I just found myself shooting a bunch of old things today. Besides the door, which is I saw in an urban environment, everything else was taken at an outdoor display area at a local antique store. the store was closed and the items were behind a locked fence so getting any kind of composition was difficult at best. I stuck…

365-250 And so it goes
Sigh, these low uncreative periods are tough to weather through. Maybe not so much for you, the viewer, but I find them rough. I like when I have ideas in my head of where to go, what to shoot, and how to shoot it. Life is good then, photographically speaking. But in times like this I am like a zombie, walking…
365-238 (the actual one)
I see I misnumbered yesterdays post. It has been corrected for those that are keeping score or at least counting down until I stop this madness. For photo 238 I took a spin through the county fairgrounds to see what was going on. I missed the actual county fair last week because of scheduling and assorted other goings on. Thinking I would…
365-230 Relax
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…
365-195 Another visit to the fairgrounds
I thought I would visit the local fairgrounds again today. I was able to explore a little before preparations begin for the annual county fair next month. I decided to only use my Super-Takumar 50mm lens on my Pentax K20D. I am also still experimenting with Nik Color Efex so I am using it often before the trial runs out. Enjoy! Click on…
365-192 Takumar at f1.4
I drove through the city park today right after a rain storm. It was a good time to be there as it was practically empty. The light level was still low so I thought I would shoot a few photos with my Super-Takumar 50mm wide open at f1.4. Too bad there isn’t any real subject matter there to take advantage of…
365-191 Hangin’ at the courthouse
Well I wasn’t really hanging out (although there are some questionable characters who do) but just stopped by for a few photos. Sundays are a nice time to check out some of the architecture around the downtown area because there are few people milling about. I thought I would go onto the steps of the courthouse and get a different…
365-189 Keep it rolling
I don’t know why I found yesterdays post still in the draft stage. I know I hit publish and I viewed the final post. Crazy. I couldn’t resist another slow shutter shot today. Actually I would have liked a slower shutter speed on this shot but it was still pretty bright out even using a polarizer, a ND4X filter, and…
365-185 Hmmm, what can I shoot today?
The 4th of July in the USA. Besides hotdogs the usual subject to photograph is fireworks. This is the first time I ever bothered to shoot fireworks in about twenty years. the last fireworks photos I took were on Kodachrome 64 at the city of Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh still puts on an impressive display but I stuck around the small town…
365-182 Must stay strong
I am about at the halfway point on my 365 project and I have to admit it’s getting a bit tedious at times. I seriously believe that I’m running out of subjects locally. I can’t really afford to travel much so getting away for new sites is kind of out of the question. There is nothing I would like better than to…
