Into the frame

I was only going to photograph the snow against the sky (I do that when I can’t find anything else to shoot) and this little deer came running across the frame. I’m far from an “action” shooter so my reflexes aren’t too swift but I did manage to grab a shot before it ran out of view. With the contrast…

Don’t like “Likes”

I’ve recently have been entering my work in contests, mostly just for fun and feedback and to wile away the winter days. Most “contests”, or competitions,  I have been entering have traditional judging, in the sense that a judge or judges choose what they think are the best images of the competition. Those are fine, I don’t have a problem with that…

Trees, cold, and me

What to do during a sub-freezing weather spell? I, for one, carried about my regular work duties – to a point. Although I was out and about prior to the polar vortex plunge, I quickly decided that it wasn’t for me. When you can’t stand being out in the weather after 30 seconds, and you don’t really have to, you find alternative…

Break time!

I know my contribution to this site has been a little lapse lately and for that I apologize. I know, I know, it’s really messing up your winter reading plans 🙂 but the photo ops have been few and farther between lately and I have been at a loss for words. Plus, it’s really been an ugly dark winter so…

Time to move on

These are probably going to be last of the Autumn themed photos for this year. I know, I know, it’s been lots of fun 🙂 but I have to work with what I’m given. And given that it is heading into the dreaded “ugly time of year”….winter (around here at least), I need to focus on other things besides nature.…

I wouldn’t blame you

If you are questioning yourself why you keep visiting this site, especially when I am posting photos like this, I wouldn’t blame you. My output has been a bit ho-hum and along with a gazillion other things I am trying to accomplish right now, these pages haven’t been too entertaining of late. But the reason I am showing this photo that I shot…

Avenues

I don’t have much to say for today’s post, so I’ll try to keep it short. It was a beautiful weekend, if a little on the cool side, but I didn’t do too much shooting. Instead the focus was on domestic things and actually going out and watching a live band for a change. It was nice. Plus I have…

Nice and wild

Couldn’t decide if I wanted to post a nice pretty picture or a wild crazy picture – so I’ll just do both! Lets start with the pretty picture. This is another one done with a teal split-tone B&W process. A little different from straight black and white. I like it and thinks it works great on flower pictures   And,…

It is what it is

I was going to post another toned black and white flower image but instead I’ll break things up with…..a broken up image! Playing with mirrors in downtown Pittsburgh. Somewhere there is a dinosaur involved! I was told by security that I can’t photograph towards the building shortly after taking this. Ah, modern life! 😦

Round in Circles

That’s the way I feel about my photography. Sometimes I like it, sometimes I don’t – and back again. Currently, I kind of like it. I’m not where I was thinking I wanted to go creatively, but I’m at least enjoying getting there. This is another shot taken during my exploration at the fairgrounds. It was just one of those…
