I like todays picture. I’m not really sure why. It doesn’t offer much along the lines of subject matter – just some black cattle, scattered around the photo. It’s not necessarily a good composition. The image is kind of dark, in my opinion, but I wanted it that way. I wanted the black cattle to be black, just like they looked in…

Two for today
Going to break it up a little today. I saw these flowers growing on the end of a grungy painted dumpster today and I liked the nice built-in backgrounds. It looked like the roll off dumpster dug up some dirt while it was being unloaded and it’s been there so long flowers were growing in the dirt. These shots are almost begging…
Woodsy
A little diversion from the carnival and into the woods of West Virginia. Just a lot of trees there.
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…
Keeping it yellow
May as well stay with a theme. No textures this time though. Taken in a bank parking lot.
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…
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…
Uhm….I don’t know

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…
Take a break
I think I’m too hard on myself about almost everything I do, especially photography. Although I try not to go at things too seriously, I get upset when I think I could do better. I know for sure that I could have done LOTS of things better throughout my life, yet here I am. I’m good with myself. Life is…
