Pasture and Cloud

I like this because it is so simple to look at. I had to wait for the cloud to hurry up and get into position before the image was complete. This image says cows to me even though there are non, but they've definitely been here. It turned out a bit like a painting.

Long Road

Everything is a little out of perspective in this one. This a bike path, but with the lines on the new hot top you'd think it was a two lane road. The fog helped here by giving the illusion the road goes on forever. There's a person walking down the path a ways. I never knew if he was coming or going, but I wondered. I'm never at these spots for long.

Autumn Dead Bug

I found this bug, by a door, where I work. I wonder if it had made it in, would it have survived? I've never seen anything like it but knew I wanted to photograph it. Seemed to be posed pretty good for a dead bug. Even without the color this thing is cool, but what color!?

Foggy Morning

I've made many images of this place and not all (very few) end up as something I want to look at later. I think I like the place better than it photographs, the two can sometimes be confused. It's a matter of being there at the right time, with the right stuff. This is an intersection of a few roads, I didn't pull off to far, just hopped out and started shooting for a while. The road and barn were as quiet as the air looked, and felt.

Red Barn Board

I wish this barn could stay like it is forever but it won't. I made images of the whole thing and they look pretty good but what I decided to go with today was the skin of it. The barn had many different types of siding, and this one had that melted vinyl siding look. This barn was old but the color was still vibrant. I thought throwing the power lines out of focus was appropriate since no power was being used. It reminds me of the skin of old heavily used hands.

Grazing Cattle

There's no star here and that's ok. The scene without the fence or the cows would have satisfied me but they sure add to it. One thing I've learned is shoot what you see, whether it's perfect to what you think or not. Work with it, add to it, and move on.

Young Tree

Again, I was thinking of something different as I approached the Park, hoping to find it and try to get to work on time. I was using a camera that most people wouldn't because it wasn't current and didn't have enough pixels to be trusted. I'm glad I like to try things like older cameras and lenses. That in itself makes you different and you'll definitely get a different look, much like we did with the old film cameras. Different films/lenses, different results. In the old days (10 years ago or so) people worried about film and optics for the job. Not that way today. Why did that go away? Most people only think they understand pixels (the more the better), but they don't. I don't know what grade your in when you know 2 is more than 1 but in the adult world with photography it goes much deeper than that. This is why some people do better than others with what they have whether they're loaded up with pixels or not. In this image, the low pixel count is hidden in the fog. Have I mentioned how much I like fog? I do.

Dizzy Busy Sky

I don't remember why I was sitting here but I know what I noticed. All the gray. The sky, lines, poles, and the tree. For a short time I hoped something of color would happen by, but what is the chance of that when your aiming up. Too bad the street lamp didn't come on but this is what I had. The tree limbs being out of focus is what makes this interesting. It makes me a little dizzy.

Savoy Barn

I had stopped and turned around to make this image and that's when I noticed my previous post. On the way by I noticed the light and color of the siding and figured if I moved and turned around fast enough I might have a chance at something before I lost the light. My camera was not ready and I did a lot of fussing but finally got the shot. This has good cross lighting, longer shadows. Yesterdays image came from moving down the road about 100 yrds and shooting back over my shoulder. Back lit rather than side lit, all I had to do was manage the exposure. Two different barns not that far apart and two different looks. Good addition to my "Barns" series.

Yellow Stripes and Barn

These yellow stripes have no reason to be here, perfect for a picture. Most may know what these are for but if someone looked at this 200 years from now what would they think? I can only hope.
