Week 32 Theme: Through a Window
I almost thought I was late for the 52 (See previous post).
This is looking out one of my windows. It is HDR'd, PP, etc. I have to learn how to get things straight with the camera. I found it hard to get a good centered perspective and still get the scene. Ha!

Week 33 Theme: Lock(s)
The first picture is a typical setup out here in the wide open country. Locking a gate so many have access is accomplished by cutting a link of the chain and adding your own lock. Each person then has access using their own key to their own lock. Ha!
Must be that only one person has access to this place (I guess in an odd chance there might be more than one key available for this lock).

Week 34 Theme: Extreme
I am behind a week or so because I got something in my eye (welding slag, I think) and had to have it removed. The Doc said no TV, Computer... for a week. I am just now getting things squared around and feeling like grabbing the camera. Anyway this picture is the result of another thread in the Off Topics section: My name is _______ and I am overweight
This picture is lunch and as you can see it is taking "losing weight" to the extreme (sort of). Ha!

An old iron and semi old butter churn.

Week 36 Theme: Farming
Again as the theme list gets smaller, it becomes harder to fill (I don't know how the 365ers do it. Ha!)
Anyway, The following are some photos of part of a farming operation. Not what is usually pictured as farming, but it is necessary in some cases. I caught this "Crop Duster" spraying herbicide on a neighboring field.
The Approach
Getting Closer
Spraying
Spraying Some More

Week 37 Theme: Landscapes
This past week I had a few days with the G'kids. We went to Chiricahua National Park for one of the days and I was able to get a few shots. I had to decided what theme to use because I had at least two to choose from; landscapes or water. I chose landscapes. Water will be poste in my Playing Around thread.
This is Balance Rock
Rock Formations
More Rock Formations
And another shot looking down into the valley (Sulphur Springs)
One that could have been used for "Large" weekly challenge. Ha!

Week 40 Theme: Entrance
Cruising on errands in a nearby town, I discovered an old, abandoned and for sale, hotel. In looking into the history, it was used by railroad workers and ranchers when the area was being settled. The entrance (actually the whole scene) just had an eerie mood to it.
Not really an entrance shot, but it belongs with the others. Looking down the street (Black and White the way I liked it. Ha!)

Week 42 Theme: Old, B&W, Processing (In other words, I didn't get a shot that fit a theme in my list).
This past week was sort of a tough week for various reasons. The following photos were taken during the proper week, but no geared toward any theme in my 52 challenge. That's OK because I did give myself some wiggle room in my initial challenge definition. Ha!
The following photos are of an old "Gas/Service station" that served the area many years ago.
B&W Gas Station
Same photo as previous, but with some "PhotoIllustration" Processing
Another view of the station in B&W

A few more just for "Bonus Posts"
I'm not sure if I like the color here or the B&W posted in the previous post better
The B&W seemed to fit the idea of OLD in the station photos, but then again I liked the sky and cloud colors. Decisions, decisions?
Just mostly thinking out loud. Ha!

Week 43 Theme: Columns
This week, not being any place other than around the home place, I had to come up with something I could use for one of my themes. After having been giving about 400 landscape blocks and stacking them, I noticed that they were stacked in "columns." Perfect! Well almost. I have shot them from different angles with different lenses, etc for three different days or so, trying to get something interesting like [MENTION=13090]Horoscope Fish[/MENTION] manages to do with nothing. Ha! Well here are a couple. I really am not sure what to do more to make them interesting. Maybe it is just hopeless. Hints and suggestions are welcome as always.
