I had to work on a project today that required me to drive through the city. Since Pittsburgh does not have a beltway highway system, to get from one side to the other you have to either drive through the city or through crowded suburban roads. I haven’t done this commute in quite some time since most of my work…

365-285 Zzzz
Back home again. It’s been a long day with work and traveling so I’m just going to post and run tonight. I’ll leave you with some autumn reflections. Pentax K20D, DA17-70. Edit: Looking at the photo today after getting some sleep, I think I need to tone down the saturation a bit. That blue is a little too bold. Note…
365-284 The stumbler
Hmm, this scenario has been happening a lot lately: I’m driving down an unfamiliar road looking for photo subjects. I then come to the conclusion that I’m going the wrong way, or not getting anywhere I want, or there isn’t anything of interest to shoot and decide to turn around at the first empty lot. When I turn into the…
365-283 Laptop visions
I’m back in the Charleston, WV area again for a few days. That means I’m working off of my laptop which isn’t my favorite place to process photos. But I’ll give it a good try. I took a wide variety of photos today, none of which truly excite me. That’s fine though because I did scout out a few potential shots for…
365-282 Too much time
It seems to me on days that my time for photography is limited I end up doing some of my more creative work. The past few days I have had personal time to do some photography but I just couldn’t seem to get the creative juices flowing. I don’t know, maybe my brain just needs a little down time or something.…
365-281 Traffic
If there is a word that describes today, it would have to be traffic. There seemed to be heavy traffic everywhere today. Just getting around, anywhere, was a chore. My wife and I left the house late in the afternoon and I thought we would go into Oakland area of Pittsburgh to try to some architecture photos. Unfortunately on our way…
365-280 October
I may as well stick to the seasonal theme today. October, fall, Halloween, or harvest – either way the overwhelming color is orange. Pumpkins, leaves, and sunsets all add to the “orangeness” of the season. I shot this dew covered spiderweb this morning and I originally thought to do a black and white image but, after a little experimentation, decided to…
365-279 Nothing really
I took a few sunrise photos this morning. I thought they looked good on the camera but after I viewed them on my monitor they just didn’t work for me. That happens. But I was intrigued by these dew covered twigs I captured. Just a grab shot really. They were backlit by the early sunrise. I’m glad I shot them as…
365-278 Blue skies and sunshine
A nice clear day is a welcome change around here since it has been practically raining or cloudy for the past week or so. Unfortunately a nice clear day isn’t good for my photography since I often have to shoot during midday, due to my work schedule. On dark cloudy days the lighting is even and soft. On clear sunny days the…
365-277 Reflecting time
I’ll keep the chatter to a minimum today because I just want to take a break. I really need to do some adjustments on my guitars and change some strings. Plus just working on some songs and relaxing. I also want to visit a few sites of the fellow bloggers who stopped by here. So I’ll leave you with a…
