You may as well jazz it up with some textures. Works especially well with flowers. This particular one was outside of Phipps Conservatory in Pittsburgh.

Sigh, I may as well start now
Much to my dismay, autumn is here.
365-325 Can’t be satisfied
This is a rose at my neighbor’s house. It’s the last one remaining of the season, still hanging in there. I didn’t want such a tight crop but there were too many distractions in the background which wouldn’t have helped the photo any. So I went with a close-up and add a few textures in post. I compared the straight and…
365-317 Did I say that?
I know I said I was done with any autumn nature photos but these were the only photos I shot today that I kind of liked. My 365 photo is a detail of some plants near a bank I use. They were practically colorless and wilted, ready for winter. Just perfect, in my opinion. The other photo is from the local cemetery.…
Some Autumn Love
Once that initial blast of autumn color is over, it seems people forget about the nature part of fall. The rest of the season means football and the upcoming holidays. So I just wanted to show some love for the second month of autumn. These were all taken in a patch of woods with late afternoon sun backlighting the leaves. The photos are…
365-300 The colors of the season
Another rainy day filled with travel. Although I was on the highway, I managed to grab todays 365 photo during a stop for gas somewhere in West Virginia. I saw the scene right before I exited and was glad to find an easy vantage point. I picked this photo because it’s rare that I do a straight landscape photo. I don’t…
365-287 Splendor
The creativity is just taking a nose dive lately. Maybe I’m a little burnt from trying the every day photo thing. Of course, I don’t have long to go and I’ll keep it up but it’s wearing a little. It’s not that I’m not seeing potential photos, I do, but I’m not being able to take any. I often see…
365-285 Zzzz
Back home again. It’s been a long day with work and traveling so I’m just going to post and run tonight. I’ll leave you with some autumn reflections. Pentax K20D, DA17-70. Edit: Looking at the photo today after getting some sleep, I think I need to tone down the saturation a bit. That blue is a little too bold. Note…
365-283 Laptop visions
I’m back in the Charleston, WV area again for a few days. That means I’m working off of my laptop which isn’t my favorite place to process photos. But I’ll give it a good try. I took a wide variety of photos today, none of which truly excite me. That’s fine though because I did scout out a few potential shots for…
365-280 October
I may as well stick to the seasonal theme today. October, fall, Halloween, or harvest – either way the overwhelming color is orange. Pumpkins, leaves, and sunsets all add to the “orangeness” of the season. I shot this dew covered spiderweb this morning and I originally thought to do a black and white image but, after a little experimentation, decided to…
