This is a rose at my neighbor’s house. It’s the last one remaining of the season, still hanging in there. I didn’t want such a tight crop but there were too many distractions in the background which wouldn’t have helped the photo any. So I went with a close-up and add a few textures in post. I compared the straight and…

365-324 True grit
Just a few more jobsite photos today. I haven’t been able to get out and shoot much lately so these will have to suffice. I will be able to move around a bit more in the coming week, so that should help the photo diversity some. Other than that, I don’t have much else to say today. Until tomorrow. Pentax K20D, DA18-135 Valve
365-323 It’s about color
I’ve been working on a project and literally stuck in one place the past few days, from dark to dark. With the exception of lunch break, I don’t really have the opportunity to stray too far so I’m doing my best to come up with something interesting. The one highlight is that I’m on top of a hill with a nice view…
365-322 Well, there was this cat
My 365 shot for today is a closeup of a painted bolt. I went with this photo because I haven’t had very many abstract photos lately. Plus it’s orange! I’ve been kind of focusing on general scenes and nature in recent weeks and not focusing on any details, so I thought it would be a nice diversion. Pentax K20D, DA18-135. Orange…
365-321 Like a Lomo
I’m still continuing my lens testing and some processing experiments. I had to work today so my subjects were limited to the job site. Fortunately, I was high on a hill and had a nice panoramic view of the surrounding country. Unfortunately, it was extremely cold and windy with some blowing snow! But I did manage to grab a few…
365-320 When it’s still raining…
…stay home. I received a lens today that I’m going to give a try. A Pentax DA 18-135 WR lens. My DA 17-70 has had the focus lock issues at the telephoto end and I’m finally getting tired of dealing with it. So I’ll try this lens to see if it works for me and then decide if I want to…
365-319 When it rains….
…I head back home. This crazy wet weather is really delaying the project I am on for work and making my schedule go haywire. I got to work yesterday but it’s raining again for the next two days so I headed back home again. That’s a lot of highway time. Before I headed out of West Virginia, I tried to…
365-318 Early bird
No worms but I did manage to find a photo relatively early today. I was traveling on the highway again and stopped at a rest area. As soon as I parked I spotted a truck driver sitting on a bench with his traveling companion on his shoulder. I don’t usually find colorful birds at the rest areas so I asked…
365-317 Did I say that?
I know I said I was done with any autumn nature photos but these were the only photos I shot today that I kind of liked. My 365 photo is a detail of some plants near a bank I use. They were practically colorless and wilted, ready for winter. Just perfect, in my opinion. The other photo is from the local cemetery.…
365-316 Los cincuenta finales
The beginning of the end of my 365 project – the first of the final fifty images. It’s been fun but I can’t wait to take a break. Oh, I’ll keep shooting and posting, but probably closer to a few times a week, mostly if I have interesting images or stories. And I’ll keep dragging my camera around and trying…
