Day Twenty Seven - November Flowers

I stopped to pay lot rent on my way out to do my daily photographing, but found these right outside the drop box.

Quote of the Day: "Good photography is not about Zone Printing or any other Ansel Adams nonsense. It's just about seeing. You either see or you don't see. The rest is academic. Photography is simply a function of noticing things. Nothing more." - Elliott Erwitt

Twenty Two - Lambs Ear

Was going out to find something to photograph, and found this in my own backyard.

Quote of the Day: The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeing new landscapes, but in having new eyes. – Marcel Proust

Day Sixteen - Gettin' My Daily

I got the tree leaves and flower at Evergreen Memorial Gardens, at 100 Monroe Blvd. Ogden, UT. I never know what I'm going to find there. On the East side there is a ditch that has a lot of thing to photograph around it. The architectural detail I found on Adam Ave., between 27th and 28th street. I know it looks pretty rough, but really like the texture, and the colors.

Day Fourteen - Random Finds

As I left the house to go photograph Victoria Ridge Retirement Apartments at 1024 Childs Ave, Ogden UT, (I spotted this a while back and was going to use it as my photo of the day, I liked the flag reflection), the yellow flower was staring at me, so I photographed that.

Then while driving to the apartments I noticed I could see the motorcyclist face in his sideview mirror as he rode in the left lane. I lucked out, there was at stop light we both stoped out, and I had my 100 to 400mm lens on my camera out, so I took a photo of the motorcyclist through my windshild, I didn't know if it was going to work or not. I didn't notice the cigarette in his mouth until I got home.

The reason I wanted to photograph the apartment building was I like triangles, squares, circles, textures,and the reflection of the flag in the window.

I photographed the grass for the texture and the colors. and I thought the background was working pretty good.

Bear River Bird Migratory Refuge

Terenchal Rain Storm Today, but Got My Photos

It really rained hard again today, but the storm let up and the storm clouds let the sun through, and I was able to go out and get photos of the yellow rose and red daylilies.

I went to Logan, UT today to eat lunch at the Tandoon Oven, a great indian restaurant, located at 720 E. 1000 N. Logan UT. It stormed all the way there, but when I got to the valley it was sunny, which was nice.

On the way back to Ogden on highway 89 South, found the barn with the writing on it and decide to stop and photograph it. Further down the road found another barn, which I photographed the door and a window, I think part of the appeal of the barns for me is the rustic texture of the old barn wood. Peeling paint gets me too.

While photographing the red barn door a goldfinch landed in a pile of branches, which was a little back from the barn door. © Dale Wing

I Started Photographing Late But I lucked Out

I really lucked out with the Sparrow, it only landed on the rabbit's ear for a few seconds.

The daylilies were located in a dark area, but the light was high lighting just the one daylilie which I thought was really neat.

The screen, I signed up for Carol Leigh's DYCE#8. The first lesson is on curved lines, now I haven't seen her lesson guide. So I quess you could say I'm second quessing her, but I hope these are the type of curved lines she wants us to find. I have been looking for curved lines for about four days, and none were showing up, I was getting worried, but today I was seeing them all over the place. © Dale Wing

Between the Storms

Today it was raining when I got up, it quit raining, but was still overcasted. I decided to go out and photograph anyway. And this is what I came up with today. I drove around the block and found the Snapdragon and rose in a neighbors yard. The number three is from an old warehouse that is being remodeled. I thought I better go and photograph all the dock numbers just in case they decide to remove them. I seen puffs of black smoke in the air and decided to chase a fire, actually the city is doing redevelopment and there using some of the old homes to let the fire department practice firefighting. © Dale Wing

My First Flower of Season

I haven't been feeling good so I have been going out and photographing. My goal now is to take and post at least one photo a day. The pink petals resting on the fence post is what caught my eye. I was lucky to find this rose at the Ogden Botanical Gradens, 1750 Monroe Blvd., Ogden, Utah. © Dale Wing
