I was leaving work on Friday, and while I was waiting to turn left out of our parking lot, (which could very well take me 10 minutes sometimes) I noticed the colors from the traffic light at the corner and the cars travelling up and down the road. They were sparkling through my rain covered window. I got my camera out (because it’s always right next to me) sat there at the end of the driveway and fired off about 90 frames. I don’t know why I had to shoot 90, I’m sure 10 would have been sufficient, but I had the camera in continuous shoot and I wasn’t in a hurry to get home, so I just held the shutter button down. I thought it was a good choice for my 100 Photos project.

This is Amy’s Nikon D90 sitting in the console of her car. She’s got her 18 to 105mm lens on it, and I’ve decided that’s the next lens I want to get. We drove around town for a while today, stopping here and there to take some shots. This ended up being my favorite of the day. I like the color of the camera strap, her orange gloves under the camera and her blue jeans in the background. Even though it has alot of black in it, I still thought it fit in well with my 100 Photos project. Besides, if I get too picky about the project (which is all about color), I’ll never get to 100 photos by the end of the year.
I was looking for fences today for the Fence Friday group that I just joined at Flickr. We found quite a few, (but you’ll have to wait until Friday). Believe it or not, fences are cool to shoot, you don’t realize how many different types there are until you start looking.
I got a few landscape shots that I’m still working on, I’m not sure if I like them yet, everything is so brown, I’m sick of brown. I need spring, I need green grass, sunshine and things with color, and I never thought I’d say this, but I’m sick of the snow too.

It was a good day with Amy on Main Street today. I’ve shot Main Street several times, but I was never really happy with anything. Today my eyes were searching for something different. It’s amazing what you can find when you look close to the ground. I especially love the way the colors came out in the antique store after I played with it in CS4. That’s something I’m trying to work on….bringing out more color in my photographs.
I’ve always wanted to get a cool fence shot, I’ve seen them seveal times on Flickr, so today I got two.
