Day 242, 2013 - The Long Road Traveled

I took a number of pictures tonight, some of them better or more unique pictures. However, this capture of the old man at the distant end of this long sidewalk just spoke to me and seemed symbolic of a long life. And the stop sign shrouded by the trees being just like our own lives; we never know when our own stop sign will show up.

Sometimes the road seems too long for me..............................

This is my best breakfast photo ever!

Day 251, 2013 - Spider

This is an almost picture. This little jumping spider has been extremely elusive. It runs out, I run for my camera, it runs for cover. While it's not a great shot... it is my blurry almost bigfoot picture proving that something exists.

You're not seeing double. I posted these two with slightly different settings to see if there is a difference.

Day 251 Do-over

Didn't like the photo from my elusive friend - the spider hiding out in and around our bathroom screen. So I headed back out to see what I could find and was handsomely rewarded with a little jumping spider that wanted to pose and a really patient fly.

Do you like my right side?

Or my left side?

Or maybe you prefer to have my lunch?

Day 252, 2013 - Biker

Really like this black and white. It really made the chrome, like the mirrors, really pop and scream out. And the black of the bike with the headlights just looks powerful for me.

Day 253, 2013 - Clouds

Stormy weather coming in as the sun was setting. Gave the field a nice golden color.

Another round of storm clouds rolling in and changing everything.

Day 255, 2013 - Stormy Night

Wish there was more I could do about the foreground of the image, but unfortunately development is what it is.

Day 257, 2013 - Smurf Village

We have had an unusually large amount of rain over the last week. Consequently, a Smurf Village popped up at the base of an old tree in the park.

From the looks on their faces they lost.

They were in triple overtime and did win.

Day 258, 2013 - Mushroom

Shooting them while they are around. Yesterdays Smurf Village was stomped on by little kids. Unfortunately, Smurfette has returned to live with us.

Photoshop. Quick cut out of the kid, scale her down, scale up the shrooms, insert kid, make her transparent, erase her where she covers the shrooms I want visible, make her 100% visible again, soften her cut out edges, merge layers, done.
