365-219 The benefits of digital

Besides the fact that you can choose between black and white or color whenever you want or that you can shoot a wide variety of ISO’s to fit the situation, you can also go wild in processing a photo, if you choose. I probably wouldn’t normally choose to do such image manipulation but when your back is against the wall…

365-218 Stylin’

Ah, the landau top. A wonderful exercise in automotive design. Throw it on a big, wide Buick and you’ll be the talk of the town. I remember doing some car detailing when I was younger and almost all of the cars had vinyl tops. Reconditioning a vinyl top really wasn’t any fun but when the owner saw the gleaming white…

365-217 Some color for a change

I haven’t really done any bold color abstracts in a while so, although this wasn’t the photo I planned on using, it won out. I was in a landfill again (yet another one) and this is leachate stained plastic liner. In real life it’s just a typical sight you see on a landfill but I just seemed to notice another dimension in…

365-215 Puzzling

I’m still spending the bulk of my day in a very un-photogenic place so I’m having a difficult time being creative with my shots. I’ll find a way to work around it soon but having the constraints forces me to look at things differently and try to pull a photo out. Not always successful. Not always interesting. Always a learning…

365-214 If I’m doing grass…

…it’s because either I couldn’t find anything to shoot at all or it was a long, busy day and I really didn’t have the energy to try to find a better shot. Today was more of the latter. I shot the grasses towards the end of the day, just fooling around basically, and thought I would go out after I…

365-213 The other side of the landfill

As a response to my earlier landfill nature post (365-207), I thought I would show some slightly different landfill photos. I’m on a different site than the one from last week that’s not as “woodsy” as that one. There may be some nature around but I didn’t get a chance to explore the site much. Sorry about my 365 shot being…

365-212 Primary colors

With all of the running I’ve been doing this week it finally caught up to me. A little tired today, so, with the exception of doing a few errands for the coming week, I really didn’t feel like doing much today. The lawn is ugly because of all of the hot weather but I think it can survive another week…

365-211 Tal Farlow was a sign painter

Besides being an accomplished jazz guitarist, Tal Farlow retired to New Jersey to be a sign painter in the late 1950’s.  He was as good a painter as he was a guitarist and can be seen in action doing both in the excellent documentary, “Talmage Farlow“. I am sure he was better at spelling than whoever painted this sign! Pentax K20D, DA 55-300.…

365-210 One week later

Another day of traveling back home. On my way I visited the same place I took last Fridays daily photo. Like last Friday I didn’t have a photo for the day until stopping at the park since there is not much to shoot on a highway in the middle of the day.  I had to stop for gas anyway and it’s…

365-209 Horses, of course

I came out of my hotel this morning and saw these guys waiting in a trailer in the parking lot. It looked a little cramped in there,  I hope they had a good nights rest also.  Afterwards, before I set out, I discovered I had a half flat tire on my truck. A good way to start the day. But,…
