Photo of the Day 17

Hello,
What a week this has been. Classes ended, finals started, I have two papers due by this Friday. . . I had a final exam yesterday, Intro to the Hebrew Bible. . . on a Saturday. . . I chuckled when I saw that on the schedule.
So, getting to the title of this post. . .
I'm posting another photo from my sepia series. I really like sepia photos, it emphasizes the contrast, without being as harsh as Black and White.

I took this with my Pentax MX and 80~200mm zoom lens. The tree was halfway down a hill, I climbed the hill, and zoomed most of the way in to crop out the other trees around it. I wanted just this tree against the sky.
Yours in Christ,
Thursday

Time for another thrilling installment of "Photo of the Day!" As you remember from last time, our heros had just managed to escape the evil red fog. . . Okay, so maybe not. . .

Here is today's photo of the day, I hope you like it.

Hey all,
Here is another photo that I took awhile ago, but just got developed. It is a bit more artistic than my usual photos. This is my first experiment with multiple exposures, and I think it came out quite nicely. Please leave feedback on this one!

Well, I have been negligent in my blogging these past few weeks. I would like to thank my ghost writer for updating some while I was sick.
I just got several rolls of film developed and scanned, so I have lots of photos to post.
Here is the next one:

Okay, here's another photo up for Thursday. He is feeling better now and is just continuing to slack off, so I decided to put another picture up for him.

Yours in Christ,
Thursday(and his ghostwriter)

(Yes Thursday, I know that it's smaller than you'd like but I couldn't get it to look good any other way that wasn't too big for your template.)

EDIT: Thank you for posting ghostwriter, I fixed the layout.

Photo of the Day 12

Thursday has been sick lately. So I, his illustrious ghost writer, have decided to attempt to keep him from getting too far behind with the Photo of the Day. He'll just have to tell y'all what this is later.

Thank you Lord for the Hot Toddy!

I have had a cold for the past couple of days. Nothing too serious, just a raw, sore throat, a hacking and unproductive cough. Well tonight I remembered that my older sister was suffering a cold when she was in Scotland, and was made a hot toddy to "sweat it out of her." It worked for her, so I figured it was worth a shot. I had Scotch, I had lemon juice, I had tea, and I had sugar to make syrup. Here's the recipe I used:
1.5 ounces whiskey
1 ounce simple syrup
1/3 ounce lemon Juice
3 ounces tea (hot)

Wow, It helped my throat, and yes, started to sweat the cold out of me. I cannot stress enough what a miracle the Hot Toddy is. If anyone is suffering from a cold, make one, or two, you won't be disappointed.

Yours in Christ,
Thursday

P.S.
I used an 18 year old Macallan for the first one, then decided that no matter how nice it tasted, that was a waste of a wonderful Scotch, so I used a 10 year old Laphroaig for the second, it also tasted good, and the smokiness seemed to compliment the other flavors very nicely.

Hey all,
Sorry about missing a day in there, I was writing a paper, and feeling sorry for myself, as I have a cold. Well, here's my next photo:

Sorry about not posting for a couple days, Zooomr was down for longer than I expected it to be. But, on the plus side they gave all pro users "Pro 4 Life" accounts, so I will never have to pay for pro status.

Here is my photo for today:

In other photo related news, I am setting up a web store, where I hope to sell framed prints of some of my photos. I will alert you all when it goes live.

Yours in Christ,
Thrusday

Hosting down. . .

Sorry, there won't be a photo of the day today, as I'm guessing you had already figured out (it's 11:45 PM). My photohosting service, Zooomr is down. I'll post one tomorrow, if Zooomr is back. I hope to go do some shooting tomorrow as well, mostly film, but some digital, just so I get some more photos to post instantly.

Yours in Christ,
Thursday
