Taking advantage of a foggy night to have some fun with my green laser pointer

1s exposure of the laser being swept across the camera’s field of view. Slightly enhanced with Gimp to make the beam more visible.

A Blessing of the VInes
Saturday was a pretty awesome afternoon with the Charleston Linux User Group and the 21st Century Photography (Digital & Film) Meetup Group both having meetings at Irvin House Vineyards’ Blessing of the Vine.
Sparse turnout from the LUG with 4 members showing up. Steve had his new Acer Aspire One netbook and showed it off to an interested passerby. It’s a pretty neat piece of hardware.
Had about 16 people with the photo group come out and everybody had a good time taking pictures.
Pumpkins
Some of the pumpkins from today’s pumpkin carving contest at work.
See the rest of the pumpkins here.
Where have all the pumpkins gone?
Today pumpkins entered in the cafeteria’s pumpkin carving contest will be showing up on tables just outside the cafeteria. Each year there are some pretty creative pumpkins, but also fewer of them. Since I started taking pictures of the pumpkins back in 2003, the number of pumpkins each year has gone down quite a bit for some reason.
This year there are only three tables set up for pumpkins, so I suspect the trend will continue. I’ll find out in a few hours how many of them there are this time.
Update: 13 pumpkins this year. Forgot to bring my card reader with me so pictures will have to wait until later this evening.
