Another day of not shooting anything until late. This is a stump in my yard that I really need to get rid of someday. It’s just rotting and I always hit it with my lawn mower, chipping away at it a little at a time. None of these shots are award winners technically. I had to use a high ISO and…

365-71 Nice view from here
I was sitting in traffic at a red light when this big dog popped its head out a couple of cars in front of me. I happened to have my camera handy, so I grabbed a shot through my dirty windshield and into the bright late afternoon sun. No rule of thirds on this shot, within a second the dog went back…
365-70 Urban shooting
I saw this large sticker that was starting to peel off of a building and thought it could be interesting from a different angle. This is behind what was once a coffee shop. A little bit of urban art, I guess, in an alley. A rare sight where I live. even though my town has a few art galleries and…
365-69 Mellow Yellow
Yellow can be a bright cheerful color, especially after a drab winter. I didn’t head out to shoot yellow, or any other color, today. It’s still raining for the second day and I really didn’t feel like walking around and getting soaking wet so I tried to find subjects from my car. I took a shot of reflections while waiting…
365-65 Movin’ on
Number 65!! Only 300 more to go! 300?!! Yikes. Sticking around the house again today, which makes it tough to find photo subjects. I hope to get out and about more as the weather improves. I’m still layed off from my “normal” job, so I have plenty of time but no money. ;-( With gas prices rising, I have to…
365-62 Same place, different day
I’m in a bit of a creative funk right now. Both artistically and technically. I’m just not finding shots that work and the few that I thought I would like suffered from bad technical skills. Mostly just too blurry from either camera shake or bad focusing. Some shots look good on the LCD but when I load them onto the…
365-60 Altered reality on a small scale
“Blessed are they who see beautiful things in humble places where other people see nothing.” – Camille Pissarro My shot for today is not an abstract macro flower shot, though that’s what it appears to be. It’s a glass of iced green tea with a lime. I shot with my reverse-mounted Super-Takumar 50mm. Light from the window backlit the tea and…
365-58 A late one
12:02 AM. I guess I missed my post today by a few minutes. Well it’s late, so I’ll keep it short with a simple shot. Pentax K20D, DA17-70 White Wall Blue Sky Edited to add a shot from the other side:
365-57 Pittsburgh details
WordPress drives me crazy sometimes when I want to edit. I changed a photo and all of my text disappeared! Anyhow, I made a brief visit through downtown today. I just got to walk around a block and take a few snaps. For my 365 shot, “Levels“, I shot with a telephoto to compress the perspective a bit. I liked…
365-54 I really like abstracts
I’ll offer another abstract for my 365 today. It’s in portrait orientation, which is a little rare for me. I’ve been trying to do all landscape oriented photos for my 365, just for consistency sake, but I had no set rule. I tried to rotate this shot but I liked it best in the original vertical. I’m not going to say…
