Happy to report that one of my images “Sunrise” was selected to appear in the Lenswork book “Light, Glorious Light”. An unusual image for me as I normally don’t have color photos published, let alone a landscape. The majority of my published work is in monochrome and my subject matter is usually more detail oriented. I shot this image over ten…
My 365 shot for today is a closeup of a painted bolt. I went with this photo because I haven’t had very many abstract photos lately. Plus it’s orange! I’ve been kind of focusing on general scenes and nature in recent weeks and not focusing on any details, so I thought it would be a nice diversion. Pentax K20D, DA18-135. Orange…
I took a few sunrise photos this morning. I thought they looked good on the camera but after I viewed them on my monitor they just didn’t work for me. That happens. But I was intrigued by these dew covered twigs I captured. Just a grab shot really. They were backlit by the early sunrise. I’m glad I shot them as…
I’ll keep the chatter to a minimum today because I just want to take a break. I really need to do some adjustments on my guitars and change some strings. Plus just working on some songs and relaxing. I also want to visit a few sites of the fellow bloggers who stopped by here. So I’ll leave you with a…
I haven’t really done any bold color abstracts in a while so, although this wasn’t the photo I planned on using, it won out. I was in a landfill again (yet another one) and this is leachate stained plastic liner. In real life it’s just a typical sight you see on a landfill but I just seemed to notice another dimension in…
I have been having a few days now where I’m not too inspired photographically. I have those every once in a while and I’m not too concerned, yet. I think it just makes it boring for my viewers here. I apologize for that. I have some “life” issues that I’m taking care of right now and the photography is kind…
I’ll keep the description short today. I was thinking of just getting a picture around the house for my 365 today but after looking around, I thought maybe I should take a quick drive to see if there’s anything to shoot. Heading out in a different direction than I normally would, I saw some smoke as I was driving down the…
Besides being the title of my 365 shot, an abstract detail of a dumpster in front of a former Blockbuster Video store, it’s also the title of an album by Al Di Meola, a phenomenal jazz/fusion guitarist. Orange and Blue is an album that you have to listen from beginning to end to get the full experience. There are individual…
Number 65!! Only 300 more to go! 300?!! Yikes. Sticking around the house again today, which makes it tough to find photo subjects. I hope to get out and about more as the weather improves. I’m still layed off from my “normal” job, so I have plenty of time but no money. ;-( With gas prices rising, I have to…
Nothing fancy today, just pretzel sticks in a bag. Straight built-in flash shot, not even any fancy f/1.4 bokeh, natural light stuff. I did do a little touch of orton effect in processing just to jazz it up a bit. I’ll make up for it tomorrow. Pentax K20D, DA17-70. Sticks In a Bag
