I didn’t get out to shoot much today. So, I thought I would shoot…..a brick. I have a pile of bricks in my yard and this one on top attracted my eye. I liked the holes and shadow. I used a touch of orton for effect but I have a straight version which I’ll throw on here along with a different angle.…

365-32 All about texture
I took a quick trip through the cemetery thinking I would get some kind of goose or duck picture at the pond. That didn’t work out so I drove throught looking for something interesting. I liked the moss on this statue. I’ve been trying not to do too many texture overlay images lately but I think it really enhanced the…
365-29 Made it to the porch
Sticking around the house today. I didn’t really feel like setting up a tripod to shoot something inside so I went out to the yard to see if I could find a shot. Lots of snow still around so most things are covered up. We have this straw broom on the porch and I like the texture of it. Since…

Coming up with new ideas everyday is a challenge. Driving around aimlessly looking for photos can get tiring and expensive. So when I stay around the house, as today, I look around at really small things. Thanks to my wife for suggesting the peacock feather. Pentax K20D, reversed Super-Takumar 50mm Eyelight

Winter around here just seems to lend itself to textural photos. Everything is a bit drab. Nature is idle, just waiting for new life in spring. I have to thank SkeletalMess again for the textures. I don’t have the stock or inclination to make my own just yet. Pentax K20D, DA17-70 Branch

I received a reversing ring, that I plan on using with my Takumars, in the mail today. Just trying some macros around the house. Too lazy to set up a tripod (which now I realize will be necessary), I was using high ISO settings in the low light. The colors were in this shot of a fork but I added multiple texture…

A rural looking winter scene today. It’s actually beside a fairly well traveled road. There’s no where to pull over so I had to stop, shoot, and go. I originally was thinking this as a black and white with texture but I liked the colors better. I used some slightly modified Shadowhouse Creations textures. Pentax K20D, DA17-70 The Rising

I stopped at a store today and saw this coin operated horse peaking out from the corner. The original straight shot was nice but I thought it needed a little something extra. I processed in PSE6 with Topaz Adjust for slight detail enhancement then added some Shadowhouse Creations textures to liven up the gray background. Pentax K20D, DA55-300 No Riders on the Painted…

I’ve seen this old Lincoln before and thought that I would get a picture of it someday. The snow added a nice element so I thought I would give it a try today. It’s right behind a locked gate so I had to hold the camera over the fence and shoot blindly. I like the unusual perspective. Processed in PSE6…

Today’s pic. With about an inch of snow on the ground, I went the cliche shot route. I added a few of the SkeletalMess textures and converted to b&w with Nik Silver Efex. Pentax K20D, DA17-70mm
