Today's Daily Shoot assignment was Pretend you're a stringer for your local newspaper today. Make a photo that captures something newsworthy to you. I really didn't think there would be anything truly newsworthy at school - or anything I could post since I can't post pictures of the kids - but I brought my camera anyway.
As I stood in the office for a few minutes, child after child kept coming in telling the secretary that a tree had fallen. It was really windy today and it uprooted one of the pear trees in the courtyard at school. Apparently, pear trees don't have very deep roots. No one was outside when it happened and it didn't do any damage to any of the buildings but it was definitely an attraction all day long!

Raindrops on Leaves
It's a rainy, cold (for us anyway) winter day in Los Angeles so I went out to try to capture some raindrops. This was taken in my backyard with a Sigma 75-300mm 4.0-5.6 lens that only works wide open on my camera. The optics in this lens are not the best but I wanted a macro feel so it worked. The picture had lots of purple fringing especially on the big raindrop but this was easily fixed in Photoshop. I wish I hadn't blown out the raindrop but I like the feel of the photo anyway.
