Getting out to shoot has been difficult due to a death in the family but I don’t want to abandon the project so I just keep going back through images I have shot so far to find the keepers. The marigolds in my brother’s garden are just beautiful this year and I keep going back… Continue reading Day 41- Marigold

Day 40 – Maple Leaf
I wandered around the yard looking for something to shoot yesterday but I feel like I have exhausted the good subjects. I did like the detail on this maple leaf, the back lighting, and the diagonal composition. but I still don’t think it is going to win any prizes. Such is the nature of a… Continue reading Day 40 – Maple Leaf
Day 39 – Sunflowers
Sunflowers because they remind us that the sun will go on shining and the flowers will go on blooming. Just cropped this one a little and added some detail in CEP.
Day 38 – Oregon Coast
It must be time for another outing. I just started going back through the files until I found one I liked that was different from what I had posted before. The Oregon Coast always makes for a good picture. I love what the detail extractor in Nik Color Efex Pro does with clouds. and the… Continue reading Day 38 – Oregon Coast
Day 37 – Ashland Springs
I didn’t have anything I could use from yesterday’s small amount of shooting so I had to reach back into the archives. Guess I need to get out and shoot some more. This is the facade of the Ashland Springs Hotel, a landmark and the tallest building in town. I had to adjust the perspective,… Continue reading Day 37 – Ashland Springs
Day 36 – Grunge Abstract
My brother has quite a collection of old trucks sitting on our parents’ back lot. This one they call the Crummy. It’s paint is getting pretty crummy, that’s for sure. I shot this close up near the fender for an interesting abstract. I gave it a maximum detail extraction in CEP then used a cool… Continue reading Day 36 – Grunge Abstract
Day 35 – Grist Mill
Yesterday I was busy preparing a show for my virtual gallery and didn’t get out to shoot anything new. The show is called “New Mexico Swan Song” and is a collection of images shot at El Rancho de las Golondorinos, a living history museum near Santa Fe. Honestly, I processed so many images yesterday I… Continue reading Day 35 – Grist Mill
Day 34 – Birch Leaf
The great thing about macro photography is that you can do it any time any where. My parents have so many different kinds of trees in their yard I am thinking of doing a botanical study just on leaves. This one had the standard post processing. I tried doing a spot healing brush on the… Continue reading Day 34 – Birch Leaf
Day 33 – Grower’s Market
I wasn’t too motivated to photograph yesterday and then it rained. So I had to go back to the previous day and do some processing. I wanted at least one picture from the grower’s market that wasn’t just a close up of fruits and vegetables but I was feeling sensitive about making people less recognizable… Continue reading Day 33 – Grower’s Market
Day 32 – Onions
Here is another one from the grower’s market. I am really starting to see a nice body of work here, both from the grower’s market and the 100 days project. I’m getting a lot more good images at the market than I can post so look for a virtual gallery show in September or October. … Continue reading Day 32 – Onions
