One photo a day challenge: Day 34. Today after yet another snowstorm here in upstate, New York it was nice to see the skies clear up a little bit. Snow storms of course lead to shoveling. I spent an our shoveling after working today. As I was shoveling the clouds finally started to part. I don’t remember the last time I saw the sun. It was nice to have bright skies. I… Read More
One photo a day challenge: Day 32. One of the biggest challenges about being a part time photographer, especially one whose commute cuts 2 extra hours out of the day every day, is that it is really challenging to create photography that is time sensitive. This is especially true if the event or subject is something that is spontaneous and cannot be planned for or scheduled. Such as a snow storm. Thankfully,… Read More
One photo a day challenge: Day 24. Today I had the opportunity to get back to one of the kinds of photography I really enjoy. The weather was decent. The sunlight was penetrating the cloud cover. And most importantly, there were birds. We filled our birdfeeders today. And I sat inside avoiding the cold. Watching the birds come and go from the feeders. I was paying attention to the light. The sun… Read More
One photo a day challenge: Day 20. I really wasn’t sure what I wanted to do for daily photos today. We had some early morning snow. Then the sun peaked out just as I was planning to go outside for a walk. I made sure I grabbed my camera. There is a nearby patch of woodlands. I headed out on the snowy trails. The goal I had in mind was to try… Read More
One photo a day challenge: Day 19. Today I went for a walk on what is a very regular route for me. I was consciously thinking about my photography as I walked. Starting to think about these trees that I pass just about every day. I always admire them. The size and shape of them is always interesting. Large tree trunks. Tall trees. Wide ranging branches. Thorns like you’ve never seen everywhere…. Read More
One photo a day challenge: Day 18. Today I decided to stay in our yard again for my daily photo. I wanted to explore a little deeper into the woods than I had in the last few photo sessions in our woods. For this session I walked to the back part of our property and started my exploration there. I did not know I would enjoy using this new camera and lens… Read More
One photo a day challenge: Day 17. I have been wanting to create some bird images. However, the weather has not really cooperated. The skies have been filled with clouds and gloom. There has been very little light. Not enough light for me to be able to create the type of avian photography I enjoy. Variables Today clouds were visible moving across the sky. The clouds were so thick that they blocked… Read More
One photo a day challenge: Day 15. It has been really gloomy outside lately. I really want to get out and photograph some landscapes, but it has been so overcast having any nice sky in the photo will be difficult if not impossible. So Dark I went for a run today with my Nikon mirrorless camera clipped to my Peak Design Capture Clip on my running vest. But it was so dreary,… Read More
One photo a day challenge: Day 14. One of the goals of this photography challenge has been to allow myself opportunities to be more creative in my photography. Creating a new photograph every single day gives me more opportunities to stretch and try new things. When I am not creating new photography as frequently I feel pressure to “get it right”. I don’t feel free to take chances. I don’t challenge myself… Read More
One photo a day challenge: Day 13. Today I set out to focus my daily photo challenge photos on a specific idea. I wanted to capture some interesting photographs showcasing the ice on the rocky ledges I see every day. In recent years it seems like Upstate New York hasn’t had many time frames where there has been snowfall that has persisted for long periods of time. Our winters just haven’t seemed… Read More
