365-156 Just playin’ around

I saw this cherub figurine in a gift shop window and snapped a shot. I only took the one shot and didn’t think much of it when I did. The straight shot was decent enough but I thought I would throw a little processing fun in the works for a change. In Photoshop, I Did a Topaz Adjust layer and…

365-155 Roadside blunder

It was getting dark and I haven’t taken a single photo for the day yet. Not feeling like traveling too far from where I was I thought I would try some long exposure shots of highway traffic. I know, real original eh?  I thought I would be able to get a clear shot from the edge of a nearby supermarket parking…

365-154 Yes, actual people!

Regulars viewers know that it’s rare for me to show people pictures.  I don’t have anything against them, I just don’t normally try to take any. And when I do, I don’t think I bring anything new to the table, creatively. I’ll leave that to others. But today was the first day of the Three Rivers Arts Festival in downtown…

365-153 Another last minute shot

It’s been a really long and trying day. I was dealing with employment issues which I’ll discuss later. I didn’t get around to even thinking about a picture until near sundown. I happened to be near a park and pulled in just as the sun was filtering through the trees in the woods. I only had my DA55-300 and no tripod, so…

365-152 When all else fails…

…go for color. I was on the southside of Pittsburgh this afternoon and even though there is plenty of old architecture around I just wasn’t seeing anything. The bright sunlight was too harsh and when I looked in the shady areas everything looked kind of….well…neat and clean. Nice, but not good for photos! So when I saw this brightly painted and weathered…

365-151 Train Train

A few details from down by the tracks in Arden. All with Pentax K20D  and DA17-70 or Super-Takumar 50mm. X Factor            

365-150 Total originality

Lets see..Memorial Day holiday…American flag…may as well go with the standard title too. Well at least I found an old flag, this one flying in front of some type of arts and craft store that was closed. I shot it backlit by the sun somewhat using my Super-Takumar 50mm at f/2.8. I used the Tak thinking I could blur out…

365-148 Speaking of crows

I took a very nice picture of my neighbors roses today. My thought was to use it for my 365 shot. That was until I parked my truck in a shopping center parking lot next to someones half eaten burrito. There were some small birds munching on a tortilla chip, which was amusing enough, but they soon got chased away…

365-147 Scary scarecrows

Well since few people seemed interested in my cat pictures 😉 yesterday , I’ll try something a little more funky today. In the midst of an affluent suburban area and across the street from a major shopping mall is a farm. I’ve taken a few pictures there before over the winter.  The scarecrows were a bride and groom but driving by today I…
