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

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…

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…

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

We are getting a little more snow today in southwest PA. Driving around town I spotted this railing and snow-covered steps in front of a church. I thought I would try a little more “normal” shot today. I was thinking black and white when I shot it, visualizing a high contrast “abstract” street type shot. I’m not sure if I succeeded…
A few more shots from yesterday
Just posting a few more shots I did yesterday. All of these photos seem like they were taken in a rurual area. Actually, this is a farm in the middle of an upscale suburban neighborhood, right across the street from a large shopping mall. I did various processing on the photos, using what I thought was best for the shots.…

Winter around here just seems to lend itself to textural photos. Everything is a bit drab. Nature is idle, just waiting for new life in spring. I have to thank SkeletalMess again for the textures. I don’t have the stock or inclination to make my own just yet. Pentax K20D, DA17-70 Branch

Out shopping today instead of shooting. I saw this balloon on the ceiling at a mall, two stories above the children’s play area. Had to do a little work in PSE6 with curves, contrast, etc. to get it looking halfway nice. Still a little noisy but not too bad. Shot with the Lumix LX-3. Toy Go Bye-bye

Experimenting with macro again. I took even more pictures of ice today but tried to avoid selecting yet another ice shot for my 365. The “moon” in this shot is actually a small crystal “switch”, about 3-4mm in size, on a small 4″ glass electric guitar figurine. The “stars” are, of course, dust! Shot with my 28mm Super-Takumar lens reverse mounted and Sunpak flash.…
