365-137 Chasing pavement

This parking lot is near a bank I use. It belongs to a once thriving steel mill that was a major employer in town. It has long been closed although a steel company owns it and I think a few people work there to a degree. Probably just used as a warehouse or something. There once were a few thriving…

365-121 Once more with feeling

OK, I know I said I wouldn’t do any more blossom photos and I certainly didn’t plan on any. I went to try the abstract I mentioned yesterday and I still couldn’t get a good shot. The weather has been so lousy lately – almost constant rain and clouds. I just can’t get a fast enough shutter speed to shoot my…

Additional photos from Oglebay Park

Just a few extra photos from visiting Oglebay Park yesterday. Like I said earlier, I think I have enough flower shots for a while. I’m going to try to get back to normal.  Enjoy!!

A little nutty squirrel fun

I took a few shots of the squirrel from yesterday and thought I would throw a couple together for a little animation. Nothing serious going on here! Enjoy! Squirrelly

365-106 When there’s nothing to shoot…

…you shoot nothing.  The lighting this afternoon was incredible. After the rain cleared there were still dramatic clouds and coupled with the late afternoon sun it was simply beautiful. That would all be cool if I lived in the shadows of a nice mountain range or the desert southwest and I could capture some sweeping landscape shot. Instead I was…

New theme

I was having display problems with my blogs last theme so I decided to change it. I liked the look of “Spectrum”, the last theme but it just wasn’t working for me. I like the layout of this theme, “Koi”, but not real thrilled with the illustrations. It looks a little feminine, but if it works for me that’s all…

Still posting every day in 2011

I don’t know how long I’ll be able to keep it up but so far, since starting my blog, I’ve been successful. Of course I am posting my 365 photos everyday and that has been fun. I appreciate every visit and hope I inspire others with my work. Therefore I’m promising to make use of  The DailyPost, and the community…

365-26 – Snow day at the cemetery

A nice snowy day today. I thought I would try to get some nature photos for a change. I didn’t want to venture too far out of town. So, where to go?  The local park? Not a chance. The park in this town is a scraggly, hilly, unkempt mess with bad roads. Instead I went to the large cemetery nearby…

365-22

I wasn’t really inspired by anything today. I think I’m going to have few days like this through the year.  Took a drive around town but nothing jumped out at me. So I sat for a while looking at the buildings and I liked the shadows on these buildings. A basic black and white architectural detail study. PSE6 with Nik Silver Efex conversion.…

365-21

The photo pretty much sums up the day. Winter is still here. I don’t think I have ever taken so many ice pictures as I have this month.  Pentax K20D, DA17-70 Frozen Ford
