Wow, time flies when you’re not posting! I haven’t posted in a week mostly because I haven’t taken any photographs. A few snaps here and there but not much of any value. And I am not really sure if this photo is any value but I do like the scene. The colors in the original were all muted, basically a…

It was a day in September
I’ve been gradually cleaning my files out over the past week, getting rid of a lot of junk photos that were just taking up space. I do a lot of test shots when I get new gear and after using them for evaluation, they don’t really serve a need any longer, yet I always forget to delete them. So on occasion…
The color of muddy
I’m not one for talking dirty but how about a little mud in your eye? There’s nothing like a good rainfall on a January day in the West Virginia hills to stir up a little mud. Of course, artistically it leaves a lot to be desired. Just a monotone brown color oozing everywhere. But I found a colorful tree to add a little…
An interim post
Until I get back out there and do some shooting again I thought I would at least post an interim photo. I haven’t been able to shoot much the past week and with nothing new to present I went into my files of my most recent shoot and edited a few pics. This photo was one that I ignored at…
Ouch
I had a nice long three-day weekend and didn’t perform any photography to speak of. It was a beautiful weekend also, weather-wise. But the reason I didn’t get to shoot anything is because I was in pain all weekend. I don’t know what happened and can’t remember any event that triggered it but my right hip, knees, lower back, chest,…
Down below
On a two-hour commute home from work yesterday I spotted a sign for a scenic overlook ahead and thought that it may be of interest. When I arrived I saw that the parking lot was empty (it wasn’t exactly on a well-traveled road) and I pulled in to check it out, mostly for future reference as the time of day…
It’s a mind thing
First, I’ll start off with a totally original photo, that no one else has attempted before – the “seagull on a post” pic! 🙂 As you can tell by my sarcasm with the accompanying photo, I haven’t been thrilled with my output as of late. Sure I have been through some growing pains experimenting with new gear, trying to find a balance…
Feeling nautical
Since I have a few days of from work, my wife and I took a quick drive “up” north to Lake Erie. We basically just went for the night to get out of town. Sitting on the dock and watching the sunset as sailboats went by was a little more relaxing than listening to trucks and three-color Cavaliers driving past…
365-326 Wet and wild
Wild color that is. Another one of my “shoot through a rainy window” photos. This is a roll of color coded conduit or fiber optic cable at a construction area. I didn’t have to work today because of the rain yet I still ended up taking a construction photo! In this case the “construction site” is a large office/manufacturing/retail/golfing/dining/etc. complex that is…
365-308 This one is like the other
I took a photo on the job site today that reminded me of the photo I had in my infamous Freshly Pressed post (365-271) of a compactor on a slope. They were both shot in similar situations of late afternoon sunlight and shooting towards the slope. That photo was in black and white and even though I think this photo…
