I need to get to the point

A roadside find I came across today. These skulls and antlers were on the side of a barn in West Virginia, which was literally right next to the road . Besides the collection I really liked the matching patina of the bones and barn siding. They all kind of blended together, which made it a little difficult to photograph. So I…

Keeping with the landscape theme

I thought I would post another landscape type photo since it kind of fits in with the mood of the last photo. Though in this case I have the added element of water, which makes for a nice tidy reflection. I titled it “Tiger Lines” because that is what the pattern reminded me of, color aside. Or maybe because I just ordered…

Fall is just about fallen

And with that it’s time to look forward to winter. Ooh, can’t wait. I’m a fan of snow but most of winter in this part of the country is just a dull, rainy/freezing rain, cold, muddy mess. My work takes me outdoors a lot and when you are working outdoors almost every day you realize how few truly “nice” days there…

There for a reason

I saw this farm fence today and I thought the location of it warranted a photo. The fence itself is nothing unusual, just the normal post and wire ensemble, but as you can tell, the background sure looked crazy. The fence is on the side of a country road and immediately behind it is a ravine, where the large, scraggly tree…

Hmm, I got nothin’

So how about we spice it up with a taste of spice. I don’t have much to add to this photo except that I kind of like it. I like the warm colors and I like the circles. Circles are cool – when you can find them.   Hey, what the hey, I may as well throw in a few…

Had to get out of the rain

Day number 6 of rain on my vacation so I thought a nice diversion would be to visit the Phipps Conservatory and enjoy a little color….while staying dry of course. The tropical “rain” forest wasn’t too inviting 😉 but all in all it was a nice place to enjoy some different scenery and exotic plant life. Photography-wise I just took the…

I feel like this leaf

I guess I picked a good week to take vacation. With this being the fifth rainy day in the row, I’m getting a little soggy. I canceled some plans to get work done on my house because it’s a bit too wet, so that left me with not much to do. With the exception of the hard core hurricane induced…

Not staying within the lines

It looks like the fall color is coming to an end soon, judging by what I saw today while driving around. That’s too bad, because I found a new life with it after getting bored taking “normal” shots, I started to experiment. I found the color a nice backdrop, and sometimes even the “subject”, for my multi-exposure photos. Considering the…

Trees seem to work

In my continuing multi-exposure experiments I have come to the conclusion that trees seem to work best for the technique. I was out in the park today and tried to incorporate other elements into the photos but I found that things with harder, straighter edges don’t seem to work as well. Also I need to be somewhat of a distance…
