D175 - Lines of Power

Beautiful sunset tonight with two power towers to break it up. I actually passed this up running an errand, but I had my camera with me in the car so after a quick u-turn I found a small field to shoot in. Off to a wedding in the morning so short post tonight.

Enjoy.

D150 - Get Dirty

While the title may not seem to reflect the image at face value it does in the way this was captured. 'Get Dirty' is in reference to how the image was captured, by laying on the ground and shooing at a different angle. A lone fly, clinging to a weed blowing in the wind. The tricky part of this shot was  auto focus did not work well since I am half way in the weeds, the focus was jumping around like a scared rabbit. Switched the lens to manual focus, got the weed sharp, composed the image with the subject against the pink sky, and then waited for a break in the wind. Felt as if an hour had past before I got my chance to shoot.

Being in dirt, weeds and goose poop [I know, glamorous] takes me back to what I was taught a long time back as a newbie shooter, 'If you go out shooting in the field and do not come back dirty, you didn't look hard enough'.  Since I am a little shy of the half way mark (plus a push from a good friend), it seemed like no better time to push the bar up, will have to see how far up it can go. Onward to tomorrow.

While the above was today's image I am exploring a new series that will be a feature outside of the 365. This is just a sampler of the direction I'm going...

Enjoy x2

D149 - Lake

After a day at the beach it's time ride into the sunset, or it's general direction. Leaving the lake is tough, especially when all you really want to do is stay one more day. But with a semi-stinky dog snoring in the car and a little girl playing angry birds while asking about a snack, it was time to get home quickly.

Definitely going back.

Enjoy

D77 - Lines

Took a moment to capture some lines with the electric/telephone wires while we were out today. Interesting enough these reminded me of the lines you see in Japan. Of course in Japan there are twice as many clusters of lines and a decent humming noise coming from the wires.

Enjoy.
