Here’s one more from the Railroad District. I think the depth of field is a little off but it is sharp around the right edge of the metal strip. And yes, I’m kind of cruising down to the end here.

Day 92 – Porch Chair
As I think I mentioned yesterday, you never know what you might find in Ashland’s Railroad Distrcit, especially sitting on people’s front porches. I may have gotten enough material yesterday to finish out the 100 days project.
Day 91 – Rusty Hardware
It was a beautiful day for a walk in Ashland’s Railroad District. You never know what you might find if you keep your eyes peeled. I expect there are other Ashland neighborhoods that might have some hidden treasures but the Railroad District has the advantage of being fairly flat.
Day 90 – Ford
Well, I’m still cleaning the office so, yes, I am also still milking the boneyard files. But there is alot of good stuff there. I mostly just added saturation and detail to this one. It’s already grungy enough!
Day 89 – Cracked
I just spent all day reorganizing my office. Just when I was about to pack it in for the night I realized I had not done a image of the day. Good thing I still have boneyard material to process. I was going to do this one as a monochrome since it didn’t have much color to start with but decided to see if I could bring in some color using Topaz texture effects. Flat Neon filled the bill.
Day 88 – Door Handle
Oops, I missed a day. When that happens all you can do is add a day on to the end and move on. I almost forgot to do one today too. Guess I am getting to the end of my enthusiasm for the project. Still have a few more to process from the boneyard. Then I need to go out and shoot daffodils because they are at peak around here right now.
Day 87 – Old Truck
Here’s one more from the boneyard. I still have a few more to process. I turned to Topaz Texture Effects to get the right old timey look for this truck.
Day 85 – Mack
Who knew that the logo for a Mack truck was a bulldog? Well now you do and so do I. This, of course is another one from the truck graveyard on Tuesday. I like the simplicity of this composition. I helped it along a little by editing out some lettering next to the dog.
Day 83 – Loadmaster
A friend got permission for us to photograph in the boneyard of a logging company. Lots of old trucks and equipment. Great rust and texture and color patterns. Lots more to process but this is my favorite so far.
Day 42 – Fence
Seems like I am on a decadence roll. I found this fence on a photo walk today. I’ve probably walked by it at least a hundred times but most of the year it was covered in brush and then I’ve only just started carrying a camera on my daily walks. I also just got a new software toy called Topaz Texture Effects so this is my first attempt to transform an image using that. So far so good.
