I took a variety of photos today and I’m kind of all over the place with them. I first took a few photos of my neighbors tulips. They were nice shots of pretty flowers but nothing special. I then saw some large raindrops on the leaves and I knew that it would make a nice black and white photo. I…

365-107 A few from around town
Took a drive around town (as usual) and took a few shots. Again, nothing overly creative but I hope you enjoy them nonetheless. My 365 shot is at Washington and Jefferson College campus. It’s part of my quest to find spring color. The black and white is at the town park. You can see why I zoomed through there! The…
365-106 When there’s nothing to shoot…
…you shoot nothing. The lighting this afternoon was incredible. After the rain cleared there were still dramatic clouds and coupled with the late afternoon sun it was simply beautiful. That would all be cool if I lived in the shadows of a nice mountain range or the desert southwest and I could capture some sweeping landscape shot. Instead I was…
365-104 If you just shoot it you don’t have to remember
I spotted this old Impala sticking out of the garage a few months ago. I meant to get a shot of it but simply forgot about it until today when I was driving through the intersection of the road it was on and seen it. I didn’t want to forget about it again so I drove around the block and snapped a…
365-102 So much rain, so little time
It just rained and rained today so I didn’t feel like taking any outdoor photos. Plus I had a training event at “work” that took until after dark so I snapped a shot in the parking garage on my way out. Sorry. Parking Garage
365-100 Safari adventures
A few animal shots for today. I was driving along a rural road and spotted some ostriches in a field. I guess in some places that wouldn’t be unusual but in Pennsylvania, it’s not something you come across very often. They obviously belonged to someone and if I would have seen anyone around I would have asked if I could take…
365-98 Takin’ it to the streets
Through some comments I’ve had with Nathan Stitt about street photography and a recent discovery of the work of John Angulat, I have a renewed interest in that style of photography. I’ll be the first one to admit that I am not a street photographer. First of all, I don’t live in a large city where most really cool street…
365-92 Well, I could tell that they was mine…
…from the oil and gasoline – ZZ Top “Blue Jean Blues” I spotted this glove in a picture I took the other day of the oil tanks and knew I had to try to get a picture of it. I went out today specifically to shoot it and I just beat a heavy rain by seconds after I got the…
365-90 Back alley blues
On my way to the grocery store today, I detoured through an alley in town and grabbed a few shots. I have most of the main streets in town memorized as far as photo possibilities that I have to find new places to explore. Back alleys always offer something of interest that few get to see, so they’re worth exploring on occasion.…
365-89 Fun, well not really, with plastic
Today started out bad and kind of destroyed my mood for the day. I didn’t go out to shoot anything so I had to look around the house. My wifes plastic hair clip was sitting on a table so I tried some macro shots of it. All shots were done with a Super-Takumar 50mm, wide open except for the last overall shot…
