I didn’t get around to taking any photos until late tonight because I didn’t have a camera with me while I was out earlier. Since it was near dark when I went to get a shot I thought an evening sky reflecting in the lake would be nice for a change. There were enough clouds in the sky to make it…

365-194 All seriousness aside
Normally I don’t like to take the “I ate this” type of food shots for my 365, but there’s always an exception. Who can resist a cool creamy treat on a summer day? This is a banana ice with vanilla custard from Rita’s. Photo shot with Pentax K20D and DA17-70. I took this wide open at f4.0 to show how well this lens…
365-191 Hangin’ at the courthouse
Well I wasn’t really hanging out (although there are some questionable characters who do) but just stopped by for a few photos. Sundays are a nice time to check out some of the architecture around the downtown area because there are few people milling about. I thought I would go onto the steps of the courthouse and get a different…
365-188 Tres
OK, it is my third day of camera movement/slow shutter experiment photos. OK, so I’m not getting any better at it. OK, I’ll stop……eventually. I’ll try not to go there tomorrow but I can’t guarantee it! If a normal shot comes my way, then that’s what it will be! Otherwise….who knows? For kicks I’m throwing up a black and white version…
365-185 Hmmm, what can I shoot today?
The 4th of July in the USA. Besides hotdogs the usual subject to photograph is fireworks. This is the first time I ever bothered to shoot fireworks in about twenty years. the last fireworks photos I took were on Kodachrome 64 at the city of Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh still puts on an impressive display but I stuck around the small town…
365-182 Must stay strong
I am about at the halfway point on my 365 project and I have to admit it’s getting a bit tedious at times. I seriously believe that I’m running out of subjects locally. I can’t really afford to travel much so getting away for new sites is kind of out of the question. There is nothing I would like better than to…
365-181 Hip to be square
A rare square crop from me today. I saw this shiny truck near a gas station I was at and thought it would make a good 365 subject. I went with the square crop because it was parked next to a wall and there was nothing but pavement on the other side. In other words, nothing that was significant for the…
365-180 Forget all your cares and go
Downtown. Explored around the downtown area today. Well, OK, downtown doesn’t cover that much of an area. I probably have covered the area pretty well over the last few months but I think there is always a shot somewhere. I was able to park my vehicle and look around the old parking garage that is soon to be demolished or sold…
365-175 Just one
Only one shot for today. I’ve seen this chain tightly wrapped and locked around this pole near the park many times and thought about getting a shot of it. It’s been that way as long as I can recall and I thought it looked kind of cool. Simple as that. Pentax K20D, DA17-70. In Secure
365-170 Thank you Nik
Nik Silver Efex, that is. I spent near ZERO effort taking a photo today. Hey, I can have a day off once in a while, huh? It was a lawn care day in between rain showers so I was dragging a little after things were done. My wife and I went out to grab a bite to eat and I stopped at…
