365-16

Watching too much playoff football this weekend (go Steelers!) instead of finding photo subjects. I’m still holding off taking a picture of my coffee though. Out to the porch and captured some ice hanging from the downspout. There’s a bit of a creepy face in there somewhere at least. Pentax K20D, DA17-70 Center Ice

Guitar Pics – moving camera technique

Just thought I would post another picture I took today that I like. I have a large glass that’s full of guitar pics of various size, thickness and materials. They add a lot of tonal options on both acoustic and electric guitar. This is a long exposure where basically I framed the shot, snapped the shutter and moved the camera…

I didn’t really find much to work with today. I got up late, only went to the grocery store and didn’t see much on my way there and back. My wife has a large collection of angel items and I shot this with my Super-Takumar 50mm. Nik b&w conversion, layers to return gold to angel and finally a SkeletalMess texture to add…

A rural looking winter scene today. It’s actually beside a fairly well traveled road. There’s no where to pull over so I had to stop, shoot, and go. I originally was thinking this as a black and white with texture but I liked the colors better. I used some slightly modified Shadowhouse Creations textures. Pentax K20D, DA17-70 The Rising

365-11

I stopped at a store today and saw this coin operated horse peaking out from the corner. The original straight shot was nice but I thought it needed a little something extra. I processed in PSE6 with Topaz Adjust for slight detail enhancement then added some Shadowhouse Creations textures to liven up the gray background. Pentax K20D, DA55-300 No Riders on the Painted…

My 365 project

Welcome to my new blog. I hope you enjoy visiting often. I’ll start off with showing a few pictures from a 365 photo project I’m attempting for 2011 that I started on January 1st. I hope I can keep it up. I’m going to try to be creative somewhat and not simply show facets of my daily life. I’ll also try…
