No surprise
It’s Independence Day in the USA, or as better known, the Fourth of July. With that comes picnics, hotdogs, partying , some flag waving, and, of course, fireworks!! A totally unoriginal shot for today but, eh, it’s a holiday and I didn’t want to break up the theme. a real live fireworks photo taken just moments ago. Display courtesy of the…
A little dapple will do ya
Between the dappled light and the wood grain on the church door I couldn’t help but to take this shot. But it was kind of a let down after I took it. I didn’t want to simply shoot the whole door and I thought the railing would help balance out the composition. I think it helps but what it’s helping,…
Minimal reptile
I’m going to take a break from color and go dark. Real dark. This is what you do when you can’t get a close-up of an alligator (the not long enough lens thing). So to make the best of it I went simple and graphic. Does it work? Eh, I don’t know. This is one of the shots where I…
July 2014
We’ll see how this July daily post thing works. I think I can do it with some ease but when I think about it too much I have my doubts. Considering I did a full 365 back in 2011 you wouldn’t think I would have any problem but, as Mr. Dylan said, things have changed. Keeping on a greenish hued theme from…
Posting about posting
Hi, welcome back! I decided I am going to attempt to post every day in the month of July. Why? Well why not, I say. Seriously, I just feel the need to push myself a little and posting every day necessitates going the extra inch. What the posts will be, I don’t know yet. They may simply be photos with a…
It’s that time
With the summer weather finally upon us I will be taking to some time to get some things done at the house and, of course, taking a holiday or two. I plan on doing some shooting whenever I can fit it in but I don’t know how often I’ll be posting – could be hit or miss. I may throw…
Branching out with buildings
In my ever-changing mind I thought I would try some straight up building shots for something different. I was thinking black and white right from the get-go and the late afternoon sky and light really enhanced the scenes. I basically just walked around looking for different perspectives than I normally would. Normally my eyes are on the ground looking for…
As I was saying
A different shot from yesterday. This is why I don’t do too much “street” photography. Not good with the people pics. But I do like the colors here (that cool/warm thing) so that’s why I’m showing it. But I think I’ll just move along….
City Lines
It’s been a while since I walked around the city just for the purpose of photography. Being a holiday weekend I had some free time and wanted to at least try to do some shooting in downtown Pittsburgh. I figured late Sunday afternoon wouldn’t be too busy but a Pirates baseball game just let out as my wife and I…
