365-300 The colors of the season

Another rainy day filled with travel. Although I was on the highway, I managed to grab todays 365 photo during a stop for gas somewhere in West Virginia.  I saw the scene right before I exited and was glad to find an easy vantage point. I picked this photo because it’s rare that I do a straight landscape photo. I don’t…

365-298 Just seeing

The photos today are just things I saw. I guess most photography is just that – things you see. Of course sometimes it may be things that the camera saw. A telephoto can compress distance that would be tough for you to see, or not think of seeing, without it. The same can be said for extreme wide-angle or macro lenses.…

365-296 Time for time

Continuing my time of just relaxing at home. I’m heading back out of town for work tomorrow so I didn’t want to drive around any today.  I saw the sunlight from a window lighting a clock in my dining room and tried a few shots with my Super-Takumar 50mm lens. Upon viewing the results I thought of a SkeletalMess Post Card texture that I saw…

365-295 Three of one

It was almost dark and I didn’t have a photo for the day. My wife and I were out for a little shopping and dinner and my mind was more on that then taking a photo. I have to be careful to not let the 365 thing drive me crazy and need to realize I must have a life also! I did try…

365-294 Make a note

One of those days where I didn’t feel like heading out for a photo. I got to enjoy playing my guitar today and just relaxing. So instead of looking for a subject I thought I would make one. It’s a rare event that I try still life photos, mostly because I lack any proper “studio” gear. Regardless I decided to…

365-293 Let’s keep it simple

I am back home again. Hopefully I can get caught up on some things while I’m here. My day consisted of watching it rain and then driving home on the highway. Although I sort of kept an eye out for a photo, I didn’t find anything of interest. Well, I did see some nice autumn views when driving through the mountains…

365-292 “It’s for an art project”

As I was taking some photos of a building today, a woman came out of a door that I just shot and said “may I ask what are you taking pictures for?” I replied, matter of factly, “it’s for an art project!” She stared back blankly, followed by a brief silence and then muttered “Hmm……..OK.” I use the “art project” reply…

365-291 Pardon the interruption

It was another day of traveling back to Charleston for work and being at work until nearly dark. Throw in simply being a bit tired from my wacky work schedule and it’s a recipe for disaster, photographically speaking. I absolutely couldn’t find much to shoot today. And what I did, I didn’t do well. I did get to shoot some…

365-290 Turn around

For the second day in a row I have a photo of an old structure. Whereas yesterdays barn was a structure I was familiar with, I just discovered this house today. At lunch time from a project near Wheeling I thought I would explore a road I haven’t been on. Checking the map on my phone I saw that it…

365-289 Passing by

I must have passed by this barn a zillion times in my travels. It sits along a four-lane road in the middle of commercial and residential developments. I assume eventually it will disappear so I thought I should get a photo before it’s too late. The lighting seemed nice today and I was able to easily get a photo. I…
