365-36 Spring availability?

While walking around my yard I spotted this birds nest in a small tree near my porch. I never noticed it before but, since this is February, I imagine it’s from last year. I’ll have to keep tabs on it as spring approaches. Shot with my Super-Takumar 28mm. Pentax K20D Empty Nest

365-35 Different color

Photo for today is a sunset, mostly because it’s a rare sight as of late. I feel warmer already. A pretty straightforward shot taken at a nearby farm. Pentax K20D, DA17-70 Sundown

365-32 All about texture

I took a quick trip through the cemetery thinking I would get some kind of goose or duck picture at the pond. That didn’t work out so I drove throught looking for something interesting. I liked the moss on this statue. I’ve been trying not to do too many texture overlay images lately but I think it really enhanced the…

365-31 Soap opera

Simply bubbles in a bottle of Ajax dishwashing liquid. Shot with a reversed Super-Takumar 28mm. Everything worked against me in this shot – I was handholding, the light was low, the bubbles were moving and the plastic bottle distorted. After a few attempts I got a shot. I also did a blue-toned b&w version that I liked along with the original…

365-30 City homes

I didn’t spend too much time trying to shoot today. While driving through town, I spotted this old dilapidated house . A nice looking place that at one time, I imagine, was an attractive home.  There’s a few houses like this around. I guess with the proper funds it could be restored to its former glory. Unfortunately the rest of the…

365-29 Made it to the porch

Sticking around the house today. I didn’t really feel like setting up a tripod to shoot something inside so I went out to the yard to see if I could find a shot. Lots of snow still around so most things are covered up. We have this straw broom on the porch and I like the texture of it. Since…

365-28 Winter is still here

Day 28 of my 365. I think I’m hanging in there. I know I haven’t taken so many photos of winter scenes in the past as I have this month. I thought I would stick with a simple composition today. I would have liked it if the horizon wasn’t in the middle as much but I didn’t have much choice…

365-10

While in a bookstore today, I saw these small ceramic owls in the gift/decor area of the store. I liked how they were grouped and thought they would make a cute picture. Well, they were cute until I processed the photo in black and white. All of a sudden they took on a sinister appearance. Processed in PSE6 with Nik Silver Efex. Camera…
