365-32 All about texture

I took a quick trip through the cemetery thinking I would get some kind of goose or duck picture at the pond. That didn’t work out so I drove throught looking for something interesting. I liked the moss on this statue. I’ve been trying not to do too many texture overlay images lately but I think it really enhanced the…

365-31 Soap opera

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…

365-28 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

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

My 365 project

Welcome to my new blog. I hope you enjoy visiting often. I’ll start off with showing a few pictures from a 365 photo project I’m attempting for 2011 that I started on January 1st. I hope I can keep it up. I’m going to try to be creative somewhat and not simply show facets of my daily life. I’ll also try…
