365-107 A few from around town

Took a drive around town (as usual) and took a few shots. Again, nothing overly creative but I hope you enjoy them nonetheless. My 365 shot is at Washington and Jefferson College campus. It’s part of my quest to find spring color. The black and white is at the town park. You can see why I zoomed through there! The…

365-106 When there’s nothing to shoot…

…you shoot nothing.  The lighting this afternoon was incredible. After the rain cleared there were still dramatic clouds and coupled with the late afternoon sun it was simply beautiful. That would all be cool if I lived in the shadows of a nice mountain range or the desert southwest and I could capture some sweeping landscape shot. Instead I was…

365-105 I am not a lawn person

A little diversion from the usual shots. I don’t like to grass but it’s one of those things that has to be done starting around this time of year until October or November. Today is my first cut.  I was trying to hold out but it just got too long, in spots at least. Beyond cutting my grass, I like to…

365-104 If you just shoot it you don’t have to remember

I spotted this old Impala sticking out of the garage a few months ago. I meant to get a shot of it but simply forgot about it until today when I was driving through the intersection of the road it was on and seen it. I didn’t want to forget about it again so I drove around the block and snapped a…

365-103 There may be more

I may go overboard on some flower shots this spring because the winter felt so drab. For fans of my grunge work, don’t worry, I’ll return to it soon ;-). There will be plenty of grungy and gritty subjects to shoot in the future but I want to take a break and show a little beauty while it’s all to…

365-102 So much rain, so little time

It just rained and rained today so I didn’t feel like taking any outdoor photos. Plus I had a training event at “work” that took until after dark so I snapped a shot in the parking garage on my way out. Sorry. Parking Garage    

365-101 How green is my grass

We had a morning rain and since I have some things to do later and won’t be able to go out shooting, I thought I would try some macro shots in my yard using my reversed Super-Takumar lenses. This particular shot was done with my 28mm Tak at around F5.6. Trying to shoot raindrops on grass is a little tricky when…

365-100 Safari adventures

A few animal shots for today. I was driving along a rural road and spotted some ostriches in a field. I guess in some places that wouldn’t be unusual but in Pennsylvania, it’s not something you come across very often. They obviously belonged to someone and if I would have seen anyone around I would have asked if I could take…

365-99 Some like it hot

I’ll keep the description short today. I was thinking of just getting a picture around the house for my 365 today but after looking around, I thought maybe I should take a quick drive to see if there’s anything to shoot.  Heading out in a different direction than I normally would, I saw some smoke as I was driving down the…

365-97 I prefer to be artsier

My last few photos have been a little dull and gloomy, so I’m going the traditional spring flowers route for a slight change. These are pretty straightforward shots of pretty ordinary flowers so I apologize for that. I like to take my time when shooting flowers to come up with an artful approach to the shot. These were shot at…
