All I keep seeing is yellow flowers everywhere. They are nice and everything but some color variation would be pleasant on occasion. But I guess I can’t ask for much this time of year. That being said, I may as well take advantage of them and do a few “summery” shots before everything turns brown. I decided to do some experimenting with in…

365-254 Compression
My one day off today and I had a zillion things to do, so I’ll be short tonight. This is just a simple telephoto compression shot of some downtown buildings. I originally liked it in color due to the various paint colors and details but as soon as I tried a black and white conversion I was instantly drawn to…
365-253 Is that a rock?
Driving down a dirt road in a landfill this foggy morning I spotted this little guy walking in front of me. I grabbed my camera to take a quick pic but he was pretty shy and quickly hid inside his shell. So I waited and every time I would try to get a photo he closed up. My brain seems…
365-252 Go for the worst
Back in West Virginia today. I found this new crop of yellow flowers and thought they looked nice. I took a lot of photos but none of them really popped for me. I’ve grown a little weary of the yellow against green color scheme and I had that in abundance in these shots. Just ho-hum. Then I discovered a little…
365-251 Some things old
I just found myself shooting a bunch of old things today. Besides the door, which is I saw in an urban environment, everything else was taken at an outdoor display area at a local antique store. the store was closed and the items were behind a locked fence so getting any kind of composition was difficult at best. I stuck…
365-250 And so it goes
Sigh, these low uncreative periods are tough to weather through. Maybe not so much for you, the viewer, but I find them rough. I like when I have ideas in my head of where to go, what to shoot, and how to shoot it. Life is good then, photographically speaking. But in times like this I am like a zombie, walking…
365-249 Time for a new camera?
Found myself in Wheeling again today to take care of some business. It was yet another constant rainy day. I took a few shots around the streets but I wasn’t really liking anything I was seeing. I don’t know, just a creative low I guess. Maybe it’s the weather. Yeah, that’s it! The weather! Okay, okay I know the final…
365-248 I’m surprised I am awake
Did you ever have one of those days where you just feel sleepy all day? Today is one of days for me. A holiday, constant heavy rain, cooler temperatures and dark and gloomy. I slept in this morning so I should be well rested but I’m just feeling sluggish. On days like this when you have things to do it’s…
365-247 Ain’t no sunshine
A cloudy and occasionally rainy day in contrast to yesterday. It was still overly humid though. But I did find some sunshine in this crop of sunflowers. This is the same place I shot the “Chicken People” image earlier in the year. I also played around with a few texture images. It’s still a holiday weekend so I’m keeping the…
365-246 Urban shots on a hot day
Yikes, it was around 100ºF outside today. I started the day trying to relax and doing a little shopping and lunch with my wife. After a late lunch, since we were in the area, I thought to take a quick ride through the Oakland area of Pittsburgh. Home of Schenley Park, Carnegie Museum and Library, Carnegie-Mellon University and the University of…
