Like Sand Through the Fingers









One of those photo ideas I had in my mind, and had to get out....for now, I might redo this shot at a later date. Contrast upped a bunch, unsharp mask used as well.



More From the Sidewalk



















All three of these photo's were taken last night, at about this time actually. I added a little contrast, but oddly enough the second photo probably has the most added, though the other two are darker. But that's the nature of the original exposure. Enjoy.

String









Probably not the clearest image that I took tonight of these lights, but irregardless the one I liked the most. Enjoy.

I'd Rather Watch.....









Took many different photo's tonight, not many of them reached the final "drawing board", I must be getting pickier as I do more photography. But here we have tonight some paint peeling. Enjoy.

Tea Sippin'









Another photo from tonight, you know because I need to try to get more up this month, I'm falling behind. I really upped the contrast on this shot in post production, it really helped put the focus on the tea cup, but you can still make out the tea pot in the background. Enjoy.



One Photo to Rule Them All









Probably not true, but here's the story.

I was home for about fifteen minutes today and decided on the challenge. Take one photo only and take it quickly. You are looking at that one photo. It was taken down a few stairs with very low lighting (notice the graininess), which made it only possible to manual focus and while doing manual focus, I didn't quite focus where I wanted too. Whoops! The focus on the screen and off the handle bugs me, do you see it too, yeah thought so.



Older Part of Town
















Took these photo's yesterday afternoon. Good lighting still, but much to cold, I was planning on walking around for half an hour or so, but that wind-chill was really cutting deep. I lasted under ten minutes.
Post Production: Both photo's unsharp mask applied and contrast upped slightly. First photo black and whited with the channel mixer. Second photo, saturation on the red hiked slightly, all the rest taken down a little.

City Streets At Night (name that song if you can)



















Last night I went out and shot the streets in Nymore. Got a few good photo's, and as you can see below I got a few abstract photo's as well. Enjoy.


Lots of Lights This Time of Year




















Some nice abstracts using lights and on purpose lack of focus.

Good Ol' Ten Pin














A few bowling alley photo's from tonight. If I had more time, and you know, fewer people, I probably would have had a ton of shots. There's lots of photographic opportunities at a bowling alley.
