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:

Nothing fancy today, just pretzel sticks in a bag. Straight built-in flash shot, not even any fancy f/1.4 bokeh, natural light stuff. I did do a little touch of orton effect in processing just to jazz it up a bit. I’ll make up for it tomorrow. Pentax K20D, DA17-70. Sticks In a Bag

365-51 Black and white trickery

Something a little different. I took the smokestack picture today and the sky was nice but a little uninteresting. A good time to practice some Photoshop skills. I remembered I shot some rain clouds with lightning a couple of years ago so I searched my files and found the shot. I extracted the sky from the old photo and added it to the…

365-49 Graffiti can be fun

Saw this graffiti on a closed movie theater and since it was a warm day in February, it just seemed right. The sunshine not only enhanced the colors but also the mood of everyone today. It seemed like people were out and about today and looking like they were enjoying themselves. Too bad the weather goes back downhill next week. Pentax K20D,…

365-44 Backlight – day 2

Another backlighting picture today. My wife actually spotted this church steeple as we were driving by. The sunlight streaming through the stained glass cupola enhanced the bold colors and created a nice effect. Pentax K20D, DA17-70 Heavenly Light

365-43 Duck pond revisited

Another visit to the pond in the local cemetery today. It’s always a good place to get a shot and there’s always ducks, geese, turkeys and deer roaming around. I stuck with the ducks today. I had to deal with some lens flare in this shot and the sun is a little brighter than I would like, but “work with…

365-42 Weathered surface

I didn’t get out to shoot much today. So, I thought I would shoot…..a brick. I have a pile of bricks in my yard and this one on top attracted my eye. I liked the holes and shadow. I used a touch of orton for effect but I have a straight version which I’ll throw on here along with a different angle.…

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
