Only one shot for today. I’ve seen this chain tightly wrapped and locked around this pole near the park many times and thought about getting a shot of it. It’s been that way as long as I can recall and I thought it looked kind of cool. Simple as that. Pentax K20D, DA17-70. In Secure

365-174 Action / no action
My 365 shot is of action. Well, as much action as I usually shoot. I spotted these men working on the billboards near the highway while sitting at a traffic light. The sky behind them was fairly dark and dramatic from passing storms but I had to go around the block to get a good shot due to foreground clutter. When…
365-170 Thank you Nik
Nik Silver Efex, that is. I spent near ZERO effort taking a photo today. Hey, I can have a day off once in a while, huh? It was a lawn care day in between rain showers so I was dragging a little after things were done. My wife and I went out to grab a bite to eat and I stopped at…
365-169 Easy things in black and white
I was driving on a downtown road today that I regularly travel, kind of thinking of a photo subject for the day. As I was approaching a stoplight I glanced over to an old auto repair garage and saw these lightbulbs in the window next to the sidewalk. I thought they made a nice group and contrasted well with the…
365-168 Reflections
Visited my old standby, the cemetery, today to see if there was any action at the duck pond. There were no ducks to speak of but quite a few big geese waddling around everywhere. Enough geese where I had to watch where I was walking 😉 . I decided to explore around the pond anyhow and look for some other subjects.…
365-165 A new place and some processing fun
I discovered a nice park and lake not too far from my home. It’s kind of hidden behind some affluent suburban neighborhoods. It’s a decent size lake surrounded by wooded areas with nice paths. A lot nicer than my city park. I’ll have to go back and visit soon. The woods are really nice with mature trees and lots of…
365-161 A little rurality
My original plans were to go to the arts festival again in Pittsburgh today. I thought it was a nice day and I always like to shoot in the city. But those plans got thwarted because some business I was trying to take care of ended taking too much time. So, later in the day I remembered a park that’s…
365-159 Little pink houses
Well I don’t really think this was an actual house at any time. I think it was more of a roadside business of some type. I can’t really remember what it was but it’s on a the side of a busy road south of Pittsburgh. I pass by it quite often and thought about photographing it some day but I…
Buildings and water in Pittsburgh
A few shots from yesterday. All Pentax K20D.
365-153 Another last minute shot
It’s been a really long and trying day. I was dealing with employment issues which I’ll discuss later. I didn’t get around to even thinking about a picture until near sundown. I happened to be near a park and pulled in just as the sun was filtering through the trees in the woods. I only had my DA55-300 and no tripod, so…
