Today was my first actual day off in a couple of weeks. So after waking up about noon, I realized I would be visiting someplace local again for my 365 photo. I travel a lot during work so I didn’t want to venture too far from home today. As the afternoon wore on I didn’t have a photo yet so I…

365-264 Keep on truckin’
I know I just did photos of an old truck the other day, but I stumbled upon another today and couldn’t resist. I was slightly ahead of schedule this morning and thought I would swing through a small town right off of the interstate. Even though I haven’t been through the town of West Alexander, Pennsylvania in probably close to 20 years, I…
365-254 Compression
My one day off today and I had a zillion things to do, so I’ll be short tonight. This is just a simple telephoto compression shot of some downtown buildings. I originally liked it in color due to the various paint colors and details but as soon as I tried a black and white conversion I was instantly drawn to…
365-251 Some things old
I just found myself shooting a bunch of old things today. Besides the door, which is I saw in an urban environment, everything else was taken at an outdoor display area at a local antique store. the store was closed and the items were behind a locked fence so getting any kind of composition was difficult at best. I stuck…
365-250 And so it goes
Sigh, these low uncreative periods are tough to weather through. Maybe not so much for you, the viewer, but I find them rough. I like when I have ideas in my head of where to go, what to shoot, and how to shoot it. Life is good then, photographically speaking. But in times like this I am like a zombie, walking…
365-247 Ain’t no sunshine
A cloudy and occasionally rainy day in contrast to yesterday. It was still overly humid though. But I did find some sunshine in this crop of sunflowers. This is the same place I shot the “Chicken People” image earlier in the year. I also played around with a few texture images. It’s still a holiday weekend so I’m keeping the…
365-246 Urban shots on a hot day
Yikes, it was around 100ºF outside today. I started the day trying to relax and doing a little shopping and lunch with my wife. After a late lunch, since we were in the area, I thought to take a quick ride through the Oakland area of Pittsburgh. Home of Schenley Park, Carnegie Museum and Library, Carnegie-Mellon University and the University of…
365-240 Look closely
One thing I like to do sometimes is look at photos I have taken at or near 100% and see if I can find pictures within the picture. When I come across what could be a potential composition I have to decide if a crop is viable or if I have to try a re-shoot. A re-shoot isn’t always possible if it’s a…
365-239 Around the block
All of these photos were taken during a walk around a single block in a neighboring town. I first spotted the boat and parked to take a picture. Afterwards, looking at the old buildings, I thought I would look around for further subject matter. Who knew I would find a gorilla? All Pentax K20D, DA17-70. Click on pics for larger…
365-238 (the actual one)
I see I misnumbered yesterdays post. It has been corrected for those that are keeping score or at least counting down until I stop this madness. For photo 238 I took a spin through the county fairgrounds to see what was going on. I missed the actual county fair last week because of scheduling and assorted other goings on. Thinking I would…
