Got wood?

A couple of earthy, woody shots for today. I don’t think I’ll win any composition awards with these but I liked the general warmth of the photos. I processed the photos with a warming filter, which basically steers the color balance towards yellow. It’s a bit of an extreme shift, and one that wouldn’t work well in a lot of situations, but I think it…

What’s that white stuff?

It felt like winter around here again today, with the snow and colder temperatures and all. What’s up with that? I personally liked it but people get used to the mild winter and forget what winter is supposed to be like. I think the first thing they forget is how to drive in snow – but I’ll leave that for another…

I miss the snow

Here it is, the 1st of February, the middle of winter, and we have yet to have any appreciable snowfall. We have only had a couple of snow events so far this winter and together they only amounted to just a few inches, and then quickly melted within the next day or so after they occurred. Mostly it has just…

3 days down (visiting Dawes Arboretum)

I got hit with another cold/fever for the second time in a month. That’s highly unusual for me as I rarely get sick that often. Last months illness only lasted for about 36 hours, but his time around was a little heavier and knocked me down for the past three days. With another week to go before I start my new…

The color works…but

Yes, I’m still digging into my archives because I haven’t been out shooting for the past week. It seems like forever to me but I’m sure most readers don’t even notice. Looking at photos from this time last year, I noticed that we had a nice covering of snow which, of course, makes things somewhat pretty around here. When there is no snow…

Cold and Hot – a momentary lapse of reason

I’m still not back into full-fledged shooting yet, instead taking the time to clear up some personal and home tasks. But the urge to photograph has been rumbling (I think that’s what that was) and I thought I would poke around in my kitchen this evening. These results are what happens when you look around in the silverware strainer in the sink with…

A few that didn’t make the cut. Vol.2

Good thing I’m enjoying a few days off from taking photos because it’s not a very pleasant time of year around here for photography. In the mean time I’m posting a few photos from the past year that didn’t make it into my blog. Just like the photos in Volume 1, some are good, some are just OK, some I’ve posted on Flickr at…

A few that didn’t make the cut. Vol. 1

I’m enjoying a few days off from taking photos to get some things done around the house. One of the things I’m doing is organizing my hard drives, which are loaded with too many photos from last year, so I thought I would post a few photos from the past year that didn’t make it into my blog. Some are good, some are just OK,…

365-365 See you in 2012

I’ll start off with the photo today. I thought a festive shot would be a fun way to wrap up my 365 project. I know a lot of people like to show all of their prints sprawled out on the floor and spelling out 365 or they do a montage of the years pics, but I thought what’s more fun then a cake? And…

365-364 In the Pink

I’m feeling better then I did yesterday, although I’m not at 100% yet.  Because of that I’m staying around the house today, just resting up. So it became obvious that I would have to find something in the house to shoot for my 365 image. I’m never too good at the still life thing, mostly because I lack any kind…
