I was driving past the local college when I saw these chairs on the campus. It was under 20°F, so I’m not surprised that any students were taking advantage of them. It will still be a couple of months yet before they get regular use. I used my Pentax K20D and DA55-300 lens. As far as my 365 project is going, I…

365-40 Cold facts
So you’re probably thinking, “David, ice AGAIN?” It has been a prominent subject of mine this winter but it’s the one thing I see when I look around. I wonder if people who live near the beach in a warm climate get tired of palm trees, sand, and surf pictures. I somehow doubt it. I actually wanted to try some processing options…
365-39 Kinetic star
A little sun for the day, in the form of a mobile hanging from my neighbor’s porch. It was snowing again today. Soon winter will be a distant memory and the sun in my pictures will be the real one. Processed with a touch of Topaz Adjust to punch up the color a bit. Pentax K20D, DA55-300 Going Mobile
365-35 Different color
Photo for today is a sunset, mostly because it’s a rare sight as of late. I feel warmer already. A pretty straightforward shot taken at a nearby farm. Pentax K20D, DA17-70 Sundown
365-33 Packers fans?
Now for something completely different! A quick visit to a pond in the cemetery today. I wanted to get a duck picture, just for a change of subject matter. I’m not a “wildlife” photographer usually and I don’t have the gear or patience to pull it off well. But I like the shot and I’m sticking with it! Unfortunately, being…
365-30 City homes
I didn’t spend too much time trying to shoot today. While driving through town, I spotted this old dilapidated house . A nice looking place that at one time, I imagine, was an attractive home. There’s a few houses like this around. I guess with the proper funds it could be restored to its former glory. Unfortunately the rest of the…
365-28 Winter is still here
Day 28 of my 365. I think I’m hanging in there. I know I haven’t taken so many photos of winter scenes in the past as I have this month. I thought I would stick with a simple composition today. I would have liked it if the horizon wasn’t in the middle as much but I didn’t have much choice…
365-26 – Snow day at the cemetery
A nice snowy day today. I thought I would try to get some nature photos for a change. I didn’t want to venture too far out of town. So, where to go? The local park? Not a chance. The park in this town is a scraggly, hilly, unkempt mess with bad roads. Instead I went to the large cemetery nearby…
Learning curve
Since I’m working on my 365 photo project this year, I find myself out shooting more than past winters. The area I live in doesn’t have grand vistas to photograph – no snow-covered mountains – no charming rural scenes. There is a lot of rural areas, of course, but “charming” isn’t a word I would use to describe them. We don’t have…
365-20
We are getting a little more snow today in southwest PA. Driving around town I spotted this railing and snow-covered steps in front of a church. I thought I would try a little more “normal” shot today. I was thinking black and white when I shot it, visualizing a high contrast “abstract” street type shot. I’m not sure if I succeeded…
