1112 – ‘Tis Autumn
Submitted by The Daily Photography of Andreas Manessinger Blog
This is a wayside shrine in a rural livin quarter on the outskirts of Villach. This one is for Bill. I boldly claimed that our trees here in Carinthia still have leaves in their most glorious colors, but it is wearing thin. Nevertheless, I searched and found [...]

The Making of a Photograph Part 1 – Selection
Submitted by Ralph Nordstrom Photography Blog
I spent a night in Yosemite Valley a few weeks ago. See 24 Hours in Yosemite. It was great to be back; no, it was fantastic to be back. Both sunset and the following sunrise were shot from Tunnel View, the parking area just as you emerge from the tunnel [...]
1111 – I’m So Free
Submitted by The Daily Photography of Andreas Manessinger Blog
That’s a pretty funny number, when you think of it
Today’s picture was taken, well, today!!! I’m back in the game. I already feel pretty well, and I have decided to take off for the rest of the week, to stay in Carinthia, relax, and be able [...]
Life is odd…isn’t it?
Submitted by Craig Photography Blog
The things we do just trying to stay alive are odd obsessions, don’t you think? We want to preserve the NOW while constructing a FUTURE, remembering (or better yet) trying to forget our PAST to build all things anew. When in the end we are all just squirrels trying to [...]
Most Popular Post
Submitted by Howard Grill Blog
It is hard for me to believe that I started this blog almost three years ago, in January of 2007. At that time, I really wasn’t sure how long it would last. Surprisingly (to me), I now have written just over 300 posts, and plan to continue.
In thinking about bygone posts, [...]

October Print of the Month
Submitted by Ralph Nordstrom Photography Blog
It was July in the Eastern Sierra. We had just finished photographing sunrise at a gem of a lake outside of Bishop – North Lake. It’s a small, natural lake favored by fishermen and photographers alike, just a short distance off the road to the more popular Lake Sabrina. Someone [...]
1110 – The Working Man
Submitted by The Daily Photography of Andreas Manessinger Blog
These are tools of my father. My father was a master carpenter and entrepreneur, though his business never got even mid-sized. In a way he was – and still is – always the working man.
It is years ago that I took this image. Just look at the [...]

1109 – The Garden
Submitted by The Daily Photography of Andreas Manessinger Blog
I’ve not been outside today, I am still not feeling completely well. This is an image from the recent trip to Poland, taken when we made our way over small roads from Kraków to Auschwitz.
I suppose this plane is not in use any more, and why someone [...]
1108 – Sick And Tired
Submitted by The Daily Photography of Andreas Manessinger Blog
Looking out of the window of my study, and if the sky or the light are interesting at all, taking some morning photos, this has become a habit.
Today it was an especially excellent idea, because I spent the rest of this wonderful, sunny, warm day in bed. [...]
Big Creek Boulders
Submitted by My Viewfinder Blog
At this section of Big Creek, boulders tumbled into the creek from the slopes above after heavy logging in the area in the 1800s. As part of Great Smoky Mountains National Park, logging is no longer permitted here, and nature has reclaimed a disaster and turned it into a beautiful section [...]
Pretty Views Everywhere
Submitted by My Viewfinder Blog
It was like magic. We had been having a very sub-par Fall leaf season: too much yellow; not enough orange and red. Still too much green for late October. Then about last Thursday, as if a switch had been flicked, color everywhere!
Rain was forecast for Saturday, but it turned out to [...]

More Zone Plate
Submitted by Howard Grill Blog
I have previously written about my initial experiments with the digital zone plate process using my Lensbaby with the zone plate ‘Optic Swap’ insert. I continue to ‘play’ with it, looking for more images to include in my ‘Dreamscapes ‘ portfolio.

I recently took this photograph using the zone plate [...]
SW Utah Workshop – Day 3
Submitted by Ralph Nordstrom Photography Blog
by doinlight
Well, the storm rolled in last night right on schedule. By dawn the precipitation hadn’t started yet. That was to come. But clouds were covering most of the sky.
I had a brief moment of excitement when I looked up and saw Orion. But hopes faded away when a few [...]
Midnight Hole
Submitted by My Viewfinder Blog
As you hike along the Big Creek trail, about half a mile before reaching Mouse Creek Falls you will see Midnight Hole. Here, Big Creek is squeezed between two boulders that fell off the surrounding mountains many moons ago. A pool that appears to be about four feet deep has formed [...]
Slow Photography Movement
Submitted by Craig Photography Blog
Let me start with a story of how this idea came to me.
Scrolling through the blog of one my favorite local photographers (&person) she had posted this photo.
When I look at this photograph I often wish I had the opportunity to take this photo.
I do not know how this particular [...]
