So, getting back to the autumn picture thing. I had all intentions of not trying to capture the fall season on camera anymore but I kept seeing colorful trees everywhere today. With the gray cloudy skies the colors seemed to pop more than usual. But since I was working today I couldn’t spend time taking photos so these are just…

Bricks, lots of bricks
I find most red brick buildings uninteresting as far as photography is concerned. The color and small consistent patterns usually makes for a dull photo. If I can find something of interest where a brick building is concerned I usually convert to black and white which takes away the distracting color and makes you concentrate on the lines instead. But today…
I can’t explain
I can’t explain much about this photo other than I took it through the window of an old storefront in Wheeling. It was in a large building and touted itself as an antiques store but it just looked like a bunch of useless junk sitting in an old warehouse. I think it was still in business, or at least recently…
I think I’m done with photography
I’m done with photography of the autumn season at least. Trying to get interesting photos of fall is always difficult, in my opinion, (unless, of course, you live in the Rockies or New England) and with the lackluster display this year I’m not going to purposely attempt to document it anymore. Of course I am not a “nature photographer” by…
Be afraid
OK, not really. But since it is getting near the Halloween season, who can’t resist some creepy graveyard photos? Well, they may not be too creepy but they fit the mood. I actually took these photos a year ago on this day along with about a gazillion other subjects. I certainly was on a roll that day, unlike this year…
Since I’m here I may as well experiment
Continuing from my visit to the park yesterday to photograph the autumn season. My disappointment with the color array left me to do more experimentation than I normally would. One thing I wanted to practice was in camera multiple exposures to create an impressionist look. I’ve seen this effect done with film cameras that have the ability to take endless…
I was in the park and everything was yellow
I visited the county park today to attempt some autumn photos. It was a beautiful day with the sunshine and blue skies and the park was looking very nice. The crowds weren’t too bad and a lot of people were doing the same thing I was – taking pictures. Only they seemed to be taking pictures of each other and not the…
An interim post
Until I get back out there and do some shooting again I thought I would at least post an interim photo. I haven’t been able to shoot much the past week and with nothing new to present I went into my files of my most recent shoot and edited a few pics. This photo was one that I ignored at…
I know this is a blog
I know the main purpose of a blog is writing. People like to read blogs. Even if it’s a photography oriented blog you are supposed to write about the photo – the technique behind it, the gear used, or the story of how you took it or something about the subject matter. But honestly, I am just totally tapped out on the writing…
When you have a plain background
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.
