When I parked my car at a restaurant today, this was the scene in front of me. There is a small bank up towards the tree which exaggerated the shadow. I placed the camera near the ground in the shadow and shot blindly towards the tree. A case where an articulating LCD would come in handy. As a matter of fact, I…

365-85 Still hanging in there for 365
Some subdued color for today. Bases for birdbaths at a lawn ornament business. I like the “southwest” feel to the shot. The store, an old barn, was actually closed and I shot this through the fence. I’ll throw up a couple extra shots I took there also. All with Pentax K20D and DA55-300 Bases

365-37 Big Fan
Since its Super Bowl Sunday, I thought I would do a theme shot for the day. Living near Pittsburgh, displays like this are not unusual. It doesn’t take being in the Super Bowl to find houses decorated with Steelers paraphernalia, sometimes even year round. Oh, and somebody needs to tell Wiz Khalifa it’s “black and gold” not “black and yellow”. This…
