CI: Powerwalking

© Lani Kai

Trypto: I like how in street crossing signs
Trypto: the dude is always powerwalking
Lani Kai: haha
Trypto: no one actually has their elbows at that angle when they're just walking normally
Lani Kai: that's true
Trypto: of course, no one actually has circular heads either

C: Especially Disturbing

Trypto: 1 second exposure, from the car
Lani Kai: looks like depressed snakes crawling across
Lani Kai: their heads are drooped down
Trypto: imagine if you were on life support and your heart monitor looked like that
Trypto: those gaps where it's completely blank would be especially disturbing, I think

XCIX: Apples

Trypto: it said it was scented, but I got it at the dollar store
Trypto: and I can't smell anything
Lani Kai: what was it SUPPOSED to smell like?
Trypto: green apples

XCVIII: Rorschach Test

© Lani Kai

Trypto: I see a jellyfish in the clouds
Trypto: and the millenium falcon, from Star Wars
Lani Kai: I see a dachshund and a mite
Lani Kai: or maybe it's a wasp

XCVII: Focused

Trypto: he is on my debate team
Lani Kai: when was the last time we posted a picture of a person?
Trypto: there are people in your post on the 18th

...

Trypto: the autofocus worked pretty well in this case
Lani Kai: I assume there's center point AF and multi-point AF
Trypto: I don't really know how to control it

XCVI: Hide and Seek

Trypto: I think some croppage is in order
Trypto: I like how the bike is hiding behind the tree
Lani Kai: yeah
Trypto: it reminds of shy little kids who cling to their moms when strangers are around

...

Trypto: I think on the the right side would probably be best
Trypto: you get the dynamism of an assymetrical composition, and the shadows
Lani Kai: generally the rule of thumb is to leave more space open in the direction in which the subject is facing
Trypto: maybe you should ask for a second opinion

...

Wisp: too much open space in the one with the bike on the left
Wisp: the parallel diagonal shadows are also a nice effect

XCV: A Room With a View

Lani Kai: ooh, shiny buildings
Trypto: as seen from the fifth floor of the hilton
Trypto: one of my teammates spit on someone's head from the balcony
Lani Kai: haha

XCIV: Type-R

Lani Kai: my MiniDisc player is a "Type-R," so it must have a turbo charger or VTEC or something
Lani Kai: I don't see any iPods with that...

...

Trypto: what does the R in type R stand for?
Lani Kai: well, in cars it usually means "racing" or something like that
Lani Kai: I have no idea what it means on my MD player
Lani Kai: but then again grade names for cars don't always make sense either

XCIII: Power

© Lani Kai

Lani Kai: it's not every day you see a car literally worth a million dollars...
Lani Kai: 400 of these were built, the last of which was presented to Pope John Paul II
Lani Kai: it's even rarer that you see these two next to eachother
Lani Kai: they combine for 1,254bhp and 11.7 liters of engine displacement... and something like $1.5 million

...

Trypto: did ferrari ask the pope if he wanted a sports car before they gave it to him?
Trypto: I can't really imagine him in that thing
Lani Kai: no, donating something like that to the pope is like donating something to charity; the recipient doesn't actually use it
Lani Kai: the pope subsequently auctioned it for charitable causes
Lani Kai: the pope rides in a popemobile

XCII: Bokeh

© Lani Kai

Lani Kai: Bokeh (from the Japanese boke ぼけ, "blur") is a photographic term describing the subjective aesthetic qualities of out-of-focus areas in an image produced by a camera lens.¹
Lani Kai: the post below this is another good example
Lani Kai: in other news, my co-blogger is MIA today

XCI: Voyeur

© Lani Kai

Trypto: how do you take a picture of a camera?
Lani Kai: I have 2 cameras
Trypto: cute
Trypto: I bet they have crazy camera sex when you aren't looking
Lani Kai: I wouldn't know, because I'm not looking
Trypto: you need to get another camera, who will be the creepy voyeuristic neighbor and take compromising polaroids
Lani Kai: I also have a film camera
Lani Kai: maybe it's been doing that

XC: Red

Trypto: I have over 30 red pens
Lani Kai: why so many?
Trypto: I bought a bunch so I could smash them with a hammer

LXXXIX: ESPN2

© Lani Kai

Trypto: nice photo
Trypto: just like out of ESPN2
Lani Kai: the player in front of the goalie is probably blocking a shot
Lani Kai: and the guy in the white in the background is probably waiting for a rebound
Lani Kai: the other guy... looks like he's just standing there

Lani Kai: I like the effect

Trypto: no, I don't really have anything
Trypto: no, I don't really have anything
Lani Kai: let me guess
Lani Kai: you don't really have anything
Trypto: omg, AIM wouldn't let me type
Trypto: but no, I don't have anything to post
Lani Kai: it wouldn't let you type anything other than "no, I don't really have anything"?
Trypto: oh, that showed up?

LXXXVI: Ecstasy

Lani Kai: some things are best viewed at a distance
Trypto: yeah, those dolphins are getting it on
Trypto: look at the bottom one
Trypto: he has his tongue sticking out in ecstasy
Lani Kai: I was actually referring to all the discoloration that's resulted from bird droppings and water
Lani Kai: anyway I'm not exactly sure what that is but the top one has it as well if you look closely
Trypto: maybe they used to be part of a fountain

Lani Kai: it was installed to replace the plutonium drive
Trypto: I didn't really like Back to the Future II
Trypto: or III...

Lani Kai: that was kind of cool
Trypto: I see a lion in the picture I took today
Trypto: and a snake coming up under it about to bite off his naughty bits
