Photo Challenge Day 19 – Aspen Path at Gore Creek

by Ryan DavisonPhotography May 20, 2018June 6, 2018No Comments

For this photo I traveled to a Rocky Mountain meadow just outside of Vail Colorado. Well, I didn’t go there just for the photo ops. I was in the area for a family gathering and was able to slip away for a few hours in the morning when the rest of the world was sleeping. …

Photo Challenge Day 18 – Bridge Truss

by Ryan DavisonPhotography May 19, 2018June 6, 2018No Comments

Today’s image is of a bridge truss. I was traveling and didn’t have time to think about a subject. So when I saw all of the great lines this bridge truss was showing, I decided to make it mine. Anyway, I have a thing for industrial structures. 30 Days of Photos – Day 17 …

Photo Challenge Day 17 – Thyme Blossom

by Ryan DavisonPhotography May 18, 2018June 6, 2018No Comments

Ok, today was bad. I forgot to take a photo all day because I was so busy. So toward the end of the day I just looked around for the first thing that had some color to it and used that as a subject. The obvious choices were the potted perennials and annuals in my …

Photo Challenge Day 16 – Water Splash

by Ryan DavisonPhotography May 17, 2018June 6, 2018No Comments

I like freezing motion as much as long exposures of things that stay still. Today I played around with water splashes. None of them came out exceptionally clear since it’s hard to judge exactly where the splash is going to be. But this is one of the better images. My son likes it because when …

Photo Challenge Day 15 – Killdeer Chick

by Ryan DavisonPhotography May 16, 2018June 6, 2018No Comments

A few weeks ago I discovered a Killdeer Plover nest along the route I walk in my neighborhood. Each day I would walk past and the parents of the eggs would run out to meet me and try to distract me away from the nest. They seemed extra anxious this week and I guess it’s …

Photo Challenge Day 14 – Lava Water

by Ryan DavisonPhotography May 15, 2018June 6, 2018No Comments

I have to water my lawn with city water instead of irrigation. So I hate to see it run off, flow down the street and go down the drain. But at least in this case I was able to take advantage of it to get this cool picture. 30 Days of Photos – Day 14

Photo Challenge Day 13 – Colored Pencil Tube

by Ryan DavisonPhotography May 14, 2018June 6, 2018No Comments

For a while now I’ve been wanting to make a pencil holder or a pencil box out of pencils. Of course regular pencils are a little boring so I decided to go with colored pencils. I’ll write up a post in the future about how to make them. For now I’ll just show you the …

Photo Challenge Day 12 – Shadow of a Tree

by Ryan DavisonPhotography May 13, 2018June 6, 2018No Comments

For today’s photo I went outside at night and hunted out shadows made by the streetlight on my corner. I’m sure my neighbors thought I was insane for standing outside on my lawn with a tripod and camera in the dark. But what do they know? I liked this image because it looks like some …

Photo Challenge Day 11 – Pink Celosia

by Ryan DavisonPhotography May 12, 2018June 6, 2018No Comments

I’ve been slowly building my container garden in the back yard. One plant I really enjoy is Celosia. It’s feathery spires come in several different colors. I have pink orange and red. The orange are brilliant and deep in color but I chose the pink because it’s a unique color to my garden and my picture of it was sharper than my pictures of the orange ones. I’ve been taking a lot of flower, garden and nature pictures lately due to all of the spring blooms. Hopefully I can keep some color throughout much of the summer. But it will start getting harder as the temperature starts getting hotter.

Photo Challenge Day 10 – Fairy Light Bottle

by Ryan DavisonPhotography May 11, 2018November 1, 2018No Comments

I thought I would take a crack at long exposure photography for day ten of my photo-a-day challenge. This bottle of Avocado oil takes on a magical look with wisps of light trails surrounding it. The light source for the entire image was a single mini light from the dollar store.
