Dublin Dr Pepper

Dublin Dr Pepper

Hello Flickr Friends, sorry for the long absence. I've been very busy and very lazy, but I'm hoping to make my photography better in 2012. We'll see.....

So I hear that Dublin Dr Pepper is no more. That's a shame. I don't drink a lot of Dr. Pepper, but when I do I always get the Dublin Dr. Pepper. I like the cane sugar taste and drinking from an old fashioned bottle always makes it taste better too. I wish these were not disappearing, but oh well, times change and there are plenty of other bottled sodas.

This very well could be my last Dr. Pepper. Definitely my last Dublin Dr. Pepper.

My car reached a milestone yesterday. 300,000 miles. That's more than a dozen times around the Earth. Even further than to the Moon. This car has served me well. Just put in gas, change the oil occassionally and fresh tires every few years.

Tomorrowland

Yesterday was another visit to Disneyland.

The look of the ride has changed since the beginning, but the ride is still a classic. Astro-Orbiter is always a kid's favorite.

I remember when it was called "Rocket Jets" and it was black and white with a tall rocket in the middle.

I wish I had a fancy Aston Martin with a huge ceiling softbox to light it. Unfortunately I'll have to make do with my son's Finn McMissile toy car and my Apple iPad and iPhone.

Check out the setup shot in the first comment.

Strobist: I used the iHandy Flashlight app on my Apple iPad to make the screen go pure white. I raised the brightness to full strength. The ipad is raised above the car by 4 drinking cups. My second light was an iPhone 4 with the same app also at full power to camera right for a little fill light.

Even at full power the iPad was not bright enough at f22. I had to use a tripod with a 3 second exposure.
