Another geese photo. This time with textures and a bold color cast. Not sure where I am going with this but considering I don’t get out in the early A.M. too often, I would guess not very far. And in another bold experiment, an unsuccessful in camera double-exposure. I thought the concept was good but perhaps the subject matter isn’t…

Temporary inconvenience leads to good photo opportunity
My wife made a doctor appointment for me a few weeks back and since I always like early appointments so I can go without taking time from work, she made a 7:00 a.m. for me. When she told me the date and time we both realized that was my day off and the early time wasn’t necessary. She wanted to change the…
Cropping for better or worse
Sticking with native or standard crop ratios is the norm for me. For my 3:2 ratio images I generally stick with that ratio when I do need to crop. On occasion I will crop to 1:1 or 4:3 for portrait oriented photos. Since I try really hard to compose in camera my crops are basically to tighten up a shot…
Low hanging fruit (and One Lovely Blog Award completion)
It wasn’t until I started at my current employer that I started to hear the phrase “low-hanging fruit”. Apparently it’s a big corporate business world catchphrase. Low-hanging fruit – Tasks that have the greatest positive effect for the least effort, used when promoting new projects to show the advantages My previous jobs kept me out of meetings so that’s probably…
A lovely autumn scene from a lovely blog
I have been given a Lovely Blog Award by F-Stop Mama Amy Pantone. I am so honored that Amy likes my blog enough to give it attention on her own blog, that I must proceed with the award ceremony. But first, a lovely autumn scene photo. Now, on to the awards. The guidelines for the One Lovely Blog Award are:…
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?
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…
It’s all about sharing
When I’m shooting large amounts of photos, which I try to do when I am out purposely taking photos, I tend to process a few of the ones I like after the shoot then share them here and on Flickr, or even Facebook on occasion, and the next thing I know I am moving on to the next batch. Sometimes good photos…
Here’s (over)looking at you, Wheeling
The last time I visited Mount Wood Overlook in Wheeling, WV was in 2011 in the middle of my 365 photo project. I was working in the area at the time and during a rainy day break from work I remembered the overlook from visiting in my teenage years back in the early 80’s and wondered what it looked like. I…
