Coincidence?

As I previously mentioned, I am redecorating some rooms in my house. After almost completing the dirty work of repairing the plaster walls and applying texture I went to purchase paint at Lowes yesterday. I already had a color picked out but as I was looking at the paint color palette brochures, I was surprised by the cover image on one of…

365-332 Some time in the digital darkroom

As my 365 project is winding down I find that I’m wanting to experiment more with image processing. I mean, it is digital, I’m not trying to fool anybody that I’m out there shooting Velvia. With the exception of my textured images, most photos I try to process rather straightforward. Occasionally I’ll veer off the chart when I want a…

365-311 One more

I know I did the mid-autumn color post a few days ago but I couldn’t resist one more photo. This big leaf landed on this vine during it’s descent and was backlit by the late afternoon sun. It really glowed and easily caught my eye. Should be one of the last nature photos of any color that I take this year…

Some Autumn Love

Once that initial blast of autumn color is over, it seems people forget about the nature part of fall. The rest of the season means football and the upcoming holidays. So I just wanted to show some love for the second month of autumn. These were all taken in a patch of woods with late afternoon sun backlighting the leaves. The photos are…

365-295 Three of one

It was almost dark and I didn’t have a photo for the day. My wife and I were out for a little shopping and dinner and my mind was more on that then taking a photo. I have to be careful to not let the 365 thing drive me crazy and need to realize I must have a life also! I did try…

365-287 Splendor

The creativity is just taking a nose dive lately. Maybe I’m a little burnt from trying the every day photo thing. Of course, I don’t have long to go and I’ll keep it up but it’s wearing a little. It’s not that I’m not seeing potential photos, I do, but I’m not being able to take any. I often see…

365-285 Zzzz

Back home again. It’s been a long day with work and traveling so I’m just going to post and run tonight. I’ll leave you with some autumn reflections. Pentax K20D, DA17-70. Edit: Looking at the photo today after getting some sleep, I think I need to tone down the saturation a bit. That blue is a little too bold. Note…

365-277 Reflecting time

I’ll keep the chatter to a minimum today because I just want to take a break. I really need to do some adjustments on my guitars and change some strings. Plus just working on some songs and relaxing. I also want to visit a few sites of the fellow bloggers who stopped by here. So I’ll leave you with a…

365-275 One stop potpourri

Three days and counting – it’s still raining! Plus it’s been getting colder. It’s really feeling like autumn around here but it will still be a few weeks before it really looks like it. Just like spring flowers, I’m trying to capture fall color whenever I get a chance. At least that is my intention. I can get easily distracted and…

365-270 No rush

Although there are signs that the seasons are changing, it will still be about another month before it really looks like autumn around here. I hope I can do the season justice in the coming weeks. Last year, I had some camera gear in for service right at the peak time and it was tough to watch the colors go…
