365-150 Total originality
Lets see..Memorial Day holiday…American flag…may as well go with the standard title too. Well at least I found an old flag, this one flying in front of some type of arts and craft store that was closed. I shot it backlit by the sun somewhat using my Super-Takumar 50mm at f/2.8. I used the Tak thinking I could blur out…
365-149 It’s a holiday weekend…
….in the USA, at least. So I figured I wouldn’t get many views today. That’s fine because I had a lot to do today and none of it had anything to do with photography. By the time I was done it was near dark and I thought I would try to find something to shoot for my 365. Armed with my newly…
365-148 Speaking of crows
I took a very nice picture of my neighbors roses today. My thought was to use it for my 365 shot. That was until I parked my truck in a shopping center parking lot next to someones half eaten burrito. There were some small birds munching on a tortilla chip, which was amusing enough, but they soon got chased away…
365-147 Scary scarecrows
Well since few people seemed interested in my cat pictures 😉 yesterday , I’ll try something a little more funky today. In the midst of an affluent suburban area and across the street from a major shopping mall is a farm. I’ve taken a few pictures there before over the winter. The scarecrows were a bride and groom but driving by today I…
365-146 Stray cat strut
Besides a cool song that I like to play on guitar, it’s also what I discovered today. My wife and I were driving by the county fairgrounds when she asked if I ever looked around them for any pictures. I thought about it in the past but never drove onto the grounds. There is, of course, no fair going on right…
365-145 From color to not
It’s late, so not much to say today. I took a quick spin a little outside of town to a small village that has some older homes and historic buildings. Mostly just a few antique and gift shops. Arches © David Guidas
365-144 And some extras from yesterday
First my 365 shot. I didn’t have my shot in until late today. I stopped in a Guitar Center store to check out some gear this evening while my wife went to another store. Not so much shopping, just seeing what was out there. The visit just reconfirmed what I already knew – my guitars are pretty nice and I haven’t…
365-143 Tunnel vision
Got to kick around Pittsburgh this evening. I actually managed some twilight shots – something I don’t get to do very often. I liked this shot of the walkway because of the mixed lighting which created the greenish light inside the tunnel. Pentax K20D, DA17-70. I’ll throw a couple more shots up tomorrow. Green Way
365-142 Have a seat
County seat that is. I didn’t have much to shoot today. Didn’t really try. So when I was driving through town I thought I would see if there was anything interesting. I liked how the metallic signs on the courthouse doors were almost glowing and, it being Sunday, the streets and sidewalks were deserted. A simple straightforward shot of the front…
