This is a rose at my neighbor’s house. It’s the last one remaining of the season, still hanging in there. I didn’t want such a tight crop but there were too many distractions in the background which wouldn’t have helped the photo any. So I went with a close-up and add a few textures in post. I compared the straight and…

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,…
365-301 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…
365-296 Time for time
Continuing my time of just relaxing at home. I’m heading back out of town for work tomorrow so I didn’t want to drive around any today. I saw the sunlight from a window lighting a clock in my dining room and tried a few shots with my Super-Takumar 50mm lens. Upon viewing the results I thought of a SkeletalMess Post Card texture that I saw…
365-292 “It’s for an art project”
As I was taking some photos of a building today, a woman came out of a door that I just shot and said “may I ask what are you taking pictures for?” I replied, matter of factly, “it’s for an art project!” She stared back blankly, followed by a brief silence and then muttered “Hmm……..OK.” I use the “art project” reply…
365-291 Pardon the interruption
It was another day of traveling back to Charleston for work and being at work until nearly dark. Throw in simply being a bit tired from my wacky work schedule and it’s a recipe for disaster, photographically speaking. I absolutely couldn’t find much to shoot today. And what I did, I didn’t do well. I did get to shoot some…
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…
365-274 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…
365-236 Accidental theme
I know I spoke of wanting to do a set of photos with a theme but that’s not what I planned for today. I didn’t get out until late to take any photos but it was still sunny and clear and I really didn’t feel like taking any normal photos. So I thought I would go to a nearby park with…
