A cloudy and occasionally rainy day in contrast to yesterday. It was still overly humid though. But I did find some sunshine in this crop of sunflowers. This is the same place I shot the “Chicken People” image earlier in the year. I also played around with a few texture images. It’s still a holiday weekend so I’m keeping the…

365-246 Urban shots on a hot day
Yikes, it was around 100ºF outside today. I started the day trying to relax and doing a little shopping and lunch with my wife. After a late lunch, since we were in the area, I thought to take a quick ride through the Oakland area of Pittsburgh. Home of Schenley Park, Carnegie Museum and Library, Carnegie-Mellon University and the University of…
365-244 Hmm, took a while
It’s been a long evening. After going out to shoot some dusk photos and then heading back to the hotel after dinner I realized the batteries in my wireless mouse were dead. As I mentioned in a previous post, trying to process photos on a laptop without a real mouse isn’t an easy experience. So I ran over to Wal-Mart because it was too…
365-242 Dumpster dive
I’m not diving into dumpsters but I always find them as a good source of color, texture and abstract lines. The more beat-up and left to rot the better. Like yesterday, I took this photo during the day as part of my “shoot anything and everything” strategy. Even when I have a few shots from the day, I usually like…
365-242 It’s a process
In another processing mood today. I took a few passing shots during the day and instead of going out after work and trying to find a photo I decided to play around with what I already had. The mantis I saw when I stopped to wash my truck this evening. It was hanging out on a window frame near the…
365-240 Look closely
One thing I like to do sometimes is look at photos I have taken at or near 100% and see if I can find pictures within the picture. When I come across what could be a potential composition I have to decide if a crop is viable or if I have to try a re-shoot. A re-shoot isn’t always possible if it’s a…
365-230 Relax
After my vehicle fiasco yesterday and finding out what the monetary damage ($!!!) is today, I thought it best to take things in stride. After securing a rental vehicle and taking care of business with my employer, it was nice to visit a small park and enjoy the nature a little. A nice calming effect. With todays 365 photo I went…
365-226 Feeling textural
I took a photo of my neighbors flowers on my way out today just to have a shot “in the can.” After I ran some errands I uploaded the pics to see if I had to go back out and do some shooting. When I saw this particular image I thought it would make a good texture shot. I browsed…
365-221 Decisions, decisions
I went back and forth on two totally different photos to use for my 365 today I’ll post both photos here and let you decide if I made the right choice. In the end, the warm color of the rusty metal won out. Though I do like the graphic simplicity of the window shot and I went back and forth between…
365-210 One week later
Another day of traveling back home. On my way I visited the same place I took last Fridays daily photo. Like last Friday I didn’t have a photo for the day until stopping at the park since there is not much to shoot on a highway in the middle of the day. I had to stop for gas anyway and it’s…
