Yes, you read that right, an all-reclusive vacation. Considering I have been sick the last four days my vacation week turned out to be a dud. Oh well, there’s really not much I can do about that, I guess. I’ll just have to move on and go about my daily duties on Monday and try not to look back too much.…
Scenes from a vantage point
First of all, my anti-virus software tried to stop me from entering my own site. It said it had reported malicious content! That’s something I need to look into. Has anyone had a problem when coming here? These are a few scenes from a vantage point along the river across from Pittsburgh. I saw some great light the other evening and wanted…
If you don’t have anything nice to say…
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…
