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…

365-224 Nature is nice
I know I have been shooting creatures lately and while it has been fun it has also been a challenge. Trying to get artsy compositions of animals and insects is really difficult. So I’ll probably go back to normal subject matter after today. I much prefer shooting architectural details, old things and abstracts. It helps that stuff doesn’t move when…
365-223 Tweet
A tweeter not a Twitter. In past posts I mentioned that I am generally not a nature photographer, in the wildlife sense. Sure I shoot flowers and the occasional landscape but shooting animals is not ny forte. First of all, I don’t have the gear for it. Shooting birds, for instance, takes some big telephoto lenses and lots of patience to…
365-214 If I’m doing grass…
…it’s because either I couldn’t find anything to shoot at all or it was a long, busy day and I really didn’t have the energy to try to find a better shot. Today was more of the latter. I shot the grasses towards the end of the day, just fooling around basically, and thought I would go out after I…
365-210 One week later
Another day of traveling back home. On my way I visited the same place I took last Fridays daily photo. Like last Friday I didn’t have a photo for the day until stopping at the park since there is not much to shoot on a highway in the middle of the day. I had to stop for gas anyway and it’s…
365-207 Landfill nature
I spent the whole day on a landfill. As exciting as that sounds I am going to spare you photos of actual garbage. Besides, all landfill garbage pictures generally look the same anyhow. Instead I’ll show some landfill nature. Enjoy! Pentax K20D, DA 55-300, DA17-70. Click on pics for larger view Marcher
365-203 One shot
It’s late and I’ve been busy and traveling all day so I’ll just post a single shot today. I stopped to get gas at a highway exit and saw a sign for a state park nearby and I figured that may be a good place to grab a daily shot. I spotted this duck contrasting against the reflected green in…
365-188 Tres
OK, it is my third day of camera movement/slow shutter experiment photos. OK, so I’m not getting any better at it. OK, I’ll stop……eventually. I’ll try not to go there tomorrow but I can’t guarantee it! If a normal shot comes my way, then that’s what it will be! Otherwise….who knows? For kicks I’m throwing up a black and white version…
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…
