The beginning of the end of my 365 project – the first of the final fifty images. It’s been fun but I can’t wait to take a break. Oh, I’ll keep shooting and posting, but probably closer to a few times a week, mostly if I have interesting images or stories. And I’ll keep dragging my camera around and trying…

365-308 This one is like the other
I took a photo on the job site today that reminded me of the photo I had in my infamous Freshly Pressed post (365-271) of a compactor on a slope. They were both shot in similar situations of late afternoon sunlight and shooting towards the slope. That photo was in black and white and even though I think this photo…
365-307 Finding things
If you read past posts you’ll see that I often talk about going out and looking for a photo subject. In fact there have been very few times where I had a predetermined subject in mind for the day. Most days I’m out there seeing what I can find. Occasionally I’ll just bump into something, shoot it, and think, “hmm,…
365-303 It’s still a sill
Heading out to take care of some business, I thought about going by the usual cemetery to find a photo. Instead I stopped by an old railroad station in town that is now being used for, I assume, storage by a cement company. I took some photos there earlier in the year (365-24) and I didn’t want to repeat those,…
365-301 Just junk
At least on the days where I don’t put much effort into getting a photo, I don’t mind having nothing to work with. I just took a few grab shots of junk while out running errands and I didn’t even do that well. Half of the shots were blurry due to camera movement. It was fairly dark and cloudy out…
365-280 October
I may as well stick to the seasonal theme today. October, fall, Halloween, or harvest – either way the overwhelming color is orange. Pumpkins, leaves, and sunsets all add to the “orangeness” of the season. I shot this dew covered spiderweb this morning and I originally thought to do a black and white image but, after a little experimentation, decided to…
365-279 Nothing really
I took a few sunrise photos this morning. I thought they looked good on the camera but after I viewed them on my monitor they just didn’t work for me. That happens. But I was intrigued by these dew covered twigs I captured. Just a grab shot really. They were backlit by the early sunrise. I’m glad I shot them as…
365-276 Since you’re there (a lesson)
One bad habit of mine that I’ve talked about in past posts is not exploring a location or subject to its full potential. There have been oftentimes, when viewing photos from a shoot, that, upon closer inspection, I think “aw, that would have been a nice detail to capture” or “why didn’t I try moving in/out/left/right?”. Because I usually like to work…
365-274 Up and down
Today ended on a bit of a sour note. I was off from work so I slept in and got up pretty late. It was all dark and rainy outside so I played guitar for a couple of hours. I’ve been working on learning all of David Gilmour’s Pink Floyd solos. I learned a few of them in the past…
365-251 Some things old
I just found myself shooting a bunch of old things today. Besides the door, which is I saw in an urban environment, everything else was taken at an outdoor display area at a local antique store. the store was closed and the items were behind a locked fence so getting any kind of composition was difficult at best. I stuck…
