This shot didn’t fit in with the vintage shots from the last post, it needed its own space! Bicycle Heaven
Tag: Pentax
I’ve been to Bicycle Heaven and back
Taking a little break from the wide-angle black and white shots this time around. Not by choice, mind you, I did want to get out and shoot some but the sky wasn’t working with me of late. I like bold clouds for nice dramatic backgrounds but they just weren’t around when I went out to shoot. I was only blessed with clear blue…
Keeping it straight
A break from the wide angle scenes. I spotted this parking garage in the making while scouting out the location of where my employers new office is going to be. It was a Sunday so there wasn’t much construction activity and I liked the bare concrete of the garage. I would liked to have gotten closer and explored the lines…
Taking it one step further
Here are a few more shots from my “day after” shots of the county fair. I was going to post some full color shots but decided to stick with black and white since that seems to be where my head is at these days. I had some nice straight B&W images ready when my wife thought the train station shot…
It’s County Fair time!! Well, at least it was
It’s that time of year when I like to visit the county fair grounds the day after the fair ends. I try to get there every year to see if I can outdo myself (I never do) and if there is anything different from the previous year (doesn’t seem to be). I can easily walk around and photograph the various vintage looking…
This will take some practice. Shooting with a wide angle.
When I last left you I mentioned a new wide-angle lens that I was going to try out. Well I did try out THAT lens and it didn’t quite work out the way I had hoped. It wouldn’t take much snooping to know I usually use Pentax camera gear. I like it, it works for me, and I find their…
May as well finish out the month of posting every day with another black and white
It’s been fun and a challenge trying to post every day in the month of July. I thought the hard part would have been coming up with photos to post but I soon found out the challenge was trying to write something about them. Either way it was a nice experiment and the most important thing I found out was…
I can smell it
I can smell a theme cooking with the similarities between the last few photos I posted. This one was totally by chance and I didn’t intend to keep the contrast theme going but I just happened to open a folder in my archives from this month and this is the first photo I saw. Works for me. If you ask me why…
Keeping on the same contrast theme as yesterday
Another two color scene transformed into black and white. That’s all for tonight folks, see you tomorrow!
Let’s see some contrast!
A little creature I spotted in a mailbox. Poor guy has a part of a leg missing. This shot was an instant black and white moment.The spider was yellowish and the black metal reflecting the daylight was bluish so I knew right away that I could get a nice contrast in black and white. B&W is fun when there are…
