I finally got out to take some actual photos yesterday. A nice sunny but cold winters day off from work. It’s been so dark and gloomy every time I had a camera in my hands lately, so it was nice to shoot away without worrying about slow shutter speeds. Unfortunately my creativity didn’t kick in and I ended up taking…

It’s something
For lack of anything to say and lack of any suitable photos that I have taken lately, I’ll offer up a fine portrait of a tree that a shot a short while ago. I played with the color on this one a little and almost….well, OK, I did forget about it, until I was browsing through my files this evening. It’s…
Thorns can scratch
This little leaf cluster caught my eye amongst all of the dried tree branches against the lovely snow and mud background. They just looked so vibrant and alive. And as soon as I saw the photo on the LCD I knew I wanted to do a texture treatment with it. Like always, I just wasn’t sure which way I was going to…
Drifting
Shooting snow has always been a challenge for me, especially when there is no other subject in the photo. I want to keep the brightness of it yet still retain the texture detail. Of course I overexposed when I shot so I wouldn’t end up with dark gray photos but I still had the highlights to consider, I didn’t want to burn out…
How about something different (from me at least)?
Different from the things I usually post on here but not too different from what a lot of other people shoot. A doe, a deer, a female deer, with a bit of a drop of golden sun thrown in. Sure I have shot deer before (photographically speaking, I’m not a hunter), but most of the photos have been somewhat lame.…
Keeping with the landscape theme
I thought I would post another landscape type photo since it kind of fits in with the mood of the last photo. Though in this case I have the added element of water, which makes for a nice tidy reflection. I titled it “Tiger Lines” because that is what the pattern reminded me of, color aside. Or maybe because I just ordered…
I feel like this leaf
I guess I picked a good week to take vacation. With this being the fifth rainy day in the row, I’m getting a little soggy. I canceled some plans to get work done on my house because it’s a bit too wet, so that left me with not much to do. With the exception of the hard core hurricane induced…
Not staying within the lines
It looks like the fall color is coming to an end soon, judging by what I saw today while driving around. That’s too bad, because I found a new life with it after getting bored taking “normal” shots, I started to experiment. I found the color a nice backdrop, and sometimes even the “subject”, for my multi-exposure photos. Considering the…
Trees seem to work
In my continuing multi-exposure experiments I have come to the conclusion that trees seem to work best for the technique. I was out in the park today and tried to incorporate other elements into the photos but I found that things with harder, straighter edges don’t seem to work as well. Also I need to be somewhat of a distance…
Zeroing in
A continuation of my multi-exposure experimenting. I’m sticking with the autumn theme for now until I can get out to shoot a better variety of subjects. I have ideas at least, if I can only find the scenarios I have in my head. I want to incorporate more defined elements, not so much nature, to give a little bit of a…
