Okay, it was dark already and I still hadn’t taken a picture for the day. While doing other things today, I just didn’t see any shots to take. Granted, I wasn’t looking too hard, so that may have been a factor. So, while I was at a shopping plaza in the evening, I spotted this cart against a post along…

365-65 Movin’ on
Number 65!! Only 300 more to go! 300?!! Yikes. Sticking around the house again today, which makes it tough to find photo subjects. I hope to get out and about more as the weather improves. I’m still layed off from my “normal” job, so I have plenty of time but no money. ;-( With gas prices rising, I have to…
365-63 Guitars and photography
I started this blog hoping I would talk about photography and guitars, the two things I enjoy. Well, the photography part has become a little overwhelming, mostly because of my 365 shots. I would like to write about guitars more and hopefully I’ll be able to get back on that track. I’m just not that good of a writer, so…
365-62 Same place, different day
I’m in a bit of a creative funk right now. Both artistically and technically. I’m just not finding shots that work and the few that I thought I would like suffered from bad technical skills. Mostly just too blurry from either camera shake or bad focusing. Some shots look good on the LCD but when I load them onto the…
365-61 Most interesting place in town
Took a drive through the cemetery, again, because there was absolutely NOTHING to shoot today, at least around where I live. Sure, it was a bright sunny day but that just highlighted how dirty and dull everything is this time of year. It says a lot about a place when the cemetery is the most interesting, photogenic place in town. …
365-60 Altered reality on a small scale
“Blessed are they who see beautiful things in humble places where other people see nothing.” – Camille Pissarro My shot for today is not an abstract macro flower shot, though that’s what it appears to be. It’s a glass of iced green tea with a lime. I shot with my reverse-mounted Super-Takumar 50mm. Light from the window backlit the tea and…
365-59 Bokeh, Topaz and Orton
Back to normal today, no more fun abstracts. My 365 shot is of some kind of pod on a tree next to my porch. There’s a busy street in the background so I used my Super-Takumar 50mm wide open at f/1.4 for limited depth. Due to the relatively boring subject, I decided to punch the color up a bit with Topaz…
365-58 A late one
12:02 AM. I guess I missed my post today by a few minutes. Well it’s late, so I’ll keep it short with a simple shot. Pentax K20D, DA17-70 White Wall Blue Sky Edited to add a shot from the other side:
365-57 Pittsburgh details
WordPress drives me crazy sometimes when I want to edit. I changed a photo and all of my text disappeared! Anyhow, I made a brief visit through downtown today. I just got to walk around a block and take a few snaps. For my 365 shot, “Levels“, I shot with a telephoto to compress the perspective a bit. I liked…
365-56 No extra effort award
For my 365 choice, I just liked the colors here, especially the gradation on the wall. I would have liked the shot to be a hair sharper but the light level was pretty low, considering the focal length. Plus a few of the shots could have benefited from a smaller aperture. I could have boosted the ISO more but I…
