Some colorfully painted school buses that were sitting at the local fairgrounds. I am assuming that they were there for a school bus demolition derby. Maybe I’ll be able to get an after picture later in the week. 😉 All taken with the GX1, G14 or PL25mm.

Fair opportunity
It’s the time of year for the county fair and I think I am going to try to visit this year, mainly for the photo ops. Weather permitting of course, since the parking areas are just grassy fields and they can get rather messy when it rains. I sold my truck a few months ago so I currently lack a…
Room for square
It’s square crop time. This is one of those compositions that just worked best that way. The remainder of the picture was just the left side of the front tank but I thought the square crop emphasized the lines and angles better. Or maybe I’m just seeing things.
Familiar forms
This shot is actually a pretty extreme crop from the original. I couldn’t get tight enough at the angle that I wanted so without the benefit of a super telephoto I had to “digitally” zoom. That being said, I think I’ll try another attempt at the shot at a later date to try some better compositions as I think the abstract qualities warrants that.
Plant life
It’s the weekend and viewership is usually down, so I’ll keep the chit-chat to a minimum. This shot is simply of two large leaves, taken near sunset at a nearby park. I kind of like the color contrasts between them and the warm lighting. My one regret though was that I didn’t drag out the tripod and shoot it at a lower…
It’s a mind thing
First, I’ll start off with a totally original photo, that no one else has attempted before – the “seagull on a post” pic! 🙂 As you can tell by my sarcasm with the accompanying photo, I haven’t been thrilled with my output as of late. Sure I have been through some growing pains experimenting with new gear, trying to find a balance…
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…
Keeping it yellow
May as well stay with a theme. No textures this time though. Taken in a bank parking lot.
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…
