Ran on the Saturday morning after Good Friday and before Easter. I’m continually amazed at the beauty that God creates, and my mediocre ability to capture 1/100 of it in a photograph.
Another day in Baltimore. The trees were in full bloom, and I had to take my camera to get a few shots of them. As I was playing with the photo in Lightroom, I found the photo more appealing in black & white.
I was driving by this empty/abandoned/hit-by-ressession restuarant, and saw some interesting characteristics of the building. The one the jumped out at me was this door.
I have to admit, I was pretty excited about this photo. There are photos that I take (this being one of them) that I want to share with my readers right away. I don’t, because there’s about a 3 day lag on when a photo is taken and it gets up on the site. This allows me to batch up a few photo posts about twice a week, so I’m not tied to the computer post-processing and posting the photo on a nightly basis.
I took this shot on Fri, March 20th, but you aren’t seeing it until Wed, March 25th.
I was driving in Grayslake down this street I’ve driven a hundred times, and saw this busted old greenhouse. I’ve never seen it before, nor have I seen the farmhouse next to it. This house and old greenhouse is surrounded by a ‘90s built subdivision – which leads me to conclude that this house and old greenhouse was the original homestead of the farm land the subdivision was built upon. This photo was taken with my Nikon S52 point-and-shoot.
This location is a treasure trove of photos. I can’t way to go back and get more!
On a different note, by the time this photo is posted on the blog, I’m in Miami for a conference. Expect to see photos of sun and beach when I get back!
Lamps… that aren’t in my house! My wife Kristi and I went shopping without the kids, and we wondered into Restoration Hardware.
This shot is with my Nikon S52 Point-and-shoot (as you can see in the first lamp!)
Not my most favorite shot of mine to date — but I found this one interesting nonetheless. I’ve been playing with the tools to make Black & White shots, and after tweaking some settings in Photoshop CS3, I thought the picture became a bit more interesting than the color version.
I’ve embarked on this Project365 for myself. I’ve been very committed to getting a photo each and every day — even though it might be with my cell phone camera right before I crawl into bed.
I bring you a photo today that *technically* is not from Day 62.
I’ll pause a moment for everyone to pick themselves off the floor and to regain composure.
With that said, I *do* have a photo from Day 62, one that I’m very excited about. Unfortunately, I didn’t get permission for the photo, and want to error on the side of caution and not post it.
This photo of Miles is from Day 61, and I’ll share it with everyone to continue your daily feed of photographic goodness.
This building is down the block from my work’s Baltimore office. I got to work early that morning hoping to catch a great sunrise on the buildings in the neighborhood, but it was a cloudy and rainy morning.
I found the building here with the lights and the signage interesting.
I was intrigued with this little guy the first time I saw him.
He was outside the apartment complex of my wife’s cousins we visited in Madison. Though I don’t know *exactly* what he is, the first thing that came to *my* mind was “penguin”.
He’s only 2 and a half feet tall.
The interesting part of taking this photo was I couldn’t get the DOF (depth of field) that I wanted. I knew the items in the background were going to be distracting, so I tried to shoot with a wider aperture. I was trying to get an f/4 or so, but my camera didn’t let me as it metered the shot at a shutter speed *greater* than what my camera could handle at 1/4000 of a second.
I know I could add some bokeh in Photoshop, and with the right amount of time I could figure it out (I did it before with the help of a tutorial). I just didn’t have the time for the purposes of this blog, so I’m leaving it as it stands.
