After work I took a drive through an urban area on the way back to my hotel. I visit this area a few times a week for photo subjects since it is easily accessible and in between work and my lodging. The actual business area is relatively small and there is a commercial strip on a busy road. But it’s the…

365-313 An Olympus in Huntington
I’m still away from home and I still have the Olympus E-PM1 with me so I may as well use it. I had a chance to swing through Huntington, WV today and I snapped a few photos while I was there. Literally snapping. I was in more of a snap shot mode just taking casual shots without much setup. Maybe…
365-312 Camera talk
Todays photo, taken right here in my hotel room, is the best I could do today. That says a lot. Just like reaching the end of the internet, I think I photographed everything around here! Okay, probably not, but I’m just not feeling it. I’m sure I’ll find something incredible tomorrow and today will be a distant memory. Hotel Shadows…
365-311 One more
I know I did the mid-autumn color post a few days ago but I couldn’t resist one more photo. This big leaf landed on this vine during it’s descent and was backlit by the late afternoon sun. It really glowed and easily caught my eye. Should be one of the last nature photos of any color that I take this year…
365-310 Sheesh
Today is a continuation of yesterday in a sense. This is my only day off before heading back out of town tomorrow for work, which means I constantly have to think of what I need to get done before I go. The time change always throws me off a little in the first place. Then I had to drive 30 miles to…
365-309 Whew!
I know what you are thinking……..”Dave, what’s up with the lame photo?” Well it’s been a long day. I had to work today and finish up (sort of) some testing and then I hit the road for the long trip home. Along the way, my truck started riding real rough. It took me a while to figure it out but I thought something…
Some Autumn Love
Once that initial blast of autumn color is over, it seems people forget about the nature part of fall. The rest of the season means football and the upcoming holidays. So I just wanted to show some love for the second month of autumn. These were all taken in a patch of woods with late afternoon sun backlighting the leaves. The photos are…
365-308 This one is like the other
I took a photo on the job site today that reminded me of the photo I had in my infamous Freshly Pressed post (365-271) of a compactor on a slope. They were both shot in similar situations of late afternoon sunlight and shooting towards the slope. That photo was in black and white and even though I think this photo…
365-307 Finding things
If you read past posts you’ll see that I often talk about going out and looking for a photo subject. In fact there have been very few times where I had a predetermined subject in mind for the day. Most days I’m out there seeing what I can find. Occasionally I’ll just bump into something, shoot it, and think, “hmm,…
365-306 Metal Fatigue
Just a nod to one of my favorite guitarists and albums: Allan Holdsworth Since I was a bit tired when I got off of work today, I wanted to find something to shoot on my way back to my hotel instead of going out later. The sun was about to set and the strong sidelight was great but in order to take advantage…
