Photo challenges come in all shapes, sizes, and flavors. Some are strictly personal as when one of us decides to challenge ourself to photograph all the waterfalls in the county or to learn how to photograph the night sky, or to photograph exclusively with a certain lens for a photoshoot. There’s no shortage of challenges […]
Let’s see what we think works. I wasn’t able to even look for my photo today until the sun had already set. As I picked up my gear and went for the door I was debating whether to load the gear into the Malibu or the Silverado. Since it was snowing heavy, wet flakes I […]
The lesson I learned today is one we’ve heard before. Go back. Go back to places you’ve visited before and photographed before. So, I guess you’d say my lesson today was one relearned. I was in a bind having not realized my photo for the ninth day of our Hundred Day Photo Challenge and I’m […]
Wow! What a day! Not exactly a typical photography day, for certain. But a day that challenged the very thought of photography. As important as photography is to me it became very clear yesterday when my wife, carrying groceries into the house took a header on the concrete steps. Thanks to the good people at […]
You know, sometimes I think it’s fair to compare nature photography to playing the one-armed bandit at the casino. One day you may begin to think you’ve had enough and the next . . . you can’t get enough. Today was one of the latter. It was one of those mornings I’m always talking about […]
It has quickly become obvious that the challenge to create a new expressive photography every day for 100 days is really a challenge. Here it is only day number 5 and I was finding it difficult to find time to get outdoors with my camera. Now, getting outdoors isn’t a requirement of this challenge, but […]
My wife says “He’s never happier than when he’s in a fog.” I’m not a big drinker so I believe she’s talking about how much I typically enjoy photographing foggy scenes. With that understanding, you will understand why I was feeling pretty good as I pulled out of the driveway at about 6:30 am. It […]
I felt like I had to get my photo in today before the weatherman made life miserable, so I was out early with no specific destination in mind. It seems, though, that my trusty Silverado knows where to go so I ended up at Labrador Hollow. It was almost a repeat of the conditions I […]
Okay, I’m hoping the hunt doesn’t get more difficult. Today was one of those days where everything you do seems to get in the way with what you want to be doing. I left the house about 6:30 am and soon became aware of a dramatically colorful eastern sky. But, first, I thought, it will […]
Over the last couple of days, I’ve extended an invitation to our local community of photographers to join me in a 100-day challenge of creating one meaningful, expressive photo each day. Today is New Year’s Day, 2020. What better day to set off on a challenge. The photos in this post are my favorites from […]
