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…

365-193 At the waters edge
I waited until evening to take some photos today. I thought I would stop by a local lake that is a popular fishing area. I experimented with moving camera, slow shutter techniques and even did a few straightforward sunset shots. Most of my photo attempts were unsuccessful but I walked away with a few keepers. I am also trying a…
365-192 Takumar at f1.4
I drove through the city park today right after a rain storm. It was a good time to be there as it was practically empty. The light level was still low so I thought I would shoot a few photos with my Super-Takumar 50mm wide open at f1.4. Too bad there isn’t any real subject matter there to take advantage of…
365-190 Stone walled
Visited the cemetery again today because I was trying to find an animal to shoot. The animals in the cemetery are accessible since they are used to humans, which makes it somewhat easier to get photos. I wanted an animal to continue my intentional camera movement experiments and I wanted something else that was moving also. There were some geese at the…
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…
365-187 I promise not to overdo it
Still experimenting with intentional camera movement (ICM). I know it’s the second day in a row using this technique but it is helping my creativity some. This evening I focused on my neighbors flowers. I was going to try a shot at the ostrich farm but just couldn’t get myself to hop in the truck and drive over. Besides I was…
365-186 I see you, ICM
I have been so bored with my photo output lately. Maybe its just been the subjects, or lack thereof. And again today I found myself out on a beautiful day and just not finding any suitable subjects. So on a drive through the park and looking at all of the trees I decided I would try some intentional camera movement (ICM).…
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…
365-180 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…
365-179 I can see clearly
I still feel bad about yesterdays photo. I was in a bad place (mentally) when I shot it and looking back it looks like an awful cellphone photo that folks take on Flickr. I should have attempted something more creative. The thing is, I even saw some potential cool shots while I was at the restaurant but I didn’t take…
