I think that looks great!

Photography of a restaurant. Taqueria is written across the top. Pata Roja is written in the window. The front is painted seafoam green and highlighted with yellows and reds. Shadows breakup the colors on the logo of the business. The scene is brightly lit from midday sun. The photo was taken on Court Street in Cincinnati, OH.

Another from yesterday. I enjoyed the way the shadows from the fire escape played with the colors. I've not eaten here, so I can't review their tacos, sadly. This was taken on my K10D with a 135 mm lens.

Looking up at the massive, dark red brick facade of Cincinnati Music Hall. The ornate Rose Window is the centerpiece, framed by intricate Gothic arches that create deep, moody shadows. It feels heavy, historic, and grand.

A sprawling mural of a woman with a serene expression, her shoulders draped in a vibrant red shawl. She's holding a pen or a quill.

A mural of two Cuban women playing the drums. I believe the mural was inspired by Celia Cruz. The background is pink and it says Azúcar! above them.

I played hooky from work & spent some of the day taking pictures in Over-The-Rhine, Cincinnati. I took lots and lots of photos.

My upstairs neighbor must have had the same slippers!

That duck hates you

Still life of a textured vase. The light is coming from the right. The vase is sat on orange / pink fabric decorated with flowers.

I also took a photo of this vase, I did enjoy the way the shadows play with the texture of the vase. Hope everyone has a great Thursday!

I nearly didn't get my daily picture in! I quickly grabbed some items around the house, some fabric, and a small clip light. My goal was to play with some shadows and see if i can create with as little as I could. Here are some alliums :)

Macro image of a cedar tree with English Ivy. The trunk of the tree is visible on the write with three ivy leaves (mostly) in focus.

Another day, another picture. Still trying to take, and post, a picture a day. It's the same cedar as yesterday. Today I captured some English Ivy that had wrapped around the tree.

What a great photo

That's a really beautiful shot. Love the color gradient!

Great shots. That cloud / sky photo is my favorite of the three

A picture of a cedar branch. The grey branch is on the left of the frame, the needles on the right. There are some barely visible berries on the branch.

I'm trying to challenge myself to take a picture every day. Here is todays. It's a cedar tree in my backyard. I had it wide open & missed the focus on the foreground, also the composition is a bit off IMO. What are your thoughts?

Great picture, I like it a lot!

A symmetrical, eye-level shot of a locked iron gate guarding a dark brick tunnel. Glowing overhead lights lead the eye toward the back, under a vintage metal sign that reads "ARCADE." The mood is quiet and atmospheric.

I finally edited one of the photos from Friday's night out with friends (I posted this shot earlier, but just straight from the camera). I've cropped & adjusted some of the color for the ✨aesthetic✨. Pentax K10D, 50mm vintage lens.

Two colorful star-shaped mandalas on a dark brick wall. The patterns are made of sharp triangles in shades of lime green, violet, and yellow. One mural is larger than the other, and they're both painted right over the bricks and around the building's pipes.

Another image from yesterday's urban hike with my son. Two mandalas painted on the side of a building. I thought they were lovely and colorful. Shot on a Pentax K10D with Pentax-M 50mm f/2. Super budget setup.

This was taken in Dayton, KY, USA. It's a small town near Cincinnati. We are blessed with some gorgeous buildings here. I love walking around!

Urban hike with my son today. Lovely crispy day out. Shot on a Pentax K10D with a Pentax SMC 50mm F/2 manual lens. I don't recall what I had the F stop set to for this picture.

Looking down a dimly lit street in Covington

The back door to a dive bar. White door and yellow siding.

Mutter Gottes church steeples, well lit and contrasted against a dark sky.

A blue toned look at the bottles behind a bar

Here's some additional shots from last night!

Looking down a lit tunnel with the word "arcade" written above a wrought iron gate

A street shot of a street with overhead lights angled down the sidewalk. A person leans against a door on the side.

A green toned look down a dark alley

A view down a well lit alley with a chandelier overhead

First night out with my vintage 50mm f/2 Pentax lens. It's a fully manual lens, and was a great learning experience.

More Lego pics. Playing around with a new lens for my camera, it's a vintage 135mm prime lens. Shot on a Pentax K10D dslr. Not exactly a studio setup here, just toying around while my wife and son are snoozing 😴

I got a new Rx a few years ago, for several days I felt like I lived in a fishbowl lol

A rare world leader who seemed to walk the walk. Big respect.

I love colored pencils! I can take them with me in my backpack and I leave some at my desk at work. I enjoy that they don't make much of a mess, lol.

Finished up a pencil #urbansketch that I started Sunday. Sketched while the kiddo played at the playground. Freehanding perspective has been an absolute challenge for me. It's far from great, but I'm happy to see improvement.

This is the only bird I've ever drawn. It's from Oct 2024.

BIRD PROTOCOL activated. Take a bird, leave a bird. 🪶

Castle and key is gorgeous!

They're always so ghoulish, almost giddy about it.
