(what we have finished)
(what we need to finish)
All those little squares? Buildings we need to photograph. Every single one of those. Yesterday we thought we were really smooth and got almost 200 pictures all afternoon. Evidently, we were short by....oh....about a thousand. Today we took out two cameras, one on a tripod with a wide angle lens, and the other a standard 18-55 mm, making our "quota" at almost 1300 pictures. It was kind of overcast which made some of the shots a little dark, but the sun eventually came out towards the end. The temperature is supposedly supposed to go up, but it is coming with some rain so we might be stuck in the office working for a bit editing and such.
Actually, I found out a couple problems with using a tripod:
1. Arielle yielding it as a weapon (to me as well as to strangers)
2. People thinking that they can just get in our shot. We had a couple freakin' crazies talk, pose, yell, etc.
Also, I had to sass a cop because he pulled up all over the corner of the sidewalk and yelled out his window to me, something about complaints about people filming on some street we weren't even close to. I just had to politely inform him that no, we were not a. three blocks over, b. not disturbing the peace, or c. we werent even filming, duh.
(Well, we did go over a block, one block, but just to follow a friendly local, another story!)
So we get back to the office, and I try to load the 720 pictures on my camera onto my laptop, but my computer only registers 174 of them. WTF. Okay, I was getting PO'd because I was positive that I about 600 more and I looked like an idiot, but my uncle found some obscure PhotoRescue software in his desk and ended up getting the pictures out okay. (Of course, during this, Arielle was completely MIA, ended up being at starbucks, go fig, but she got me a venti iced green tea so it was legit).
