Wild color that is. Another one of my “shoot through a rainy window” photos. This is a roll of color coded conduit or fiber optic cable at a construction area. I didn’t have to work today because of the rain yet I still ended up taking a construction photo! In this case the “construction site” is a large office/manufacturing/retail/golfing/dining/etc. complex that is…

365-322 Well, there was this cat
My 365 shot for today is a closeup of a painted bolt. I went with this photo because I haven’t had very many abstract photos lately. Plus it’s orange! I’ve been kind of focusing on general scenes and nature in recent weeks and not focusing on any details, so I thought it would be a nice diversion. Pentax K20D, DA18-135. Orange…
365-308 This one is like the other
I took a photo on the job site today that reminded me of the photo I had in my infamous Freshly Pressed post (365-271) of a compactor on a slope. They were both shot in similar situations of late afternoon sunlight and shooting towards the slope. That photo was in black and white and even though I think this photo…
365-306 Metal Fatigue
Just a nod to one of my favorite guitarists and albums: Allan Holdsworth Since I was a bit tired when I got off of work today, I wanted to find something to shoot on my way back to my hotel instead of going out later. The sun was about to set and the strong sidelight was great but in order to take advantage…
365-303 It’s still a sill
Heading out to take care of some business, I thought about going by the usual cemetery to find a photo. Instead I stopped by an old railroad station in town that is now being used for, I assume, storage by a cement company. I took some photos there earlier in the year (365-24) and I didn’t want to repeat those,…
365-295 Three of one
It was almost dark and I didn’t have a photo for the day. My wife and I were out for a little shopping and dinner and my mind was more on that then taking a photo. I have to be careful to not let the 365 thing drive me crazy and need to realize I must have a life also! I did try…
365-294 Make a note
One of those days where I didn’t feel like heading out for a photo. I got to enjoy playing my guitar today and just relaxing. So instead of looking for a subject I thought I would make one. It’s a rare event that I try still life photos, mostly because I lack any proper “studio” gear. Regardless I decided to…
365-276 Since you’re there (a lesson)
One bad habit of mine that I’ve talked about in past posts is not exploring a location or subject to its full potential. There have been oftentimes, when viewing photos from a shoot, that, upon closer inspection, I think “aw, that would have been a nice detail to capture” or “why didn’t I try moving in/out/left/right?”. Because I usually like to work…
365-269 Changes
I originally thought I was going to do an autumn photo today. I shot some leaves at lunch time and was planning to do a texture treatment during post processing. I had it all figured out and was content. But while I was at work we had a late afternoon rain shower. It came down fairly heavy. After the rain I…
365-267 A day off
Today was my first actual day off in a couple of weeks. So after waking up about noon, I realized I would be visiting someplace local again for my 365 photo. I travel a lot during work so I didn’t want to venture too far from home today. As the afternoon wore on I didn’t have a photo yet so I…
