It just rained and rained today so I didn’t feel like taking any outdoor photos. Plus I had a training event at “work” that took until after dark so I snapped a shot in the parking garage on my way out. Sorry. Parking Garage

365-101 How green is my grass
We had a morning rain and since I have some things to do later and won’t be able to go out shooting, I thought I would try some macro shots in my yard using my reversed Super-Takumar lenses. This particular shot was done with my 28mm Tak at around F5.6. Trying to shoot raindrops on grass is a little tricky when…
365-100 Safari adventures
A few animal shots for today. I was driving along a rural road and spotted some ostriches in a field. I guess in some places that wouldn’t be unusual but in Pennsylvania, it’s not something you come across very often. They obviously belonged to someone and if I would have seen anyone around I would have asked if I could take…
365-99 Some like it hot
I’ll keep the description short today. I was thinking of just getting a picture around the house for my 365 today but after looking around, I thought maybe I should take a quick drive to see if there’s anything to shoot. Heading out in a different direction than I normally would, I saw some smoke as I was driving down the…
365-98 Takin’ it to the streets
Through some comments I’ve had with Nathan Stitt about street photography and a recent discovery of the work of John Angulat, I have a renewed interest in that style of photography. I’ll be the first one to admit that I am not a street photographer. First of all, I don’t live in a large city where most really cool street…
365-97 I prefer to be artsier
My last few photos have been a little dull and gloomy, so I’m going the traditional spring flowers route for a slight change. These are pretty straightforward shots of pretty ordinary flowers so I apologize for that. I like to take my time when shooting flowers to come up with an artful approach to the shot. These were shot at…
365-96 The park was so ugly yesterday…
…I decided to drive through the cemetery again. I think I saw more signs of life there ;-). I mean there were more people, some just out for a walk, some doing cemetery things, and there were a few buds in the trees. So it was a little nicer than the park was. I took some pictures of a few…
365-95 I drove through the park….
… hoping, MAYBE, that there would be some sign of spring, but it looked like February without the snow. No buds, no leaves, mud, dead grass…..aaargh! The other night I was looking in some of my photo files from last year at this same week and there are pictures that I took in the park that show spring blossoms and bright green grass. It’s crazy how…
365-94 Have you ever seen the rain?
My wife and I were in a strip mall parking lot and had to wait out a heavy rainstorm while sitting in my truck. Well, we didn’t really have to wait it out because we had nothing we needed to do anyhow ;-). But I didn’t feel like driving through the thunderstorm, so we hung out and enjoyed a Starbucks. While waiting, I looked…
365-93 I really need to get out more
Spring is taking an incredibly long time to get here this year. There’s still no signs of buds or leaves on the trees, the temperatures are staying below normal, and everything still looks dull and wintry. I’d love to get out and about more but it just feels blah around here. Since I’m in a blah mood, I figured the best place…
