Surprisingly, I got a decent amount of photography in today. I was reasonably productive in the short amount of time I was able to shoot. Other than grabbing my camera bag when I left for work this morning, I didn’t even think about my camera until nearly 4pm.
I took a late afternoon walk around and outside our grounds.
Instead of my usual left-turn, I took a right and walked past the side of our building that faces the employee parking lot.
I headed down the walk and paused to snap this rusted rebar.
This pine cone looked lovely with the afternoon sun illuminating it.
Across the street, these meters caught my eye. Black and white seemed the right treatment for them.
On the way home I got in a little “street” photography.
More.
A third shot.
On the road home (one hand on the wheel, one hand to press the shutter).
Pulling in to the driveway I was happy to see that our yellow dahlia has started to bloom.

It is a pleasure to see your blog and your photos, sharpness, and an eye for art shoot, I perceive that you have too much adrenaline for photography.

Lots of interesting lines in these shots. The meters really catch eye . I like the b&w treatment and the composition. Very cool. I also really like the Big Rig image. There is a lot to see in that shot–the angle, slope, lines, cloud… great tones and clarity. (But I’m also thinking YIKES!? it’s a bit scary to do that while driving… 🙂

Thanks for the kind words.
As far as shooting the big rig, I wasn’t looking through the viewfinder. I had the camera already in auto focus so all I had to do was hold it up, press the shutter release and see what I get. I’m not about to get myself killed. 🙂

And the other street photos were shot at the gas station I stopped at on the way home. Feet firmly planted on the ground!
