Simply bubbles in a bottle of Ajax dishwashing liquid. Shot with a reversed Super-Takumar 28mm. Everything worked against me in this shot – I was handholding, the light was low, the bubbles were moving and the plastic bottle distorted. After a few attempts I got a shot. I also did a blue-toned b&w version that I liked along with the original…

365-30 City homes
I didn’t spend too much time trying to shoot today. While driving through town, I spotted this old dilapidated house . A nice looking place that at one time, I imagine, was an attractive home. There’s a few houses like this around. I guess with the proper funds it could be restored to its former glory. Unfortunately the rest of the…
365-29 Made it to the porch
Sticking around the house today. I didn’t really feel like setting up a tripod to shoot something inside so I went out to the yard to see if I could find a shot. Lots of snow still around so most things are covered up. We have this straw broom on the porch and I like the texture of it. Since…
365-28 Winter is still here
Day 28 of my 365. I think I’m hanging in there. I know I haven’t taken so many photos of winter scenes in the past as I have this month. I thought I would stick with a simple composition today. I would have liked it if the horizon wasn’t in the middle as much but I didn’t have much choice…
365-27 Urban abstract
I thought I would go slightly abstract today. This door is on the second floor of a building in town. I tried for a different angle when shooting. Processed in PSE6 with Nik Silver Efex conversion and then I brought the blue of the glass back through. Shot with my Pentax K20D and DA17-70 Blue Glass Fall

Coming up with new ideas everyday is a challenge. Driving around aimlessly looking for photos can get tiring and expensive. So when I stay around the house, as today, I look around at really small things. Thanks to my wife for suggesting the peacock feather. Pentax K20D, reversed Super-Takumar 50mm Eyelight
365-23
I figured I would be watching a lot of football today (Go Steelers!) and wouldn’t have time to go out and shoot. So I shot around the house using my favorite “around the house” lens – my Super-Takumar 50mm. This was shot at F2 and processed in ACR to PSE6 with Topaz Adjust. Pentax K20D Stemware

Winter around here just seems to lend itself to textural photos. Everything is a bit drab. Nature is idle, just waiting for new life in spring. I have to thank SkeletalMess again for the textures. I don’t have the stock or inclination to make my own just yet. Pentax K20D, DA17-70 Branch
365-18
Out shopping today instead of shooting. I saw this balloon on the ceiling at a mall, two stories above the children’s play area. Had to do a little work in PSE6 with curves, contrast, etc. to get it looking halfway nice. Still a little noisy but not too bad. Shot with the Lumix LX-3. Toy Go Bye-bye
365-17
Experimenting with macro again. I took even more pictures of ice today but tried to avoid selecting yet another ice shot for my 365. The “moon” in this shot is actually a small crystal “switch”, about 3-4mm in size, on a small 4″ glass electric guitar figurine. The “stars” are, of course, dust! Shot with my 28mm Super-Takumar lens reverse mounted and Sunpak flash.…
