Day 85 - Mar 18, 2012


The photo for today is similar to the one I took yesterday except that I have placed the house in front of the sunset so that it is shown in mostly silhouette.

Day 84 - Mar 17, 2012


I was late getting a photo for the day and I'm still not feeling well so I looked out the window and saw the sun shining on the one house and the tree and the rest of the scene in a sort a shadow. I do like images that have defined light and dark areas.

I remember a photo I got while I was in college where the sun was bright and I found a checkerboard pattern on the parking garage made out of light and dark areas. This isn't quite as dramatic but it is similar.

Day 83 - Mar 16, 2012


I had to snap a photo of this car with the hay on the roof. I was following it and when we got to the stop sign and I pulled up closer, I could see hay stashed inside the back of the car as well. If my little brother were here, he would say "Get a truck".

Day 82 - Mar 14, 2012


The photo for today shows what I have been using to alleviate the symptoms from some sickness. I don't know what I picked up but I was miserable.

Day 81 - Mar 13, 2012


This photo doesn't do justice to the scene I was seeing from the car. I was hoping to be able to see definition in the clouds but it isn't really there in this photo.

Day 80 - Mar 12, 2012

I started out with a colored photo of this scene but I didn't see the clouds the way I wanted them to be so I changed to black and white and it turned out closer to what I was seeing. I did make some minor adjustments to this photo before uploading it but I think the result was well worth it.

We went to the Roasdster show over the weekend and I wanted to share a few photos of the cars we saw there.

Hope you enjoy these...

Day 80 - Mar 11, 2012


This is a photo of my daughter being silly and Dad snapping a photo for the photo of the day.

Day 79 - Mar 10, 2012


We went to the Roadster show today and while we were waiting to get in, I couldn't help myself, I had to take a picture of these shoes.  Nice shoes, huh?  I can't imagine walking around looking at cars for a couple hours while wearing these shoes.

Day 78 - Mar 9, 2012


I was waiting to pick up my wife and saw this radio controlled plane flying around. It's hard to follow a small plane with a zoomed in camera with the display showing on the LCD screen. I think it might have been easier to follow with my DSLR.

Day 77 - Mar 8, 2012

Day 76 - Mar 7, 2012

This is a photo of the moon coming up tonight. The moon is another of my favorite subjects to photograph. I have some tips on how best to do it and I couldn't remember them very well. I tried a few photos and came up with this one.

The thing about photographing the moon is that most people think you need to use a longer shutter speed because it is dark but as I learned a few years ago on the About.com web site, you will get better photos if you use a little faster shutter speed.

I am going to have dig up my notes on photographing the moon and try again.

Day 75 - Mar 6, 2012

We got some new Bose equipment at work and I liked the logo on the case.

Day 74 - Mar 5, 2012

These geese are watching all of the employees coming to work this morning. I have noticed the geese up on the building in the past and I was hoping to get a picture of them one day and today I lucked out and got that photo.

I've decided to change how I'm posting photos. Rather than post a single picture for each day, I'm going to start posting a weeks worth of photos in each post. So here goes...


Day 73 - March 4, 2012

Today's photo is all about rising gas prices. They have been going up like crazy although I understand that where we live is a little behind the rest of the country. I can't complain about that.

Day 72 - Mar 2, 2012

I walked out to go to work this morning and this is what I saw. This was a nice intro to the morning since we have had snow the last two days.

Day 71 - Mar 1, 2012

We had more snow today. I couldn't decide which photo I liked the best so I'm including both of them. I liked the first one but my daughter liked the second one so we each get one for the day.

I was using a slower shutter speed to try and capture the snow falling. I think it worked but I had to take several shots to get the result I was looking for.

Day 70 - Feb 29, 2012

This is my view on the way to work this morning. We woke up to snow and wind. Pardon the pun but it was a rather blue day...

Day 69 - Feb 28, 2012

I have been watching this building go up as I drive to work and drive home from work. I noticed the green material the day before as I was driving by and I thought it would make a cool photo. I was stopped for a light and was able to snap a quick photo of the building.

Day 68 - Feb 27, 2012

I was looking out the back door of our garage and noticed this bush. I like all the lines. I looks like a mess but I think it is interesting.

Day 67 - Feb 26, 2012

I was a little short on photos opportunities today so I ended playing with some photos of our keyboard. I have taken photos of this in the past but I never tried one from this angle. I'm not sure if I like it or not but it is a different perspective on the keyboard.
