Oglebay revisited. Today I wasn’t sure how my schedule was going to play out. By lunchtime I thought I was either going to remain at work until dark or it was going to start raining very hard for the rest of the day and I would be done for the day. So I thought I would swing by the park I…

365-255 yellow
All I keep seeing is yellow flowers everywhere. They are nice and everything but some color variation would be pleasant on occasion. But I guess I can’t ask for much this time of year. That being said, I may as well take advantage of them and do a few “summery” shots before everything turns brown. I decided to do some experimenting with in…
365-238 (the actual one)
I see I misnumbered yesterdays post. It has been corrected for those that are keeping score or at least counting down until I stop this madness. For photo 238 I took a spin through the county fairgrounds to see what was going on. I missed the actual county fair last week because of scheduling and assorted other goings on. Thinking I would…
365-233 Been there, done that
I revisited Oglebay Park today to shoot a little color for a change. I was there last spring for a previous 365 shot (365-110 ). While I was there today I shot some flowers, a few butterflies, and the grounds. All things I have done in past posts. The problem with the park is that it is so nice and clean I can’t…
365-230 Relax
After my vehicle fiasco yesterday and finding out what the monetary damage ($!!!) is today, I thought it best to take things in stride. After securing a rental vehicle and taking care of business with my employer, it was nice to visit a small park and enjoy the nature a little. A nice calming effect. With todays 365 photo I went…
365-226 Feeling textural
I took a photo of my neighbors flowers on my way out today just to have a shot “in the can.” After I ran some errands I uploaded the pics to see if I had to go back out and do some shooting. When I saw this particular image I thought it would make a good texture shot. I browsed…
365-195 Another visit to the fairgrounds
I thought I would visit the local fairgrounds again today. I was able to explore a little before preparations begin for the annual county fair next month. I decided to only use my Super-Takumar 50mm lens on my Pentax K20D. I am also still experimenting with Nik Color Efex so I am using it often before the trial runs out. Enjoy! Click on…
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…
365-177 Wee wee
Lets get small. Really small. This flower is about 1/2″ in diameter and I guess the little bugs are maybe 1/16″ or smaller. I was actually trying to photograph the underside of a mushroom I found in my yard using my reverse mounted Super-Takumar 50mm lens. My wife found the little flower and asked if I wanted to shoot it also.…
365-172 The flower won out
It was getting late and I still didn’t have a photo I was happy with. I had taken some photos in the broken window of a house from the 1700’s that I shot earlier in the year (365-72). The interior itself was nothing exciting so I was kind of disappointed. It wasn’t until I got closer to home and was…
