My 365 shot is of action. Well, as much action as I usually shoot. I spotted these men working on the billboards near the highway while sitting at a traffic light. The sky behind them was fairly dark and dramatic from passing storms but I had to go around the block to get a good shot due to foreground clutter. When…

365-135 Things I’ve seen
Well, all of my daily posts are shots of things I’ve seen that day. So I guess today isn’t any different. I live in such a dynamic, colorful area that it’s easy to take wonderful photos. Okay, that was a joke. It’s actually difficult to take photos around here that are somewhat interesting to view. That’s why I try to…
365-133 When it rains, it rains
I really can’t think of a wetter spring in recent years. Almost every day, it seems, it’s raining or storming. The days in between are pretty decent though, so I can’t complain much. Besides running some errands, I basically stuck around the house today. I took the photo of the robin on my neighbors fence just to get my 365…
365-132 Move along, nothing to see here.
Surprise, the rain is back. Looks like another seven-day stretch. Had a nice hailstorm this afternoon and I took a shot of my windshield:-(. I know, I know – it’s lame, but it’s all I have right now. I also drove through the park and although there wasn’t much to shoot I took a few shots into the woods. I liked the…
365-123 Take green, add water
Surprise! It’s pouring down rain again today! Absolutely lovely! The bright side is, I guess, that it’s not snow. So I thought I may as well take advantage of the rain and use it creatively. After running some errands, my wife and I stopped for a drive-through dinner and parked my truck under a tree at the corner of the parking lot.…
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…
365-94 Have you ever seen the rain?
My wife and I were in a strip mall parking lot and had to wait out a heavy rainstorm while sitting in my truck. Well, we didn’t really have to wait it out because we had nothing we needed to do anyhow ;-). But I didn’t feel like driving through the thunderstorm, so we hung out and enjoyed a Starbucks. While waiting, I looked…
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…
365-64 Wet stuff
Another rainy day. I don’t mind it though. A couple of days of rain followed by some sun and things start getting a little brighter and colorful and, hopefully, a little cleaner and all traces of winter are gone. Rainy days do present some nice photo opportunities, IF you are somewhere where such opportunities exist. I would liked to have taken…
365-38 British Steel
When I was younger I was a big fan of small European cars. I owned a Triumph and a Fiat at one time. Big American cars and trucks were the norm where I lived. I certainly liked American cars, especially muscle cars, but I loved driving the Euros. There is a “foreign” car parts dealer in an alley off of the main road in…
