As I mentioned in a previous post, I have been looking for a smaller travel camera that can still deliver quality photos, and I’ve thought of trying the Olympus E-PM1. I have used one before and have published photos here that I thought looked pretty good. I still need to make some large prints to see how they look but,…

Back to the blues
I don’t have a whole lot to say about this photo. It’s just one of those things you spot while you’re out and about and think that it may be worth getting a shot of. One of those things that just catches your eye, for some reason. The reason here, of course, is the abundance of blue. Plus the fact…
I forgot about this one
I was talking about taking the tulip photos in the last post and I forgot that I also shot some magnolia blossoms. I think they are my favorite spring blossom, mainly because they are so huge and I like the way that the petals fall in different directions. From a photographic standpoint you can get a nice variety of blossoms…
Pretty just didn’t work
I took photos of some tulips the other day and, although they are pretty, they look like every other tulip photo I have taken. Or every one that everyone else has taken also. I was still in the early spring mood and thought some nice colorful flowers would be nice to feature here. After uploading to my PC and viewing…
A spring tree
I was sitting at a stop light and noticed this large pink tree in someones yard. I had my camera in the truck and snapped a photo before moving on. I really like the spring blossoms and all of the colors of the spring season. I think it would be cool if some trees were as colorful all of the…
Small signs of spring (No blues for the blues)
Considering this is the middle of March in Pennsylvania, the weather has been incredibly warm the past week. The forecast for the next week calls for more of the same, so one can’t help but think spring. Even though it technically becomes spring this week, I just hope nothing happens, like a freak snowstorm in April, to destroy the mood. One…
Got wood?
A couple of earthy, woody shots for today. I don’t think I’ll win any composition awards with these but I liked the general warmth of the photos. I processed the photos with a warming filter, which basically steers the color balance towards yellow. It’s a bit of an extreme shift, and one that wouldn’t work well in a lot of situations, but I think it…
Spring color…..(sort of)
Considering the mild winter we had and the warm temperatures forecasted for the coming week, one can’t help but think of spring. But no matter how warm and sunny, we won’t see much spring color around here for at least another month or two. It starts with the grass getting greener, then the flowers and blossoms start blooming and finally…
That’s amore
“When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie…” I was looking through some of my archives to see what kind of shots I was taking last year at this time, just trying to compare the weather and such, when I came across this photo. This was taken when, I believe, the moon was supposed to be closest…
Black and white(house)
I’m posting this photo mainly to keep this site relevant and up to date. My photography has been painfully lapse the past few months and I find myself with the flu again this weekend. The third time I’ve been sick this year! Considering I could probably count how many times I’ve been this sick in the past say, ten years, on…
