A spider in a dewy web

Just like the post title says! Not my usual type of photo but who can resist grabbing a good spider picture? I don’t care for the background in this one but it was in the weeds and everything was a bit crowded. I’m sure this is a common type of field spider but I don’t know what it is. Anybody?

Nothing too technical this time around

I promise no more gear talk for a while. At least not as in-depth as that last post. Let’s get back to images starting with some hay bales I spotted in the fog this morning. Cliché I know, but it’s autumn! I’m sure you can’t wait for the obligatory pumpkin pictures! 😉 For the record though I did shoot this with the…

Time to take care of business again

Unfortunately summer has come to an end here in the northern hemisphere. It’s that time again for chilly nights and pumpkin beer. 😉 I have to say although I do like some aspects of autumn I’m just not feeling it this year. Summer seemed all too short. The weather never really got “summery” until late August so I was just…

Much anticipated follow up

Man, this week has been flying by! I’ve been so busy that I forgot I wanted to follow up my last post with some color photos of the flowers. As I mentioned last time, I wasn’t super thrilled with what I shot but, considering this will probably wrap up any flower photos for this year, I figured one last blast won’t…

Down, but not out (until Saturday)

I got hit with yet another cold this past week. I think that makes at least three weekends this past year that I was sick and the symptoms from last weekends cold are still sticking around this weekend. I have my energy back for the most part but there still is that lingering “just not right” feeling. It didn’t help…

I’ve been to Bicycle Heaven and back

Taking a little break from the wide-angle black and white shots this time around. Not by choice, mind you, I did want to get out and shoot some but the sky wasn’t working with me of late. I like bold clouds for nice dramatic backgrounds but they just weren’t around when I went out to shoot. I was only blessed with clear blue…

Keeping it straight

A break from the wide angle scenes. I spotted this parking garage in the making while scouting out the location of where my employers new office is going to be. It was a Sunday so there wasn’t much construction activity and I liked the bare concrete of the garage. I would liked to have gotten closer and explored the lines…

Taking it one step further

Here are a few more shots from my “day after” shots of the county fair. I was going to post some full color shots but decided to stick with black and white since that seems to be where my head is at these days. I had some nice straight B&W images ready when my wife thought the train station shot…

It’s County Fair time!! Well, at least it was

It’s that time of year when I like to visit the county fair grounds the day after the fair ends. I try to get there every year to see if I can outdo myself (I never do) and if there is anything different from the previous year (doesn’t seem to be). I can easily walk around and photograph the various vintage looking…
