I visited a different park today for a change of scenery. But considering the time of year and the mild temperatures, everything is a little drab and colorless. I decided to focus on smaller subjects, such as this small waterfall over a rock. I know the standard thing to do for such a shot is a long exposure to blur…

365-46 Parking garage bokeh
I didn’t really get out to shoot anything today as I was doing other things. This is a bokeh shot taken in a parking garage window with my Super-Takumar 50mm, wide open. I shot a few pictures while I was in the garage thinking I would look for shots later on but I never got to shoot anymore. So, tip No.1 for 365’ers, shoot…
365-45 On the street
I didn’t purposely avoid doing a Valentines theme for today but I thought there would be plenty of others covering that. So instead, a street picture for today. Not a cool city street shot taken with a Leica but a picture of a car on the street in a small town taken with a Lumix LX-3. Well, at least it has a Leica lens! I…
365-44 Backlight – day 2
Another backlighting picture today. My wife actually spotted this church steeple as we were driving by. The sunlight streaming through the stained glass cupola enhanced the bold colors and created a nice effect. Pentax K20D, DA17-70 Heavenly Light
365-43 Duck pond revisited
Another visit to the pond in the local cemetery today. It’s always a good place to get a shot and there’s always ducks, geese, turkeys and deer roaming around. I stuck with the ducks today. I had to deal with some lens flare in this shot and the sun is a little brighter than I would like, but “work with…
365-42 Weathered surface
I didn’t get out to shoot much today. So, I thought I would shoot…..a brick. I have a pile of bricks in my yard and this one on top attracted my eye. I liked the holes and shadow. I used a touch of orton for effect but I have a straight version which I’ll throw on here along with a different angle.…
365-41 My daily and some observations
I was driving past the local college when I saw these chairs on the campus. It was under 20°F, so I’m not surprised that any students were taking advantage of them. It will still be a couple of months yet before they get regular use. I used my Pentax K20D and DA55-300 lens. As far as my 365 project is going, I…
365-40 Cold facts
So you’re probably thinking, “David, ice AGAIN?” It has been a prominent subject of mine this winter but it’s the one thing I see when I look around. I wonder if people who live near the beach in a warm climate get tired of palm trees, sand, and surf pictures. I somehow doubt it. I actually wanted to try some processing options…
365-39 Kinetic star
A little sun for the day, in the form of a mobile hanging from my neighbor’s porch. It was snowing again today. Soon winter will be a distant memory and the sun in my pictures will be the real one. Processed with a touch of Topaz Adjust to punch up the color a bit. Pentax K20D, DA55-300 Going Mobile
365-38 British Steel
When I was younger I was a big fan of small European cars. I owned a Triumph and a Fiat at one time. Big American cars and trucks were the norm where I lived. I certainly liked American cars, especially muscle cars, but I loved driving the Euros. There is a “foreign” car parts dealer in an alley off of the main road in…
