Different camera. Just a different take on the blossoms I showed the other day in black and white. This shot was taken with a different camera but at the same place. I went with a completely different processing on this one though. I liked the brightness of it and the muted tones. Completely different from the heavy contrast of the…

What lurks down below
I spotted these graffiti ghost a few weeks ago and thought I would like to get a photo of them. Unfortunately every time I am in the area it’s usually the middle of the day. I shot this photo close to high noon, not the best time of day for photography. The ideal time would have been very or morning…
Watch those auto levels
One of the first things I do when I open a RAW file in Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) is hit the “auto” button which corrects the levels to what it thinks is right for the image. Most times it does a good job and I only have to make a few tweaks on the sliders before opening the file in…
Enchanting camper
When I originally spotted this camper, I was drawn to its aqua blue trim along the top, in addition to its condition and placement within the scene. And it does, in fact, make a nice color photo as the wooded area is a nice bright green. But after processing, I began to think that it would do well as a black and white…
Crickets chirping….
…..is what I hear around here lately. It’s been a bit lonely with the lack of visitors but I have no one to blame but myself. My photography output is way down since last years 365 project. Plus I find that, without the pressure of having to do a daily photo, I don’t push myself to get out there and shoot. I…
Scenes from a dirt road
I found myself on a narrow dirt road today, hugging along the hills of West Virginia. I don’t know if it was the worlds roughest road, but it was pretty rough. I had to chug along at a slight crawl trying to avoid whatever ruts and sharp rocks I encountered yet I still got tossed around in my truck. Throw in…
Seriously? More blossoms? Yes, in the pink!
I hate to bore you with more spring blossom photos but I saw these today and thought that my southern hemisphere readers might enjoy them. I didn’t set out to take any spring pictures today but I was taking some architecture photos in town today, just trying out the Olympus camera some more, and spotted this flowering tree near the county courthouse.…
Wide appeal
As I mentioned in a previous post, I have been looking for a smaller travel camera that can still deliver quality photos, and I’ve thought of trying the Olympus E-PM1. I have used one before and have published photos here that I thought looked pretty good. I still need to make some large prints to see how they look but,…
Back to the blues
I don’t have a whole lot to say about this photo. It’s just one of those things you spot while you’re out and about and think that it may be worth getting a shot of. One of those things that just catches your eye, for some reason. The reason here, of course, is the abundance of blue. Plus the fact…
I forgot about this one
I was talking about taking the tulip photos in the last post and I forgot that I also shot some magnolia blossoms. I think they are my favorite spring blossom, mainly because they are so huge and I like the way that the petals fall in different directions. From a photographic standpoint you can get a nice variety of blossoms…
