It’s square crop time. This is one of those compositions that just worked best that way. The remainder of the picture was just the left side of the front tank but I thought the square crop emphasized the lines and angles better. Or maybe I’m just seeing things.

Familiar forms
This shot is actually a pretty extreme crop from the original. I couldn’t get tight enough at the angle that I wanted so without the benefit of a super telephoto I had to “digitally” zoom. That being said, I think I’ll try another attempt at the shot at a later date to try some better compositions as I think the abstract qualities warrants that.
Plant life
It’s the weekend and viewership is usually down, so I’ll keep the chit-chat to a minimum. This shot is simply of two large leaves, taken near sunset at a nearby park. I kind of like the color contrasts between them and the warm lighting. My one regret though was that I didn’t drag out the tripod and shoot it at a lower…
It’s a mind thing
First, I’ll start off with a totally original photo, that no one else has attempted before – the “seagull on a post” pic! 🙂 As you can tell by my sarcasm with the accompanying photo, I haven’t been thrilled with my output as of late. Sure I have been through some growing pains experimenting with new gear, trying to find a balance…
Feeling nautical
Since I have a few days of from work, my wife and I took a quick drive “up” north to Lake Erie. We basically just went for the night to get out of town. Sitting on the dock and watching the sunset as sailboats went by was a little more relaxing than listening to trucks and three-color Cavaliers driving past…
No photo blues
It’s been so long since I posted anything and yet I still don’t have any new worthy pics! Sure, I’ve been taking some photos but they have been more along the lines of gear testing photos which are painfully boring since they are mainly for analysis. But one of my test shots is unlike all of the others…..it moves! That’s…
Keeping it yellow
May as well stay with a theme. No textures this time though. Taken in a bank parking lot.
Some weekend art experiments
I’m just kind of sticking around the house this weekend, even though there are some cool events happening nearby that would be fun to see, like the Pittsburgh Blues Festival and the Vintage Grand Prix. Perhaps next year when my house is situated a little better. For now I have other things to focus on. That doesn’t mean I am not…
Something got wet
As dry as it has been, at least the corn got some rain yesterday and today. Unfortunately the rain came in the form of heavy storms which causes problems more than it helps any drought situations. As an example, I was driving through the hills of West Virginia yesterday and had to turn around multiple times due to flash flooding. A tough…
Something normal in Pittsburgh
On Saturday evening my wife and I found ourselves close enough to Pittsburgh for me to try to get a shot of the city at dusk. It was a beautiful evening and I thought, after looking at the sky, that I would get some interesting clouds in the background and that it may be worth a shot. Well by the time…
