The Idea…

So the deal is this… each day, one picture… shot digitally… anywhere I feel like it…

I’ll be taking many photos each day and posting one for viewing. Maybe I’ll post up two if I am being really prolific and can’t decide on which one I like most.

the reason: to get better at photography… to capture life… to document what is out there…

what I want from the reader: honest assessments, feedback, critique, ideas…

what I shoot with: a not so hot Sony DSC-P30…

For me right now, it’s not about the camera…it will be soon enough. I’m trying to go with the mentality of “run what you brung”… can art be held back by the medium used? or does it just need to be adjusted…adapted…that’s what I’m working on.

I’m good at other forms of artistic expression, but not this… photography is definitely out of my comfort zone when it comes to understanding the depth of it’s potential. I want to learn though…, I want to try at least…, I love taking photos and just want to be better at it. I need your help though, as a reader of this blog I ask that you are honest in your comments. I’m not doing this only to get praise. I want direction and feedback from peers and masters. I can take it…, and more importantly, use it to learn.

Thanks,

Rob

Last post for now

So due to some changes in my life recently, I will no longer be able to contribute to this blog for the time being. I don’t know how long it will be until I am able to start taking photos again and post them. I’ll start again as soon as I can. Thanks for all your support so far.

Photo Fifty Three

I was having some fun with Photoshop today.

Photo Fifty Two

Photo Fifty One

Tried my hand at touching this one up in Photoshop.

I boosted the contrast and separated the wall from the backdrop and adjusted each differently.

Played with this one in Photoshop. Separated the sky from the building to get different levels and effects for both.

I found these spiky pods growing in an abandoned city dumping ground and at the request of my son, photographed them.
