Argus

For you old camera junkies out there. Here's a shot of the old Argus factory. It's about five blocks from my house.

Midwestern Pueblo

I've changed the original out with this more recent shot. I like the new angle better. Now if I could just get the sky to cooperate I'll be all set.

Sold a Dam Photo.

The first sale ever, and it was the first post from the new D70.

Early Post. Having a party tonight. Gotta go...

D.O.F. Now I Really Know.

This photo has really set in stone the power of DOF for me. I look at it and just want to reach in and push the little stick back about an inch.

Ethereal Thistle

I guess it's kind of a flower picture. Not.

Clematis Lattice

I'm scrapping the bottom of the barrel here. I really need to get out and shoot some new stuff. I swore I wouldn't post any more flower pictures. Now look what I've done

This posting every day can be a bit like trying to feed a ravenous beast. I guess some days the beast eats better than others.

Wood & Rust

Old Front

Di Vine

This is from a tree in my back yard. I just can't seem to leave this shot alone. I think it's the combination of textures that attract me. The first time was the second post on this blog and wasn't much more that a snap shot. The second time was a different take on it. I liked the depth of field and the way the subject fell of the left edge, but I wasn't satisfied with the composition. Part of the problem is this scene is about twelve feet off the ground and I've been shooting up at it. So this morning I got out the step ladder and went for a straighter shot. I went with this tight shot because it seemed to simplify a cluttered mess. Don't be surprised if I have another go at this down the road. (It might be nice with snow/frost on it.)

Pond with Barn Reprised

I feel I've made a little progress along the learning curve today. On the way home from work I go by this scene. A couple of weeks ago I stopped and shot it. I was disappointed in the results. Last night I stopped and had another go at it. I sat for twenty minutes waiting for some light to hit the barn. That and my improved Gimp skills have brought me a lot closer to what I was looking for.

Garden Flow.

Wall with Vine.

Jumbled Mess

No real subject but I liked the light and detail.

Rail Plate & Wall.

Football Saturday.

I live about three blocks from U of M Stadium. I thought I'd post a few pics to share the mayhem.

This is the scene in front of my house. Not a parking spot left.

Needless to say, we don't leave the house on Football Saturdays.

Got to go. The games on.
