Wheeling feeling

Here are few leftover photos I took in Wheeling, West Virginia yesterday. Some good, some bad, some indifferent. Click on pics for best view

I took a photo of my neighbors flowers on my way out today just to have a shot “in the can.” After I ran some errands I uploaded the pics to see if I had to go back out and do some shooting. When I saw this particular image I thought it would make a good texture shot. I browsed…

365-225 Here’s lookin at ya!

I took a stroll through downtown Wheeling, West Virginia today. It’s an easy drive from where I live but I don’t make it over that way very often. I will get try to visit it more in the future though because it has quite a lot of interesting architecture and urban details. I spotted these characters in a second floor window .…

365-224 Nature is nice

I know I have been shooting creatures lately and while it has been fun it has also been a challenge. Trying to get artsy compositions of animals and insects is really difficult. So I’ll probably go back to normal subject matter after today. I much prefer shooting architectural details, old things and abstracts. It helps that stuff doesn’t move when…

365-223 Tweet

A tweeter not a Twitter. In past posts I mentioned that I am generally not a nature photographer, in the wildlife sense. Sure I shoot flowers and the occasional landscape but shooting animals is not ny forte. First of all, I don’t have the gear for it. Shooting birds, for instance, takes some big telephoto lenses and lots of patience to…

365-222 Blue

I am not blue, but I like blue. Blue is cool. So are the blues. Of course, since I am a guitarist, I like blues guitar music. I like all types of blues guitar; Texas, Hill Country, Chicago, Delta, British, jazz, acoustic, electric, etc., etc.. I also like guitarist who were inspired by the blues but aren’t necessarily labeled as blues…

365-220 Whew!

It’s been a really long day! Up way too early, put some miles on the road, even more hours on the job, then tried to do some photography along with a little exploring of my environment. Throw in some software issues and working on the laptop again and I’m surprised I even managed to get a photo done. I’m going to…

365-219 The benefits of digital

Besides the fact that you can choose between black and white or color whenever you want or that you can shoot a wide variety of ISO’s to fit the situation, you can also go wild in processing a photo, if you choose. I probably wouldn’t normally choose to do such image manipulation but when your back is against the wall…

365-218 Stylin’

Ah, the landau top. A wonderful exercise in automotive design. Throw it on a big, wide Buick and you’ll be the talk of the town. I remember doing some car detailing when I was younger and almost all of the cars had vinyl tops. Reconditioning a vinyl top really wasn’t any fun but when the owner saw the gleaming white…

365-217 Some color for a change

I haven’t really done any bold color abstracts in a while so, although this wasn’t the photo I planned on using, it won out. I was in a landfill again (yet another one) and this is leachate stained plastic liner. In real life it’s just a typical sight you see on a landfill but I just seemed to notice another dimension in…
