Found this in the Calvary Catholic Cemetery in Pittsburgh. I thought it was interesting.

Farmall in Infrared
Just a quick shot from the steam show. This was shot with a Nikon D100 which was converted to infrared.
From an Era Long Ago
Tonights post is a couple of photos from a Steam and Gas Engine show that I attend every Year. The show is called the National Pike Steam, Gas, and Horse Association and they put on one of the largest working show in the United States. You can actually watch these neat old pieces of equipment running and moving dirt.
An Infrared Cemetery
Tonights post is a photo I took with an Infrared Camera of the small building that we cannot seem to figure out what it is. I use a Nikon that I had converted to a color IR camera. I think it gives the cemetery a unique look.
Think…
Tonights post is a picture I took last summer while walking around Pittsburgh. I was walking down a little alley and found this written on the wall in chalk. I’ll let the words speak for themselves. I don’t know if this a direct quote or not but it really makes you THINK…..
The Majestic Waterfall
Where I live, I am lucky enough to have an amazing park just a few miles away. The name of the park is Ohiopyle State Park. If you have ever been there you will agree that it is a beautiful place. There are several waterfalls, bike trails, hiking trails, and places to relax and enjoy the weather. Todays photo is of the main falls, which at one time had a mill built on it where the local farmers could get their grain ground.
The Disappearing Foot
So if you have been following my blog you may have noticed that I like to do things a little different. Odd angles, fisheye lens, slow shutter speeds and use of light for effect. Tonights post follows along in the same fashion. If you haven’t noticed, I like.. no wait.. love, spending time in the city. To me the city has so much to offer and I can’t seem to stop finding new things to photograph. Those that live and work in the city may find things mundane and uninteresting. But sometimes just by slowing down and sitting on the corner you may find something interesting to watch. That is exactly how this group of photos came into existence. I do have to admit that the idea was given to me by a friend, but I think I put my own twist on the subject. By the way, if you do this you may get a few strange looks and concerning questions but hey that’s half the fun.
Hope you enjoy the mystery of the Disappearing Foot.

Walking Past the Past
Tonights post is a photo I took in Pittsburgh of one of its beautiful churches. I used a fisheye lens to get a different perspective and just got lucky with the woman walking through the frame. I wonder how many times she has walked by this church and never took a moment to admire the beauty of the church.
Hope you enjoy.
150 Years Ago
This year marks the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg. I have all intentions of making it there this year during the reenactments in July.
These are a couple of the statues on the Confederate side. The gentleman on the horse is General Grant and the other photo is from Pickett’s Charge.
Light and Shadow
Tonights photos take a look at the use of light and shadow to create a mood in the photo. I like to look for situations, like the ones in these photos, where the light and shadow give a dark look to the photo. You will see in the first and third photo that the mood is different from that of the middle one.
Let me know what you think.
Hope you enjoy.
