I decided to let the other county fair photos that I mentioned in the last post let lay on the cutting room floor for now. I wasn’t getting much out of them so it’s best to leave them in hiding for now. I may revisit them at a later date, just to double-check if I like them. There is nothing…

And so it’s over
The county fair that is. As promised in my last post I said I was going to shoot some photos at the county fair after it was over. It was, thankfully, another beautiful summer day and, although a bit hot walking around, I found the grounds to be a lot drier than they have been in the previous years. No slogging…
It’s just so vivid!
As someone who likes to work in black and white most of the time, I have a slight problem when it comes to shooting color. When I have photos where the subjects are all “colorful” I tend to take it to the extremes. I really want to jazz up the saturation, contrast, and vibrance to really make it COLORFUL. Of course I do…
A quick checkup on the creepy factor
I had this post in draft for almost a week and couldn’t think of anything to say to add to the photo, so I just let it linger there for a while until I came up with something. Anything. Since it’s been a week and I had no creative writing juices flowing, I’ll just have to put up something. I took this photo…
Urban verticals
Finally, I was able to walk about and take some photos the other evening. It felt good to just “focus” on taking photos as I walked around the city of Pittsburgh on a beautiful summer evening. The sole purpose, besides taking photos, was to get the feel for my Fujifilm camera. I have been casually taking photos with it since…
And it keeps going
So, I have been thinking of branching off into a new blog with more emphasis on specific gear. It’s going on five years for Whatipic and I’m kind of feeling like it’s time to try something different. How I am going to go about it, I don’t quite know yet. I may keep this blog going and just do the…
A first for Whatipic
This photo was transfered from my Fujifilm camera to my phone via wifi and, in turn, to my blog. I know it’s sort of old tech (old tech, of course, means over a year old), but it’s a first for me. I also rarely post unedited photos, usually prefering to shoot RAW, but this is the jpeg straight from the…
Mouintains or the beach?
No, I’m not asking where I should go on vacation, I’m wondering which one would have made a better foreground for a dramatic rainbow photo. But. since I was around neither, I have a nice rainbow over a pizza shop photo! They always say the best camera is the one you have with you, so I’m going to say the…
Sorry for the long awkward pause.
Whew, I cant believe how long it has been since I last posted. I know why I haven’t posted but, man, does time fly. While time was flying by I really haven’t been doing much photography to speak of. A few grab shots here and there and a few test shots for new equipment that are totally boring, even for me. I…
Getting to the Point in Pittsburgh
Trying to get my sea legs back and get out there to start shooting again. It’s amazing how rusty one can get being away from something too long. I know I need to brush up on my compositional skills a little, especially when shooting in wide angle, so I purposely sought out lines to practice with. I figured a nice walk…
