I didn’t get around to taking any photos until late tonight because I didn’t have a camera with me while I was out earlier. Since it was near dark when I went to get a shot I thought an evening sky reflecting in the lake would be nice for a change. There were enough clouds in the sky to make it…

365-195 Another visit to the fairgrounds
I thought I would visit the local fairgrounds again today. I was able to explore a little before preparations begin for the annual county fair next month. I decided to only use my Super-Takumar 50mm lens on my Pentax K20D. I am also still experimenting with Nik Color Efex so I am using it often before the trial runs out. Enjoy! Click on…
365-194 All seriousness aside
Normally I don’t like to take the “I ate this” type of food shots for my 365, but there’s always an exception. Who can resist a cool creamy treat on a summer day? This is a banana ice with vanilla custard from Rita’s. Photo shot with Pentax K20D and DA17-70. I took this wide open at f4.0 to show how well this lens…
365-193 At the waters edge
I waited until evening to take some photos today. I thought I would stop by a local lake that is a popular fishing area. I experimented with moving camera, slow shutter techniques and even did a few straightforward sunset shots. Most of my photo attempts were unsuccessful but I walked away with a few keepers. I am also trying a…
365-192 Takumar at f1.4
I drove through the city park today right after a rain storm. It was a good time to be there as it was practically empty. The light level was still low so I thought I would shoot a few photos with my Super-Takumar 50mm wide open at f1.4. Too bad there isn’t any real subject matter there to take advantage of…
365-191 Hangin’ at the courthouse
Well I wasn’t really hanging out (although there are some questionable characters who do) but just stopped by for a few photos. Sundays are a nice time to check out some of the architecture around the downtown area because there are few people milling about. I thought I would go onto the steps of the courthouse and get a different…
365-190 Stone walled
Visited the cemetery again today because I was trying to find an animal to shoot. The animals in the cemetery are accessible since they are used to humans, which makes it somewhat easier to get photos. I wanted an animal to continue my intentional camera movement experiments and I wanted something else that was moving also. There were some geese at the…
365-189 Keep it rolling
I don’t know why I found yesterdays post still in the draft stage. I know I hit publish and I viewed the final post. Crazy. I couldn’t resist another slow shutter shot today. Actually I would have liked a slower shutter speed on this shot but it was still pretty bright out even using a polarizer, a ND4X filter, and…
365-188 Tres
OK, it is my third day of camera movement/slow shutter experiment photos. OK, so I’m not getting any better at it. OK, I’ll stop……eventually. I’ll try not to go there tomorrow but I can’t guarantee it! If a normal shot comes my way, then that’s what it will be! Otherwise….who knows? For kicks I’m throwing up a black and white version…
365-187 I promise not to overdo it
Still experimenting with intentional camera movement (ICM). I know it’s the second day in a row using this technique but it is helping my creativity some. This evening I focused on my neighbors flowers. I was going to try a shot at the ostrich farm but just couldn’t get myself to hop in the truck and drive over. Besides I was…
