For a long time I have wanted to try the idea of taking at least "One PIcture a Day." I have read this discipline helps one develop photographic skills. I have also wanted to develop "sharp eyes" that can see Interesting picture possibilities in the ordinary rhythm of life. I hope some of my photos will be beautiful, others may be unusual or serve as a photo journal. Some might be humorous and I expect some will be quite boring. Hopefully some will stimulate your thoughts and reflections.

You are Being Watched
As I was getting ready to see how close I can focus with my zoom lens I looked around to find a suitable subject. I wanted something that would show the good and bad characteristics of close up pictures with that lens. I glanced around the room and suddenly felt like I was being watched. There it was....the owl vase on the fireplace mantle. How can you feel alone with those eyes watching.
So this is what you get with a Tamron 18-200 zoom lens 1.4 feet from object. A good macro lens would have done it better I am sure. The owl doesn't care. He stares that way all the time.
He is the rest of the owl.
