I didn’t spend too much time trying to shoot today. While driving through town, I spotted this old dilapidated house . A nice looking place that at one time, I imagine, was an attractive home. There’s a few houses like this around. I guess with the proper funds it could be restored to its former glory. Unfortunately the rest of the…

365-29 Made it to the porch
Sticking around the house today. I didn’t really feel like setting up a tripod to shoot something inside so I went out to the yard to see if I could find a shot. Lots of snow still around so most things are covered up. We have this straw broom on the porch and I like the texture of it. Since…
365-28 Winter is still here
Day 28 of my 365. I think I’m hanging in there. I know I haven’t taken so many photos of winter scenes in the past as I have this month. I thought I would stick with a simple composition today. I would have liked it if the horizon wasn’t in the middle as much but I didn’t have much choice…
365-27 Urban abstract
I thought I would go slightly abstract today. This door is on the second floor of a building in town. I tried for a different angle when shooting. Processed in PSE6 with Nik Silver Efex conversion and then I brought the blue of the glass back through. Shot with my Pentax K20D and DA17-70 Blue Glass Fall
365-26 – Snow day at the cemetery
A nice snowy day today. I thought I would try to get some nature photos for a change. I didn’t want to venture too far out of town. So, where to go? The local park? Not a chance. The park in this town is a scraggly, hilly, unkempt mess with bad roads. Instead I went to the large cemetery nearby…
365-25
Coming up with new ideas everyday is a challenge. Driving around aimlessly looking for photos can get tiring and expensive. So when I stay around the house, as today, I look around at really small things. Thanks to my wife for suggesting the peacock feather. Pentax K20D, reversed Super-Takumar 50mm Eyelight
Old Railroad Station
My 365 picture was taken at an old railroad station in town. I thought I would throw a few more shots up that I took there. I think it’s private property as it’s owned by the business next to it so I didn’t spend much time there. I used different post processing on these. All were taken with my Pentax…
365-24
There is an old railroad station in town that is pretty much intact even though it hasn’t been used as such for decades. The building is owned by a cement company which is adjacent to it. I think they just use it for storage. There has been talks that it should be used for something but that’s about how far…
365-23
I figured I would be watching a lot of football today (Go Steelers!) and wouldn’t have time to go out and shoot. So I shot around the house using my favorite “around the house” lens – my Super-Takumar 50mm. This was shot at F2 and processed in ACR to PSE6 with Topaz Adjust. Pentax K20D Stemware
Learning curve
Since I’m working on my 365 photo project this year, I find myself out shooting more than past winters. The area I live in doesn’t have grand vistas to photograph – no snow-covered mountains – no charming rural scenes. There is a lot of rural areas, of course, but “charming” isn’t a word I would use to describe them. We don’t have…
