Wolverine emerges from the flames, triumphant! He has battled with his mutant enemies and strikes fear in all who cross him!
It's cold and gloomy today, so we built a fire. I had been attempting a Pez portrait earlier that I had abandoned because it looked really lame. But my giant box of Pez dispensers was off its high shelf in the closet so a new idea was born - Pez meets the flames of El Monte! I tried the Hulk, but he looked kind of stupid. Wolverine was the best.
I shot this with my Nikon D70s, a 210mm lens (I really love this 70-210 lens. Thanks for the
recommendation, John!). I turned off the flash and opened the curtains enough so Wolverine's face was lit. I tried it with no fill light at all, and like the silhouette action.

Wolverine rocks.

Too bad there isn’t a Trogdor Pez dispenser.
Nice shot

[...] Straight from the house of the Wolverine comes the next photo challenge. 10 Numbers! Yes, it sounds like one of these fancy schmancy AJAXy Web 2.0 thing-a-ma-websites, but you’d be amiss to think it so. No, 10 Numbers is the next DP Blogs photo challenge and it’s going to be a doozy. Stephanie has all the info at her project page. The purpose of this challenge is to see things in the world around us in a slightly different way. Here’s the project. Shoot things that look like the numbers 1 through 10, using found objects, shapes, people you see, etc.. Now, this doesn’t mean you should go to 10th street, take a picture of a 10 and post it. Instead, take a shot of a squash that looks like a 7 or a shot of a hose on your neighbor’s yard that looks like a 9. You don’t have to post the numbers in order, so if you find a great 4, post it. But you need to find all ten numbers over the course of the month. [...]
