I have been having a few days now where I’m not too inspired photographically. I have those every once in a while and I’m not too concerned, yet. I think it just makes it boring for my viewers here. I apologize for that. I have some “life” issues that I’m taking care of right now and the photography is kind…

365-158 No deep insights
Not much to add today. I basically stayed around the house. I saw some rose petals had fallen from my neighbors rose bush and went over to take a look. I saw the petals in this plant with really cool curvy leaves and I liked the contrast in color. Pentax K20D, DA17-70 Ravage
365-157 Wally world
Running late again. I’ve seen these skylights on the Wal-Mart roof plenty of times at night and always thought that there may be a shot there. I like repeating patterns. What I didn’t notice before was all of the distractions (wires, vents, lights, HVAC, etc.). So it was tough to get even a little bit of a pattern from my vantage point.…
365-156 Just playin’ around
I saw this cherub figurine in a gift shop window and snapped a shot. I only took the one shot and didn’t think much of it when I did. The straight shot was decent enough but I thought I would throw a little processing fun in the works for a change. In Photoshop, I Did a Topaz Adjust layer and…
365-154 Yes, actual people!
Regulars viewers know that it’s rare for me to show people pictures. I don’t have anything against them, I just don’t normally try to take any. And when I do, I don’t think I bring anything new to the table, creatively. I’ll leave that to others. But today was the first day of the Three Rivers Arts Festival in downtown…
365-153 Another last minute shot
It’s been a really long and trying day. I was dealing with employment issues which I’ll discuss later. I didn’t get around to even thinking about a picture until near sundown. I happened to be near a park and pulled in just as the sun was filtering through the trees in the woods. I only had my DA55-300 and no tripod, so…
365-152 When all else fails…
…go for color. I was on the southside of Pittsburgh this afternoon and even though there is plenty of old architecture around I just wasn’t seeing anything. The bright sunlight was too harsh and when I looked in the shady areas everything looked kind of….well…neat and clean. Nice, but not good for photos! So when I saw this brightly painted and weathered…

A few details from down by the tracks in Arden. All with Pentax K20D and DA17-70 or Super-Takumar 50mm. X Factor
365-150 Total originality
Lets see..Memorial Day holiday…American flag…may as well go with the standard title too. Well at least I found an old flag, this one flying in front of some type of arts and craft store that was closed. I shot it backlit by the sun somewhat using my Super-Takumar 50mm at f/2.8. I used the Tak thinking I could blur out…
365-149 It’s a holiday weekend…
….in the USA, at least. So I figured I wouldn’t get many views today. That’s fine because I had a lot to do today and none of it had anything to do with photography. By the time I was done it was near dark and I thought I would try to find something to shoot for my 365. Armed with my newly…
