1242 – It Could Happen To You
Submitted by The Daily Photography of Andreas Manessinger Blog
I’m back in Vienna, but I’m sick and at home. I’ve slept most of the day, and although I made a few images out of the window this morning, I’ll spare you the results.
These two images were both taken last week on the same day as “1237 [...]
1241 – Sweet Memory
Submitted by The Daily Photography of Andreas Manessinger Blog
This may seem like another “so-what” image, and in a certain way it is. Actually it is not a real image – meaning an image that I’m proud of – at all. It’s a memory, and to be precise, it’s a future memory.
This is of course the [...]
1240 – Don’t Ask Me Why
Submitted by The Daily Photography of Andreas Manessinger Blog
That’s gonna be a short one, promised
The image is one more from yesterday morning. Actually, yesterday’s two images and today’s one were taken in sequence.
Hmm … why this image? Don’t ask me. It somehow appeals to me. Maybe it tells a story. Maybe not. You decide [...]

Don’t Fight Mother Nature
Submitted by Howard Grill Blog
When out photographing, I have always found working with the prevailing conditions to be a far better idea than stubbornly resisting what is going on around me. Let me be more specific by using an example. If I were to go out with the idea of photographing wildflowers and find that [...]

1236 – Perfect Blue Buildings
Submitted by The Daily Photography of Andreas Manessinger Blog
Giving titles. Even (or because of) my habit of using song titles, it can be really hard.
Sometimes it takes me as long as working on the image. Here I had three of them to choose, none of them a clear winner.
In the end I decided for the [...]

No Photos
Submitted by My Viewfinder Blog
I’ve been posting to My Viewfinder since December, 2005, and I believe this is my first post with no photo. We’re still locked in the grip of winter in the Smoky Mountains (3-6″ of snow forecast for today), and I haven’t been motivated to go fight the elements for some new [...]
Just A Few Minutes
Submitted by Howard Grill Blog
One of the intriguing aspects of nature photography is the constant realization of how things change. This is most easily apparent when returning to favorite nearby locations at various times of year. But very frequently, things change much faster than that, and perhaps no time demonstrates that more than sunrise and [...]
Accidents & Purpose
Submitted by Craig Photography Blog
Yesterday was my first day of walking outside in the cold Pittsburgh air since returning from our trip. Shoveled the driveway and went through a month of mail and then magically life returned to normal.
Received some very nice comments on my nature dreamscape photography, which felt good. The style and [...]

It’s March 1. There’s more snow in the forecast for Tuesday and Wednesday. Spring is still 20 days away officially. In the Smoky Mountains where I live, it’s another 5-6 weeks away practically. I had planned to get out yesterday afternoon with my camera, but it was just too miserably cold [...]
