Here are a few more shots from my “day after” shots of the county fair. I was going to post some full color shots but decided to stick with black and white since that seems to be where my head is at these days. I had some nice straight B&W images ready when my wife thought the train station shot…

It’s County Fair time!! Well, at least it was
It’s that time of year when I like to visit the county fair grounds the day after the fair ends. I try to get there every year to see if I can outdo myself (I never do) and if there is anything different from the previous year (doesn’t seem to be). I can easily walk around and photograph the various vintage looking…
This will take some practice. Shooting with a wide angle.
When I last left you I mentioned a new wide-angle lens that I was going to try out. Well I did try out THAT lens and it didn’t quite work out the way I had hoped. It wouldn’t take much snooping to know I usually use Pentax camera gear. I like it, it works for me, and I find their…
May as well finish out the month of posting every day with another black and white
It’s been fun and a challenge trying to post every day in the month of July. I thought the hard part would have been coming up with photos to post but I soon found out the challenge was trying to write something about them. Either way it was a nice experiment and the most important thing I found out was…
I can smell it
I can smell a theme cooking with the similarities between the last few photos I posted. This one was totally by chance and I didn’t intend to keep the contrast theme going but I just happened to open a folder in my archives from this month and this is the first photo I saw. Works for me. If you ask me why…
Keeping on the same contrast theme as yesterday
Another two color scene transformed into black and white. That’s all for tonight folks, see you tomorrow!
Let’s see some contrast!
A little creature I spotted in a mailbox. Poor guy has a part of a leg missing. This shot was an instant black and white moment.The spider was yellowish and the black metal reflecting the daylight was bluish so I knew right away that I could get a nice contrast in black and white. B&W is fun when there are…
All I need is a hand
I like these kind of ph0tos. A wide-angle shot of a close-up subject with the surroundings receding into the background. An environmental portrait of sorts. The challenge is finding suitable subjects in a suitable environment. I don’t like to arrange photos so when I look for subjects I shoot them how I find them. So it has to be a “complete…
Enough with the negativity
I know I am probably too hard on myself, not only with my photography, but in almost everything I do. I am, as they say, my own worst critic. I don’t think I am too negative though, I do believe I do a number of things quite well, it’s just that I think I don’t do them well enough. Enough…
iClassic culture
I say it here quite often that I’m not a fan of phone photography. I have seen good examples of what some folks can do with a phone, but quality wise the things just bug me. A ten year old point and shoot digital camera still runs circles around even the best phone cameras. I look at them more for…
