One photo a day challenge: Day 47. Another day of relentless winter weather here in upstate, NY. I couldn’t leave the house to go anywhere for photos. Trudging through the snow and ice with a camera didn’t feel inspiring today. I decided to just sit around the house with my camera out and ready and one of my lights out to light the scene. I thought this would be a good way… Read More
One photo a day challenge: Day 46. During this challenge there are subjects that I have come back to more than once. When I do I try to share a different type of photo. If I can I try to take the same subject and photograph it in a different way. It is possible to photograph the same subject with very different results. I have photographed different types of hardware. Specifically I… Read More
One photo a day challenge: Day 45. Today’s photo is a little different than other photos I’ve taken during this challenge. One of the main goals of all the other photos is to create something artistic and creative. The photos I shot today were more about capturing a feeling and emotion. Capturing what it is like doing something I really enjoy doing just for the sake of doing it. Todays photos probably… Read More
One photo a day challenge: Day 44. Today my wife was out running errands. Picking up dog food. You know, all the fun stuff. She had to run to the grocery store and tested to ask if I wanted anything. I asked for a loaf of bread from the bakery. I love bread. You know, who doesn’t love bread. When she arrived home she had a loaf of delicious bread for me,… Read More
One photo a day challenge: Day 43. Today I returned to photographing metal framing hardware. I started off trying to intentionally arrange some of the objects I hadn’t photographed before. Eventually I moved to just tossing pieces haphazardly on a canvas and photographing them where they lie. I think I am getting inspired to work more with materials like this. I will just need to acquire more interesting hardware. If you enjoy… Read More
One photo a day challenge: Day 42. Today I did something a little different for me. When photographing a subject from nature I don’t usually manipulate the subject for my photograph. If I’m photographing a flower I work around the structure of the flower to get the shot I want. Bending around the flower. I don’t usually bend the subject to my will. I try to allow nature to be free from… Read More
One photo a day challenge: Day 41. Today I decided to get back to one of my favorite subjects, my dogs. I could photograph my dogs all day every day. I love them. They also make great photography subjects for a variety of reasons. They are interesting, funny, and adorable. And most of the time they cooperate for me. No having to search out subjects or wait for the weather to be… Read More
One photo a day challenge: Day 40. Today was one of those days I really didn’t know what I was going to photograph for my challenge. I wanted to photograph something from my office. The question is what? I felt kind of stuck today. I was looking around my office. The same things kept coming to mind. Looking at similar items that I have photographed before wasn’t helping me. I could photograph… Read More
One photo a day challenge: Day 39. Sometimes I am actually thinking about what I am going to photograph for this project in advance. I really enjoy photographing flowers. Working with macro flower photography fits well into this challenge. So when we were recently out running errands, I made sure to pick up a flower to photograph while we were at the store. Macro flower photography allows me to stay inside on… Read More
One photo a day challenge: Day 38. Most of the day today it was gloomy and overcast. There wasn’t any significant sunlight throughout the day. As evening arrived the cloud cleared and the sun was shining through. I began thinking about what I wanted to photograph today. There were a few different options that I was thinking about. Two of the possible subjects could wait to be photographed another day. However, if… Read More
