I am posting two different pictures today. They both were taken in Charleston. I saw the car when I was walking down the sidewalk but I only had my 50mm Super-Takumar with me. I took some detail shots and I wanted an overall photo but with my back against a building I couldn’t quite get it all to fit. I…

365-201 Now where’s that mouse
I am out of town for a couple of days and trying to do my photo editing as I go. The problem today was after getting back late to my hotel to work on a few photos I realized I didn’t bring a mouse to use with my laptop. Trying to edit photos using that little pad thingy is a lesson in…
365-200 One mans treasure
Whoa..200th photo! Although my 365 project is pushing me to new heights (and lows), I really can’t wait until it’s over, at least from my blog perspective. I feel like I am punishing my subscribers with daily emails about my posts of questionable interest. Next year I will only post on occasion when I have a nice selection of very…
365-199 Wetlands by the mall
Wetlands. Swamp. Whatever. I took these photos on the edge of a mall parking lot while waiting for my truck being repaired. I don’t really have much else to add. All with Pentax K20D and Super-Takumar 50mm. Simple as that! Enjoy. Click on pics for larger view Grass
365-198 A Volvo P1800E
It’s still the weekend so I’ll just focus on one subject today. I spotted an old Volvo P1800 in a dealers lot the other day and today I thought I would try to get a few shots of it. I just stuck with my DA 17-70 lens with a polarizer on my Pentax K20D and walked around the car. I focused on details…
365-197 It’s the weekend
On weekends I notice that viewership is down. Let me rephrase that…not down, more like none. That’s fine, I understand. If I had a life (or a job) I probably wouldn’t think of swinging by here on my days off, unless the weather was lousy. And speaking of weather, today was a beautiful day so I acted like it was a…
365-196 Why I am not a landscape photographer
I didn’t get around to taking any photos until late tonight because I didn’t have a camera with me while I was out earlier. Since it was near dark when I went to get a shot I thought an evening sky reflecting in the lake would be nice for a change. There were enough clouds in the sky to make it…
365-195 Another visit to the fairgrounds
I thought I would visit the local fairgrounds again today. I was able to explore a little before preparations begin for the annual county fair next month. I decided to only use my Super-Takumar 50mm lens on my Pentax K20D. I am also still experimenting with Nik Color Efex so I am using it often before the trial runs out. Enjoy! Click on…
365-194 All seriousness aside
Normally I don’t like to take the “I ate this” type of food shots for my 365, but there’s always an exception. Who can resist a cool creamy treat on a summer day? This is a banana ice with vanilla custard from Rita’s. Photo shot with Pentax K20D and DA17-70. I took this wide open at f4.0 to show how well this lens…
365-193 At the waters edge
I waited until evening to take some photos today. I thought I would stop by a local lake that is a popular fishing area. I experimented with moving camera, slow shutter techniques and even did a few straightforward sunset shots. Most of my photo attempts were unsuccessful but I walked away with a few keepers. I am also trying a…
