January 26 - No Danger Here

Took the camera to work today(well, took everything but the tripod, cause you never know when you might need 3 flashes..... ) You can take the boy out of Boy Scouts, but you can't take Boy Scouts out of the boy.

I needed a "wellness" break around 4:45, so I walked around the business park a bit. This is the back of a building that used to house a fuel cell manufacturer.

I really, truly, honestly intented to use a different lens today. But when I say I brought everything, I had left the 17-40 in my small camera bag. So I was forced, against my will, to use the 50. Plenty of light with the snow on the ground.

Thought the door, with the centered light and NFPA logo, was a bit plain. So I used an action from the Pioneer Woman Photography set to vignette the edges a bit. I like how it turned out, but feel like I'm cheating a bit to give such heavy post-processing.

I'm gaining a whole lotta respect for those folks who have been able to keep up a yearlong photo-of-the-day blog. Gotta admit that it's a blast, though.

  1. You said it. It's fun but it's also discouraging to force myself to take pictures in less time than I'd like on these busy days. Looking forward to longer days in Summer when the task may offer me more opportunity for brighter, colorful pictures.
