Saw this graffiti on a closed movie theater and since it was a warm day in February, it just seemed right. The sunshine not only enhanced the colors but also the mood of everyone today. It seemed like people were out and about today and looking like they were enjoying themselves. Too bad the weather goes back downhill next week. Pentax K20D,…

365-48 The park after winter
Well, I guess it is still winter but it’s pretty warm today and feels like spring. I swung by the city park today to try to find some photo subjects. It’s looking a little worse for wear and tear after winter. Everything is still kind of filthy and dull so I knew I wasn’t going to get any kind of…
365-47 Let it flow
I visited a different park today for a change of scenery. But considering the time of year and the mild temperatures, everything is a little drab and colorless. I decided to focus on smaller subjects, such as this small waterfall over a rock. I know the standard thing to do for such a shot is a long exposure to blur…
365-46 Parking garage bokeh
I didn’t really get out to shoot anything today as I was doing other things. This is a bokeh shot taken in a parking garage window with my Super-Takumar 50mm, wide open. I shot a few pictures while I was in the garage thinking I would look for shots later on but I never got to shoot anymore. So, tip No.1 for 365’ers, shoot…
365-45 On the street
I didn’t purposely avoid doing a Valentines theme for today but I thought there would be plenty of others covering that. So instead, a street picture for today. Not a cool city street shot taken with a Leica but a picture of a car on the street in a small town taken with a Lumix LX-3. Well, at least it has a Leica lens! I…
365-44 Backlight – day 2
Another backlighting picture today. My wife actually spotted this church steeple as we were driving by. The sunlight streaming through the stained glass cupola enhanced the bold colors and created a nice effect. Pentax K20D, DA17-70 Heavenly Light
365-43 Duck pond revisited
Another visit to the pond in the local cemetery today. It’s always a good place to get a shot and there’s always ducks, geese, turkeys and deer roaming around. I stuck with the ducks today. I had to deal with some lens flare in this shot and the sun is a little brighter than I would like, but “work with…
365-41 My daily and some observations
I was driving past the local college when I saw these chairs on the campus. It was under 20°F, so I’m not surprised that any students were taking advantage of them. It will still be a couple of months yet before they get regular use. I used my Pentax K20D and DA55-300 lens. As far as my 365 project is going, I…
365-40 Cold facts
So you’re probably thinking, “David, ice AGAIN?” It has been a prominent subject of mine this winter but it’s the one thing I see when I look around. I wonder if people who live near the beach in a warm climate get tired of palm trees, sand, and surf pictures. I somehow doubt it. I actually wanted to try some processing options…
365-39 Kinetic star
A little sun for the day, in the form of a mobile hanging from my neighbor’s porch. It was snowing again today. Soon winter will be a distant memory and the sun in my pictures will be the real one. Processed with a touch of Topaz Adjust to punch up the color a bit. Pentax K20D, DA55-300 Going Mobile
