Good thing I’m enjoying a few days off from taking photos because it’s not a very pleasant time of year around here for photography. In the mean time I’m posting a few photos from the past year that didn’t make it into my blog. Just like the photos in Volume 1, some are good, some are just OK, some I’ve posted on Flickr at…

365-361 Take a bad shot…
…and make it badder. My apologies to the Beatles This is really a grab shot. Taken out of my windshield while driving through town. It was incredibly dark and raining constantly all day which thwarted me from going on any photo journeys. I did go out to run some errands though and took a quick spin through town to see if I…
365-355 kiss
I’m keeping it simple today, both photographically and in text. It’s just one of those kind of days. As usual I took a variety of photos today but most of them were just test shots with my lens that just came back from repair. It works fine but it was tough to take anything worthwhile today, being dark and rainy…
It’s bokeh time!
After I did my 365 shot today the rain changed over to snow. I thought that would be a good time to drag out the Super-Takumar 50mm lens and take a few wide open bokeh shots. These photos were taken behind a shopping plaza. Enjoy!
365-341 A stop on the sidewalk
I took todays photos here in town. It was another dark and rainy/snowy day so I didn’t want to venture off pavement any. I was off work again because of the weather so I could roam a little. Usually that’s a good thing, having time to shoot during the day, but because it was so dark it didn’t really make…
365-326 Wet and wild
Wild color that is. Another one of my “shoot through a rainy window” photos. This is a roll of color coded conduit or fiber optic cable at a construction area. I didn’t have to work today because of the rain yet I still ended up taking a construction photo! In this case the “construction site” is a large office/manufacturing/retail/golfing/dining/etc. complex that is…
365-320 When it’s still raining…
…stay home. I received a lens today that I’m going to give a try. A Pentax DA 18-135 WR lens. My DA 17-70 has had the focus lock issues at the telephoto end and I’m finally getting tired of dealing with it. So I’ll try this lens to see if it works for me and then decide if I want to…
365-275 One stop potpourri
Three days and counting – it’s still raining! Plus it’s been getting colder. It’s really feeling like autumn around here but it will still be a few weeks before it really looks like it. Just like spring flowers, I’m trying to capture fall color whenever I get a chance. At least that is my intention. I can get easily distracted and…
365-262 Wrong place
It seems that every time I see a rainbow and want to take a photo of it I am in the most un-photogenic places. Todays photo was taken in a mini-mart parking lot as I stopped for a coffee this morning. I may have been able to drive to a better location but it was a fleeting moment so I thought…
365-227 Let’s review
Looking back at the past few weeks worth of photos, I really think I’m all over the place a little too much. I thought I would surely have a consistent style and rhythm down by now and this daily shot thing would be a breeze, right? Wrong….well, in a way. Although I still don’t see a style emerging, I do…
