365-38 British Steel

 When I was younger I was a big fan of small European cars. I owned a Triumph and a Fiat at one time. Big American cars and trucks were the norm where I lived. I certainly liked American cars, especially muscle cars, but I loved driving the Euros.  There is a “foreign” car parts dealer in an alley off of the main road in…

365-37 Big Fan

Since its Super Bowl Sunday, I thought I would do a theme shot for the day. Living near Pittsburgh, displays like this are not unusual. It doesn’t take being in the Super Bowl to find houses decorated with Steelers paraphernalia, sometimes even year round. Oh, and somebody needs to tell Wiz Khalifa it’s “black and gold” not “black and yellow”. This…

365-35 Different color

Photo for today is a sunset, mostly because it’s a rare sight as of late. I feel warmer already. A pretty straightforward shot taken at a nearby farm. Pentax K20D, DA17-70 Sundown

365-33 Packers fans?

Now for something completely different! A quick visit to a pond in the cemetery today. I wanted to get a duck picture, just for a change of subject matter. I’m not a “wildlife” photographer usually and I don’t have the gear or patience to pull it off well. But I like the shot and I’m sticking with it!  Unfortunately, being…

365-32 All about texture

I took a quick trip through the cemetery thinking I would get some kind of goose or duck picture at the pond. That didn’t work out so I drove throught looking for something interesting. I liked the moss on this statue. I’ve been trying not to do too many texture overlay images lately but I think it really enhanced the…

365-30 City homes

I didn’t spend too much time trying to shoot today. While driving through town, I spotted this old dilapidated house . A nice looking place that at one time, I imagine, was an attractive home.  There’s a few houses like this around. I guess with the proper funds it could be restored to its former glory. Unfortunately the rest of the…

365-28 Winter is still here

Day 28 of my 365. I think I’m hanging in there. I know I haven’t taken so many photos of winter scenes in the past as I have this month. I thought I would stick with a simple composition today. I would have liked it if the horizon wasn’t in the middle as much but I didn’t have much choice…

365-27 Urban abstract

I thought I would go slightly abstract today. This door is on the second floor of a building in town. I tried for a different angle when shooting. Processed in PSE6 with Nik Silver Efex conversion and then I brought the blue of the glass back through. Shot with my Pentax K20D and DA17-70 Blue Glass Fall

Old Railroad Station

My 365 picture was taken at an old railroad station in town. I thought I would throw a few more shots up that I took there. I think it’s private property as it’s owned by the business next to it so I didn’t spend much time there. I used different post processing on these. All were taken with my Pentax…
