In my never-ending quest to get out and purposely do more photography I have been failing miserably. Between work and just general household time I haven’t been able to make a day of just shooting and it’s been frustrating me. As a guitar player I know that the more I play, the better I get. The same goes for photography.…

Keeping with the landscape theme
I thought I would post another landscape type photo since it kind of fits in with the mood of the last photo. Though in this case I have the added element of water, which makes for a nice tidy reflection. I titled it “Tiger Lines” because that is what the pattern reminded me of, color aside. Or maybe because I just ordered…
Fall is just about fallen
And with that it’s time to look forward to winter. Ooh, can’t wait. I’m a fan of snow but most of winter in this part of the country is just a dull, rainy/freezing rain, cold, muddy mess. My work takes me outdoors a lot and when you are working outdoors almost every day you realize how few truly “nice” days there…
There for a reason
I saw this farm fence today and I thought the location of it warranted a photo. The fence itself is nothing unusual, just the normal post and wire ensemble, but as you can tell, the background sure looked crazy. The fence is on the side of a country road and immediately behind it is a ravine, where the large, scraggly tree…
Not staying within the lines
It looks like the fall color is coming to an end soon, judging by what I saw today while driving around. That’s too bad, because I found a new life with it after getting bored taking “normal” shots, I started to experiment. I found the color a nice backdrop, and sometimes even the “subject”, for my multi-exposure photos. Considering the…
Trees seem to work
In my continuing multi-exposure experiments I have come to the conclusion that trees seem to work best for the technique. I was out in the park today and tried to incorporate other elements into the photos but I found that things with harder, straighter edges don’t seem to work as well. Also I need to be somewhat of a distance…
Zeroing in
A continuation of my multi-exposure experimenting. I’m sticking with the autumn theme for now until I can get out to shoot a better variety of subjects. I have ideas at least, if I can only find the scenarios I have in my head. I want to incorporate more defined elements, not so much nature, to give a little bit of a…
Making an impression
In order to get my artistic mojo back I’ve been trying to get outside of my own box. One thing that I have been playing around with lately is multiple exposures. As I mentioned in a previous post, my camera has the ability to take up to 9 exposures on one file and I have been trying to find some suitable…
Drive-by autumn
So, getting back to the autumn picture thing. I had all intentions of not trying to capture the fall season on camera anymore but I kept seeing colorful trees everywhere today. With the gray cloudy skies the colors seemed to pop more than usual. But since I was working today I couldn’t spend time taking photos so these are just…
I think I’m done with photography
I’m done with photography of the autumn season at least. Trying to get interesting photos of fall is always difficult, in my opinion, (unless, of course, you live in the Rockies or New England) and with the lackluster display this year I’m not going to purposely attempt to document it anymore. Of course I am not a “nature photographer” by…
