May 11th, Day 131: Garage Sale Finds

I stopped by an estate sale on my way home from work the other day and found (thanks to the 40+ years hoarding habit of the owner) a handful of colorful glass bottles and two older cameras. One of the cameras, an argus argoflex is seriously rusty and probably won’t be taking any more photos in its lifetime. The other, a Kodak pocket Instamatic 10 still had film in it, with about 4 photos left on the roll. I want to find a place that will develop it, who knows how long that film has been in there! I’m so curious.

(this is the same camera, not to be confused by my mention of two different cameras above)

The bottles, though not likely worth money, vary in size, color, shape, and age. Some still have bits of the labels still attached, and one still has a dark colored liquid in it! :o I’m not going to open it to find out whats in there though!

I think they’ll be fun for some still-life photography, as well as to practice my lighting techniques on.

The light coming through the window was looking very nice

April 24th, Day 114: Small Things

I liked how much texture this board offered, and the light hitting the rivet heads.

April 17th, Day 107: Experimentation

I didn’t take any photos today that I am particularly proud to share on their own merit, but I was able to play around in pse to create an interesting version of a photo I took today.

Here is the SOOC:

And this is what I created from it:

March 29th, Day 88: Light and Shadows

I liked how the light was falling as I walked the dog at almost-sunset.

January 4th, Day 4, Mushrooms

Actually, just singular mushroom.

Though I did find many, of several different varieties, all within about 20 feet of my door!

October 18th, photo of the day: More Leafy Goodness

 

…And with a great rumbling of thunder, and sudden downpour, I think it’s time to make a new light box. :)

October 12th, photo of the day: Fall leaves

You’re going to be seeing a lot of these in the new few weeks. Bear with me. They’re so beautiful! How can I not take their photos everyday?

October 10th, photo of the day: “leaf” it alone

The leaves are starting to fall, and I loved how the light was coming though this particular one.

October 1st, photo of the day: Spiders all around

Seriously. I’m going to have to look this up, because I am finding spiders everywhere, where they weren’t before. It really must be a seasonal thing, don’t you think?

This fellow wove a perfect web in the rose bush outside our backdoor. I noticed the web first of course, and at first wondered where the owner was. I found him here, hiding just out of sight under this leaf.

Anyway, it seemed also appropriate to offer you a somewhat creepy photo to start off this month of Halloween! :)
