I'm Slacking Today

Sorry, no new photos for today.  I'm working on a few things... well, I have some ideas anyway.  Hopefully I'll have a chance to try some things over the weekend and have something for you next week.  Maybe it'll even be a little interactive, we'll see.

Happy Friday!

See you next week,

I Like Trains

I just missed a train. It was going by as I was parking the car :( I got some nice pictures of the tracks though.

Trees (Part 2)

Trees (Part 1)

I went to a local park over the weekend and got some nice tree shots.

Yum!

Seems I'm starting to build up a little collection of food shots. Here's some more:

Sunsets in the Backyard

These are some pictures I took out my back door. I don't have any tips for sunsets. I'm sure there are techniques that can be used, but I haven't quite figured them out yet. Just shoot away!

Weeds and bolts

A blurry background can to make anything look good!

Texture / Detail

Another easy way to get interesting photos is to look for textures in ordinary, every-day things.  Everything has some sort of texture, you just need to find right spot.  It doesn't matter if the viewer is even able to identify the object in the photo.  In fact, not being able to identify it could make it more interesting as they try to fugure out what it could be.

Angles

The angle or prospective at which a subject is shot can make a huge difference on the outcome of the photo and can make common things more interesting.

Water

You can always find interesting shapes in water. Perhaps more thought could have gone into the background. Maybe a black piece of... well anything would work, I guess. As long as it isn't shiny. I'm just starting out, so hopefully the pictures will get better as I go.

I like to take Pictures

I'm starting a photoBlog.  Maybe soon I'll post some.
