This is a rose at my neighbor’s house. It’s the last one remaining of the season, still hanging in there. I didn’t want such a tight crop but there were too many distractions in the background which wouldn’t have helped the photo any. So I went with a close-up and add a few textures in post. I compared the straight and…

365-323 It’s about color
I’ve been working on a project and literally stuck in one place the past few days, from dark to dark. With the exception of lunch break, I don’t really have the opportunity to stray too far so I’m doing my best to come up with something interesting. The one highlight is that I’m on top of a hill with a nice view…
365-321 Like a Lomo
I’m still continuing my lens testing and some processing experiments. I had to work today so my subjects were limited to the job site. Fortunately, I was high on a hill and had a nice panoramic view of the surrounding country. Unfortunately, it was extremely cold and windy with some blowing snow! But I did manage to grab a few…
365-318 Early bird
No worms but I did manage to find a photo relatively early today. I was traveling on the highway again and stopped at a rest area. As soon as I parked I spotted a truck driver sitting on a bench with his traveling companion on his shoulder. I don’t usually find colorful birds at the rest areas so I asked…
365-317 Did I say that?
I know I said I was done with any autumn nature photos but these were the only photos I shot today that I kind of liked. My 365 photo is a detail of some plants near a bank I use. They were practically colorless and wilted, ready for winter. Just perfect, in my opinion. The other photo is from the local cemetery.…
365-311 One more
I know I did the mid-autumn color post a few days ago but I couldn’t resist one more photo. This big leaf landed on this vine during it’s descent and was backlit by the late afternoon sun. It really glowed and easily caught my eye. Should be one of the last nature photos of any color that I take this year…
Some Autumn Love
Once that initial blast of autumn color is over, it seems people forget about the nature part of fall. The rest of the season means football and the upcoming holidays. So I just wanted to show some love for the second month of autumn. These were all taken in a patch of woods with late afternoon sun backlighting the leaves. The photos are…
365-300 The colors of the season
Another rainy day filled with travel. Although I was on the highway, I managed to grab todays 365 photo during a stop for gas somewhere in West Virginia. I saw the scene right before I exited and was glad to find an easy vantage point. I picked this photo because it’s rare that I do a straight landscape photo. I don’t…
365-299 Darkness on the edge of day
I like it when I get a photo nice and early in the day. It’s a calm relaxing feeling knowing that I don’t have to look at everything in a photographic way or go exploring after work. I arrived at work this morning and like recent mornings it was still dark out. Though unlike recent mornings the sky had some nice bold…
365-293 Let’s keep it simple
I am back home again. Hopefully I can get caught up on some things while I’m here. My day consisted of watching it rain and then driving home on the highway. Although I sort of kept an eye out for a photo, I didn’t find anything of interest. Well, I did see some nice autumn views when driving through the mountains…
