365-209 Horses, of course

I came out of my hotel this morning and saw these guys waiting in a trailer in the parking lot. It looked a little cramped in there,  I hope they had a good nights rest also.  Afterwards, before I set out, I discovered I had a half flat tire on my truck. A good way to start the day. But,…

365-208 Finally, an old car!

So here I am in the hills of West Virginia this week and I thought for sure I would easily be able to get a picture of an old abandoned car or truck sitting in a field. Instead everything is kind of neat and tidy, Granted I am in the state capital area and trying not to stray too far…

365-206 Stranger in a strange land

So I am working out of town for a few more days and I’m having a tough time with my photography. I don’t know what it is but I’m not really happy with the direction it has been going the last few days (weeks?). I thought it would help being in a different city but so far it has been a…

365-205 Still in B&W

The past few days I have been liking the black and white versions of my 365 photos better than the color. I try to like color in most of my shots but if the color isn’t really a main component to the image, I feel that black and white enhances the elements of the photo better, especially when it comes…

365-204 A humanoid day

So I was driving through town and spotted yet another protest dummy sitting on a wall. This time at the local newspaper office. I shot a portion of a dummy before (365-164) at another location but I couldn’t figure out  what the purpose was. Well today I discovered, from what I read on the dummy,  it is an anti smoking demonstration.…

365-202 A car in the capital

I am posting two different pictures today. They both were taken in Charleston. I saw the car when I was walking down the sidewalk but I only had my 50mm Super-Takumar with me. I took some detail shots and I wanted an overall photo but with my back against a building I couldn’t quite get it all to fit. I…

365-201 Now where’s that mouse

I am out of town for a couple of days and trying to do my photo editing as I go. The problem today was after getting back late to my hotel to work on a few photos I realized I didn’t bring a mouse to use with my laptop. Trying to edit photos using that little pad thingy is a lesson in…

365-199 Wetlands by the mall

Wetlands. Swamp. Whatever. I took these photos on the edge of a mall parking lot while waiting for my truck being repaired.  I don’t really have much else to add.  All with Pentax K20D and Super-Takumar 50mm. Simple as that! Enjoy. Click on pics for larger view Grass

365-198 A Volvo P1800E

It’s still the weekend so I’ll just focus on one subject today. I spotted an old Volvo P1800 in a dealers lot the other day and today I thought I would try to get a few shots of it. I just stuck with my DA 17-70 lens with a polarizer on my Pentax K20D and walked around the car. I focused on details…

365-197 It’s the weekend

On weekends I notice that viewership is down. Let me rephrase that…not down, more like none. That’s fine, I understand. If I had a life (or a job) I probably wouldn’t think of swinging by here on my days off, unless the weather was lousy. And speaking of weather, today was a beautiful day so I acted like it was a…
