One photo a day challenge: Day 357. I have really loved the amount of experimentation this 365 day photo challenge has inspired in me. I am almost scared to stop at the end of the year because I might lose the motivation to try new things. Todays photo: Large black background photo background. Sparkling Christmas tree decoration. One strand of colored Christmas lights casting light on the tree creating the colored lighting… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 356. Walking around the house thinking about what to photograph. My first idea was to photograph some fresh bought produce that we had just picked up at the grocery store. Maybe an onion. Then I walked by a shelf with a nice Christmas decoration on it. And my mind flipped into a totally different gear. A jar. Frosted glass. Decorated with glitter. Merry Christmas written across… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 355. It has been below freezing most nights lately. However, most daily high temperatures have been above freezing and even into the 40’s. I was wondering if the cold temperatures have been enough to freeze water over night and have it remain until mid day the next morning. I figured if ice formations were remaining until mid day at least then that would give me a… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 354. For a while we were having a good stretch of beautiful sunset skies. It has not been the case in recent weeks. I can’t remember the last time I had the opportunity to photograph a nice sunset. It doesn’t help that half the time I am not home from work yet as the sun is setting. But I have really been wanting to photograph a… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 353. Every year our family gets together and bakes and decorates Christmas cookies. I always like to capture some of these times on camera. This year I wanted to see if I could capture a view of a bunch of the cookies we decorated. For this project I was going to use my Sony Alpha 6000 with the 20mm lens. This view of a bunch of… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 352. I decided to try and take advantage of the rain today. The goal was to actually capture elements of the rain in a photo. I had the idea to photograph the puddles in our driveway. Photograph them in a way that would show the rain drops hitting the water of the puddle. The rain tried not to cooperate. As the raindrops became a fine mist…. Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 351. Switching things up a bit. Playing around with food. Fruit. The two fruits I eat the most. Apples and bananas. Used two different background materials for nice clean non-distracting visuals. Illuminated the phot with two Lume Cube Panel Mini lights. Never realized there was so much texture in the skin of a banana. Not sure that will make me want to eat them more or… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 356. Today I headed over to a local park to photograph some trees. I photographed these trees earlier in the year. It seemed like a nice time to photograph them and see if I could find a different perspective on todays visit. It was an unseasonably warm day for this time of year. 60+ degrees in December. I am not sure if that helped or hurt… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 349. Today I returned to a specific subject matter that I photographed way back when I started this project over 300 days ago. I wanted to try to be a little more creative with the items I was photographing. Intersperse some of the items with other items. And now I had a few new tools to incorporate into this type of photography. So that added a… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 348. Had fun experimenting with some night photography. Tonight I worked with some of the newly added Christmas Lights outside out house. I used an f/16 aperture to create the starburst effect of the Christmas Lights. In the background you can see the just barely illuminated trees from the lights I placed out by the trees. And off in the distance the Christmas lights from out… Read More
