Simply bubbles in a bottle of Ajax dishwashing liquid. Shot with a reversed Super-Takumar 28mm. Everything worked against me in this shot – I was handholding, the light was low, the bubbles were moving and the plastic bottle distorted. After a few attempts I got a shot. I also did a blue-toned b&w version that I liked along with the original…

365-30 City homes
I didn’t spend too much time trying to shoot today. While driving through town, I spotted this old dilapidated house . A nice looking place that at one time, I imagine, was an attractive home. There’s a few houses like this around. I guess with the proper funds it could be restored to its former glory. Unfortunately the rest of the…
365-29 Made it to the porch
Sticking around the house today. I didn’t really feel like setting up a tripod to shoot something inside so I went out to the yard to see if I could find a shot. Lots of snow still around so most things are covered up. We have this straw broom on the porch and I like the texture of it. Since…
365-28 Winter is still here
Day 28 of my 365. I think I’m hanging in there. I know I haven’t taken so many photos of winter scenes in the past as I have this month. I thought I would stick with a simple composition today. I would have liked it if the horizon wasn’t in the middle as much but I didn’t have much choice…
365-27 Urban abstract
I thought I would go slightly abstract today. This door is on the second floor of a building in town. I tried for a different angle when shooting. Processed in PSE6 with Nik Silver Efex conversion and then I brought the blue of the glass back through. Shot with my Pentax K20D and DA17-70 Blue Glass Fall
365-26 – Snow day at the cemetery
A nice snowy day today. I thought I would try to get some nature photos for a change. I didn’t want to venture too far out of town. So, where to go? The local park? Not a chance. The park in this town is a scraggly, hilly, unkempt mess with bad roads. Instead I went to the large cemetery nearby…
365-25
Coming up with new ideas everyday is a challenge. Driving around aimlessly looking for photos can get tiring and expensive. So when I stay around the house, as today, I look around at really small things. Thanks to my wife for suggesting the peacock feather. Pentax K20D, reversed Super-Takumar 50mm Eyelight
Old Railroad Station
My 365 picture was taken at an old railroad station in town. I thought I would throw a few more shots up that I took there. I think it’s private property as it’s owned by the business next to it so I didn’t spend much time there. I used different post processing on these. All were taken with my Pentax…
365-24
There is an old railroad station in town that is pretty much intact even though it hasn’t been used as such for decades. The building is owned by a cement company which is adjacent to it. I think they just use it for storage. There has been talks that it should be used for something but that’s about how far…
365-23
I figured I would be watching a lot of football today (Go Steelers!) and wouldn’t have time to go out and shoot. So I shot around the house using my favorite “around the house” lens – my Super-Takumar 50mm. This was shot at F2 and processed in ACR to PSE6 with Topaz Adjust. Pentax K20D Stemware
