Around the neighborhood I



Since medical school started, I've had less and less time for hobbies, and in the interest of maintaining some semblance of fitness, what time I've had has largely gone to running and biking. That's meant bad things for my photography. Part of the problem is that taking good shots usually requires me getting off my butt and going somewhere worth photographing, and I just haven't made time for it.

Fortunately, fall is just around the corner here in central North Carolina, and fall has a way of making ordinary places look a little more photogenic. As a result, I'm going to try to take my camera with me whenever we take Riley for a short walk. Hopefully, I'll take a few worth posting.

Tonight was the my first try with this experiment. I'll post a similar color image later this week.

Your bolg is a great way for me to stay in touch with you...

Yesterday on NPR they were talking about unusual points of view in paintings ( Night Hawks ) It occurs to me that this shot has an interesting perspective. It appears that you may have been looking upward??

I am looking upward. That's exactly right. I wanted the sky as the background, instead of the trees that lined the horizon. That meant that I needed to get below and shoot upwards.
