Random Photo for 6/30/2012

 

I took this earlier in the week as a haboob was starting to come in.  As the dust threatened to extinguish the last bit of sky with the single palm tree blowing in the wind.

I was back in the downtown Chandler area tonight and the perfectly aligned palm trees with the lights on from underneath made me stop.  I took this shot focused on the close tree with the second one slightly blurred in the background.

I walked around the neighborhood looking for something interesting to shoot.  I was taking some pictures of an empty bench under some trees that looked neat with the maze of shadows from the trees overhead, and while the camera was taking that picture I looked at the trees and noticed that the streetlight was lighting the leaves up like it was fall.  The white balance being off some just helped create that look.

Went riding around the neighborhood with my camera in tow this afternoon and came across this.  I’ve seen this tree by it’s lonesome in a lot that formerly housed a mobile home, and a couple months ago, the home decided to be mobile again leaving the tree to fend for itself.  I took one photo with the tree in focus, but wasn’t really liking it as much as this version with the bars in focus and the tree unfocussed.  You can still see the colors of the sunset coming through on the tree.

Today is Monday (or at least today’s picture was taken then) and that means a new theme, this week’s theme is all about looking up.  The idea is to look at the world in a different perspective and see things you wouldn’t normally see.  This is one of the palm trees in front of the house at night.

Today is another photo from the Camera 360 app on my phone.  This is the “dreamlike” effect.  It’s a pretty basic scene, but the effect does it improve it some.

I took this photo with my phone, and since I didn’t use the Sony I forgot that I took it and forgot to post it.  This is a street sign I saw while walking Papago yesterday.  So don’t you dare think of going to Papago and parking in front of these bushes and trees or you’ll get a ticket.

Today’s photo was taken at my church.  There was a tree that was lit up on one side and I tried to capture the shadows and mood that the light was creating.
