I imagine you would go through a whole box of crayons if you were to color in this scene. This is a grab shot from the local fair and although it doesn’t have a whole lot to offer as far as composition it certainly makes up for it in the amount of color! I probably should have toned down the…

Down below
On a two-hour commute home from work yesterday I spotted a sign for a scenic overlook ahead and thought that it may be of interest. When I arrived I saw that the parking lot was empty (it wasn’t exactly on a well-traveled road) and I pulled in to check it out, mostly for future reference as the time of day…
Fair opportunity
It’s the time of year for the county fair and I think I am going to try to visit this year, mainly for the photo ops. Weather permitting of course, since the parking areas are just grassy fields and they can get rather messy when it rains. I sold my truck a few months ago so I currently lack a…
Room for square
It’s square crop time. This is one of those compositions that just worked best that way. The remainder of the picture was just the left side of the front tank but I thought the square crop emphasized the lines and angles better. Or maybe I’m just seeing things.
Familiar forms
This shot is actually a pretty extreme crop from the original. I couldn’t get tight enough at the angle that I wanted so without the benefit of a super telephoto I had to “digitally” zoom. That being said, I think I’ll try another attempt at the shot at a later date to try some better compositions as I think the abstract qualities warrants that.
Plant life
It’s the weekend and viewership is usually down, so I’ll keep the chit-chat to a minimum. This shot is simply of two large leaves, taken near sunset at a nearby park. I kind of like the color contrasts between them and the warm lighting. My one regret though was that I didn’t drag out the tripod and shoot it at a lower…
It’s a mind thing
First, I’ll start off with a totally original photo, that no one else has attempted before – the “seagull on a post” pic! 🙂 As you can tell by my sarcasm with the accompanying photo, I haven’t been thrilled with my output as of late. Sure I have been through some growing pains experimenting with new gear, trying to find a balance…
Feeling nautical
Since I have a few days of from work, my wife and I took a quick drive “up” north to Lake Erie. We basically just went for the night to get out of town. Sitting on the dock and watching the sunset as sailboats went by was a little more relaxing than listening to trucks and three-color Cavaliers driving past…
Keeping it yellow
May as well stay with a theme. No textures this time though. Taken in a bank parking lot.
Some weekend art experiments
I’m just kind of sticking around the house this weekend, even though there are some cool events happening nearby that would be fun to see, like the Pittsburgh Blues Festival and the Vintage Grand Prix. Perhaps next year when my house is situated a little better. For now I have other things to focus on. That doesn’t mean I am not…
