't heard of it before, but I was looking for something different. I think the sun was also on the left side because the picture without the effect has some weird blue shine over there.

pretty good stuff for a 5MP camera on a phone.
You were right about the best picture of the day... That is a sweet shot!

Hopefully the others that I took will come out as good as that. I have about 3/4s of a roll with just that place. I need to get out and shoot the last three.

Thanks! :-)
That 1st pic creeps me out like a John Carpenter movie (Prince of Darkness).
Very cool!!

That place sometimes feels as creepy as one of those movies too!

Thanks! :-)
Nice set. I had been thinking about doing a 10 on 10 photo set. But alas like a fool I misplaced my iphone. So maybe I will blog as I go for 11 on 11 next month. How were you able to post on the go that way. Is it an app that lets you add pics to your post as the day goes and then publish at the end of the day?

I just used the blogger app. I took the picture with the app and then it put an ultra crappy version up. I would just edit the same post and add a new picture. It was alot of fun! Then I just had to swap out the crappy pictures with the real ones from my phone afterwards.

Thats a good challenge. Is it 11 pictures every day for 11 days? that sounds like a real challenge. What I probably should try is taking a picture once a day for a whole month.
10 on 10 was a project I came across on tumblr. You start at the beginning of your day and take one picture every hour on the 10th day until you get a total of 10 pics for the day.

My sister wanted to do a 365 photo a day picture project but she hasn't gotten around to starting it. I doubt she will actually do it. I am tempted to but if I did I would make a separate site for that type of project.

That really is a good idea. I think I want to try it out!
