I took todays photos here in town. It was another dark and rainy/snowy day so I didn’t want to venture off pavement any. I was off work again because of the weather so I could roam a little. Usually that’s a good thing, having time to shoot during the day, but because it was so dark it didn’t really make…

365-334 Wired
Just one of those days. I was working all day, stuck high on a hill with blowing snow and exceptionally cold wind. And mud, lots of mud. It wasn’t pleasant. So when I had time to take a photo I didn’t feel like venturing out too far. And there’s nothing better on a day like this then to take a photo…
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…
365-321 Like a Lomo
I’m still continuing my lens testing and some processing experiments. I had to work today so my subjects were limited to the job site. Fortunately, I was high on a hill and had a nice panoramic view of the surrounding country. Unfortunately, it was extremely cold and windy with some blowing snow! But I did manage to grab a few…
365-64 Wet stuff
Another rainy day. I don’t mind it though. A couple of days of rain followed by some sun and things start getting a little brighter and colorful and, hopefully, a little cleaner and all traces of winter are gone. Rainy days do present some nice photo opportunities, IF you are somewhere where such opportunities exist. I would liked to have taken…
365-56 No extra effort award
For my 365 choice, I just liked the colors here, especially the gradation on the wall. I would have liked the shot to be a hair sharper but the light level was pretty low, considering the focal length. Plus a few of the shots could have benefited from a smaller aperture. I could have boosted the ISO more but I…
365-55 A study of grass
Not much out there today. I was shooting near a railroad station trying to get something “railroady” and although I got a couple of shots in that theme, I ended up liking these grass shots better. I used Nik Silver Efex B&W conversion with toning then blended opacity to bring some subtle color back in. I used the “coffee” tone on photos No.1 and 2…
365-53 Make up day
I’m going to try to make up for the lame shot I did yesterday. I had an early appointment this morning and woke up to six inches of fresh snow. I figured a new fresh blanket of white should help me get creative again. It did, but I didn’t really take any “snow” shots, nor did I venture far from…
365-49 Graffiti can be fun
Saw this graffiti on a closed movie theater and since it was a warm day in February, it just seemed right. The sunshine not only enhanced the colors but also the mood of everyone today. It seemed like people were out and about today and looking like they were enjoying themselves. Too bad the weather goes back downhill next week. Pentax K20D,…
365-43 Duck pond revisited
Another visit to the pond in the local cemetery today. It’s always a good place to get a shot and there’s always ducks, geese, turkeys and deer roaming around. I stuck with the ducks today. I had to deal with some lens flare in this shot and the sun is a little brighter than I would like, but “work with…
