No worms but I did manage to find a photo relatively early today. I was traveling on the highway again and stopped at a rest area. As soon as I parked I spotted a truck driver sitting on a bench with his traveling companion on his shoulder. I don’t usually find colorful birds at the rest areas so I asked…

365-317 Did I say that?
I know I said I was done with any autumn nature photos but these were the only photos I shot today that I kind of liked. My 365 photo is a detail of some plants near a bank I use. They were practically colorless and wilted, ready for winter. Just perfect, in my opinion. The other photo is from the local cemetery.…
365-316 Los cincuenta finales
The beginning of the end of my 365 project – the first of the final fifty images. It’s been fun but I can’t wait to take a break. Oh, I’ll keep shooting and posting, but probably closer to a few times a week, mostly if I have interesting images or stories. And I’ll keep dragging my camera around and trying…
365-315 Darkness on the edge of town
It’s been a long day and seemed like a long week, so I’ll keep it short tonight. I spotted this truck in a back alley a few weeks ago and never had the opportunity to shoot it until today. I only had the chance to process a couple black and white, low key images for now. Pentax K20D, DA17-70 Hot…
365-314 It was still there
After work I took a drive through an urban area on the way back to my hotel. I visit this area a few times a week for photo subjects since it is easily accessible and in between work and my lodging. The actual business area is relatively small and there is a commercial strip on a busy road. But it’s the…
365-311 One more
I know I did the mid-autumn color post a few days ago but I couldn’t resist one more photo. This big leaf landed on this vine during it’s descent and was backlit by the late afternoon sun. It really glowed and easily caught my eye. Should be one of the last nature photos of any color that I take this year…
365-310 Sheesh
Today is a continuation of yesterday in a sense. This is my only day off before heading back out of town tomorrow for work, which means I constantly have to think of what I need to get done before I go. The time change always throws me off a little in the first place. Then I had to drive 30 miles to…
Some Autumn Love
Once that initial blast of autumn color is over, it seems people forget about the nature part of fall. The rest of the season means football and the upcoming holidays. So I just wanted to show some love for the second month of autumn. These were all taken in a patch of woods with late afternoon sun backlighting the leaves. The photos are…
365-308 This one is like the other
I took a photo on the job site today that reminded me of the photo I had in my infamous Freshly Pressed post (365-271) of a compactor on a slope. They were both shot in similar situations of late afternoon sunlight and shooting towards the slope. That photo was in black and white and even though I think this photo…
365-307 Finding things
If you read past posts you’ll see that I often talk about going out and looking for a photo subject. In fact there have been very few times where I had a predetermined subject in mind for the day. Most days I’m out there seeing what I can find. Occasionally I’ll just bump into something, shoot it, and think, “hmm,…
