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…
365-210 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…
365-92 Well, I could tell that they was mine…
…from the oil and gasoline – ZZ Top “Blue Jean Blues” I spotted this glove in a picture I took the other day of the oil tanks and knew I had to try to get a picture of it. I went out today specifically to shoot it and I just beat a heavy rain by seconds after I got the…
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…
Learning curve
Since I’m working on my 365 photo project this year, I find myself out shooting more than past winters. The area I live in doesn’t have grand vistas to photograph – no snow-covered mountains – no charming rural scenes. There is a lot of rural areas, of course, but “charming” isn’t a word I would use to describe them. We don’t have…

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
365-15
I didn’t really find much to work with today. I got up late, only went to the grocery store and didn’t see much on my way there and back. My wife has a large collection of angel items and I shot this with my Super-Takumar 50mm. Nik b&w conversion, layers to return gold to angel and finally a SkeletalMess texture to add…
365-14
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…
