The Pip is nute about superheros at the moment, primarily the Justice League, and particularly Batman. He’s got quite the pile of toys around this theme, making for a decent photo subject: Technically, these aren’t all Bat-Toys– you can see a Spiderman Lego set in there (from some alternate universe in which Peter Parker got… Continue reading 083/366: Bat-Toys!

082/366: Stickers!
I try not to have this be the cute-kid-photo-of-the-day, but really, how could I not use this shot: The Pip was not a huge fan of the antibiotics that came with his strep-throat diagnosis, so we bought a sticker book as a bribe reward for taking his medicine. Yesterday afternoon, in one of the brief… Continue reading 082/366: Stickers!
081/366: Pre-Dawn
For a brief, glorious moment the time change meant that I didn’t need a flashlight for my weekday morning walks with Emmy. Sadly, the inexorable motion of the Earth in its orbit means that we are once again into the zone where the sun isn’t above the horizon when we take our morning stroll: That’s… Continue reading 081/366: Pre-Dawn
080/366: ISO Revisited
A little while back, I did a comparison of the different ISO settings on my camera, and a bunch of people commented that it would be interesting to try to match two photos at different levels. So, here’s that: These aren’t quite perfectly matched, because the time settings give me a limited range of options,… Continue reading 080/366: ISO Revisited
079/366: Leaf Leap
the Pip officially has strep throat, and thus had to stay home today, but the antibiotics he started yesterday (over his very strenuous objections) have worked wonders, so his energy level was pretty much back to normal. Which means that we spent a while out in the back yard raking up a big pile of… Continue reading 079/366: Leaf Leap
078/366: Quantum Calculations
As threatened yesterday, another staged shot for a “quantum is difficult” image for an upcoming talk. This is a piece of a homework solution that was on a pad I had lying around– those are infinite square well wavefunctions. It’s about as trivial as you can get from quantum, but looks math-y enough to make… Continue reading 078/366: Quantum Calculations
077/366: Quantum Books
Another talk-prep photo, because I wanted a shot to suggest the academic side of quantum physics. Of course, my actual textbooks are all in my office on campus, but then, they mostly have boring covers and titles, so they’re not a great visual. So I stacked up some pop-physics books: I meant to write out… Continue reading 077/366: Quantum Books
076/366: Air Traffic
It was a cool clear morning when I took Emmy out for our morning walk, with a band of high clouds running eat-west across the sky to our north. After watching a bit, I realized that these were probably entirely seeded by jet contrails, as I saw at least four planes flying along that band… Continue reading 076/366: Air Traffic
075/366: Monochrome
Another day when I only took a couple of pictures, on the morning dog walk. I noticed that one of the now leafless trees on the route looked interestingly creepy, so I took a couple shots of that. I didn’t notice that the mode selector on the camera had gotten bumped to full manual, though,… Continue reading 075/366: Monochrome
074/366: Gotham City
This is a pure document-my-day shot, not one of my random attempts at artsy effects. One of The Pip’s birthday presents was a big vinyl wall decal from Chic Walls, a gift from Aunt Erin in California. These are a little complicated to install, and SteelyKid being sick messed up the whole week, but I… Continue reading 074/366: Gotham City
