365-77 Another one just like the other one

Yet another day of not finding anything to shoot. A creative slump, I guess. Or maybe I’ve shot just about all there is to shoot around here. A change of scenery is needed, perhaps? That would be nice, I wouldn’t mind taking some palm tree pictures for a change. Okay, that’s not happening anytime soon, so for now you get…

365-75 Workin at the…

Took a few shots at a small, uhm…slightly weathered, manual car wash and took a few detail shots today. I’ll keep the text to a minimum today because, well, there’s not much to say. All with Pentax K20D, DA55-300. Red Brush 

365-74 Split wood – split tones

Another day of not shooting anything until late. This is a stump in my yard that I really need to get rid of someday. It’s just rotting and I always hit it with my lawn mower, chipping away at it a little at a time. None of these shots are award winners technically. I had to use a high ISO and…

365-73 Plumbing and beer

I had some plumbing to do at home today. I never look forward to plumbing projects because it seems the simplest tasks always turn into major projects. Most of the parts you buy at the big home stores, such as Lowes and Home Depot, is cheap garbage. They all sell the same stuff for the same prices so I don’t have…

365-72 A visit to Roberts House

Aaaargh, I don’t know why I keep losing ALL of my text after I publish a post. It’s getting aggravating. Okay, back to my story. I discovered this old house in a neighboring town that was constructed, I believe, in the late 18th/early 19th century. It’s called Roberts House. I don’t know what the historical significance of it is except that it…

365-71 Nice view from here

I was sitting in traffic at a red light when this big dog popped its head out a couple of cars in front of me. I happened to have my camera handy, so I grabbed a shot through my dirty windshield and into the bright late afternoon sun. No rule of thirds on this shot, within a second the dog went back…

365-70 Urban shooting

I saw this large sticker that was starting to peel off of a building and thought it could be interesting from a different angle. This is behind what was once a coffee shop. A little bit of urban art, I guess, in an alley. A rare sight where I live. even though my town has a few art galleries and…

365-69 Mellow Yellow

Yellow can be a bright cheerful color, especially after a drab winter. I didn’t head out to shoot yellow, or any other color, today. It’s still raining for the second day and I really didn’t feel like walking around and getting soaking wet so I tried to find subjects from my car. I took a shot of reflections while waiting…

365-68 Wet, rusty, and worn

If there’s anything there is no shortage of around here, it’s wet and rusty stuff. Rust because of all the industrial areas that at one time provided the economy in my town but now are closed and left to ruin. Wet because winter is ending, the snow is melting and it rains every other day now. Really pretty. 😉  So, just like all of my snow…

365-67 Made in the USA

I don’t often shoot the US flag specifically, but I was at an outlet center and saw this large flag they have on site backlit by the sun. It was one of those huge flags you often see at such places. I thought I would try a couple shots of it. I had my ISO set at 400 because I wanted…
