Okay, it was dark already and I still hadn’t taken a picture for the day. While doing other things today, I just didn’t see any shots to take. Granted, I wasn’t looking too hard, so that may have been a factor. So, while I was at a shopping plaza in the evening, I spotted this cart against a post along…
365-65 Movin’ on
Number 65!! Only 300 more to go! 300?!! Yikes. Sticking around the house again today, which makes it tough to find photo subjects. I hope to get out and about more as the weather improves. I’m still layed off from my “normal” job, so I have plenty of time but no money. ;-( With gas prices rising, I have to…
New theme
I was having display problems with my blogs last theme so I decided to change it. I liked the look of “Spectrum”, the last theme but it just wasn’t working for me. I like the layout of this theme, “Koi”, but not real thrilled with the illustrations. It looks a little feminine, but if it works for me that’s all…
365-64 Wet stuff
Another rainy day. I don’t mind it though. A couple of days of rain followed by some sun and things start getting a little brighter and colorful and, hopefully, a little cleaner and all traces of winter are gone. Rainy days do present some nice photo opportunities, IF you are somewhere where such opportunities exist. I would liked to have taken…
365-63 Guitars and photography
I started this blog hoping I would talk about photography and guitars, the two things I enjoy. Well, the photography part has become a little overwhelming, mostly because of my 365 shots. I would like to write about guitars more and hopefully I’ll be able to get back on that track. I’m just not that good of a writer, so…
365-62 Same place, different day
I’m in a bit of a creative funk right now. Both artistically and technically. I’m just not finding shots that work and the few that I thought I would like suffered from bad technical skills. Mostly just too blurry from either camera shake or bad focusing. Some shots look good on the LCD but when I load them onto the…
365-61 Most interesting place in town
Took a drive through the cemetery, again, because there was absolutely NOTHING to shoot today, at least around where I live. Sure, it was a bright sunny day but that just highlighted how dirty and dull everything is this time of year. It says a lot about a place when the cemetery is the most interesting, photogenic place in town. …
365-60 Altered reality on a small scale
“Blessed are they who see beautiful things in humble places where other people see nothing.” – Camille Pissarro My shot for today is not an abstract macro flower shot, though that’s what it appears to be. It’s a glass of iced green tea with a lime. I shot with my reverse-mounted Super-Takumar 50mm. Light from the window backlit the tea and…
365-59 Bokeh, Topaz and Orton
Back to normal today, no more fun abstracts. My 365 shot is of some kind of pod on a tree next to my porch. There’s a busy street in the background so I used my Super-Takumar 50mm wide open at f/1.4 for limited depth. Due to the relatively boring subject, I decided to punch the color up a bit with Topaz…
365-58 A late one
12:02 AM. I guess I missed my post today by a few minutes. Well it’s late, so I’ll keep it short with a simple shot. Pentax K20D, DA17-70 White Wall Blue Sky Edited to add a shot from the other side:
