No photo blues

It’s been so long since I posted anything and yet I still don’t have any new worthy pics! Sure, I’ve been taking some photos but they have been more along the lines of gear testing photos which are painfully boring since they are mainly for analysis.  But one of my test shots is unlike all of the others…..it moves! That’s…

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…

Something got wet

As dry as it has been, at least the corn got some rain yesterday and today. Unfortunately the rain came in the form of heavy storms which causes problems more than it helps any drought situations. As an example, I was driving through the hills of West Virginia yesterday and had to turn around multiple times due to flash flooding. A tough…

More window watching

Since my last post went over like a lead balloon, I guess I have no choice but to continue posting. Eventually I’ll get it right. Of course some interesting photography would help but, alas, I have none. I am not worried, I shall prevail and soon I will be gracing these pages with works of the highest caliber. Until then, please enjoy…

More dry things

May as well stick with a theme for a couple posts! I got to take some photos of an old house I discovered in a nearby town and this is one of the detail shots. I saw the house a few months ago and finally decided to take the drive and get a few shots of it.

Dry

It sure has been hot and dry around here the past few weeks. Although a little relief is forecasted as far as temperatures, there still is no significant rainfall predicted. So it will be more of the same – dry cracked soil and brown plants and lawns. It is pretty mild and really no big deal for me, considering what many…

Down on the tracks

In my continuing gear test, I thought I would revisit the train tracks not too far from where I live. I know that there is a ton of detail on the old box cars that sit idle on the tracks. Things don’t change much there and I shot the same cars last year for a couple of posts, but I can always…

Just testing the Leica Summilux 25mm f1.4

I got my hands on a Leica Summilux 25mm 1:1.4 lens for my GX1 and I’m giving it a go for a few days. It sure has exceptional image quality, super sharp – even wide open, although I don’t think I’m going to do it any real justice by just shooting around town. I can think of a few scenarios where this…
