I hope everyone is having a happy Thanksgiving in the USA. As promised, I’ll be short today with the text. These are just a couple shots I took while running to the store this morning (I seem to be always running to the store on Thanksgiving). They are very dissimilar photos but the common thread, of course, is the color red.…

365-327 ’tis the season
The last time my blog was featured in Freshly Pressed, I didn’t have a photo yet for the day after I realized I was getting lots of exposure. I felt pressured to give the new visitors something worthy to view. I think I did OK at that time and eventually things settled back to normal. Well I’ve been featured again…
365-326 Wet and wild
Wild color that is. Another one of my “shoot through a rainy window” photos. This is a roll of color coded conduit or fiber optic cable at a construction area. I didn’t have to work today because of the rain yet I still ended up taking a construction photo! In this case the “construction site” is a large office/manufacturing/retail/golfing/dining/etc. complex that is…
365-325 Can’t be satisfied
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.

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…
