365-43 Duck pond revisited

Another visit to the pond in the local cemetery today. It’s always a good place to get a shot and there’s always ducks, geese, turkeys and deer roaming around. I stuck with the ducks today. I had to deal with some lens flare in this shot and the sun is a little brighter than I would like, but “work with…

365-42 Weathered surface

I didn’t get out to shoot much today. So, I thought I would shoot…..a brick. I have a pile of bricks in my yard and this one on top attracted my eye. I liked the holes and shadow. I used a touch of orton for effect but I have a straight version which I’ll throw on here along with a different angle.…

365-41 My daily and some observations

I was driving past the local college when I saw these chairs on the campus. It was under 20°F, so I’m not surprised that any students were taking advantage of them. It will still be a couple of months yet before they get regular use. I used my Pentax K20D and DA55-300 lens. As far as my 365 project is going, I…

365-40 Cold facts

So you’re probably thinking, “David, ice AGAIN?” It has been a prominent subject of mine this winter but it’s the one thing I see when I look around. I wonder if people who live near the beach in a warm climate get tired of palm trees, sand, and surf pictures. I somehow doubt it.  I actually wanted to try some processing options…

365-39 Kinetic star

A little sun for the day, in the form of a mobile hanging from my neighbor’s porch. It was snowing again today. Soon winter will be a distant memory and the sun in my pictures will be the real one. Processed with a touch of Topaz Adjust to punch up the color a bit. Pentax K20D, DA55-300 Going Mobile

365-38 British Steel

 When I was younger I was a big fan of small European cars. I owned a Triumph and a Fiat at one time. Big American cars and trucks were the norm where I lived. I certainly liked American cars, especially muscle cars, but I loved driving the Euros.  There is a “foreign” car parts dealer in an alley off of the main road in…

365-37 Big Fan

Since its Super Bowl Sunday, I thought I would do a theme shot for the day. Living near Pittsburgh, displays like this are not unusual. It doesn’t take being in the Super Bowl to find houses decorated with Steelers paraphernalia, sometimes even year round. Oh, and somebody needs to tell Wiz Khalifa it’s “black and gold” not “black and yellow”. This…

365-36 Spring availability?

While walking around my yard I spotted this birds nest in a small tree near my porch. I never noticed it before but, since this is February, I imagine it’s from last year. I’ll have to keep tabs on it as spring approaches. Shot with my Super-Takumar 28mm. Pentax K20D Empty Nest

365-35 Different color

Photo for today is a sunset, mostly because it’s a rare sight as of late. I feel warmer already. A pretty straightforward shot taken at a nearby farm. Pentax K20D, DA17-70 Sundown
