I just did some editing to evaluate how it looks on Flickr and judge of what I can do to improve.

Shooting the lightpost at about 4:30pm made it possible to illustrate (1) early evening daylight - note, the lights are not on yet and (2) the winter clouds of Texas. This photograph was shot in Kemah, Texas on Saturday, January 29th, 2011.

Getting to know my new camera (Nikon D3100). So I went to a few local parks to take some shots.

We were putting the finishing touches on a new cooling tower installation at work. 4 new units on the 6 floor level with an impressive crane doing the lifting. I managed to get a couple of shots on the way to the parking lot.

An excellent page explaining the science behind that age-old rule of thumb about sailors and red sky can be found here. The basic idea is that high pressure areas of the atmosphere tend to contain a lot of "dirty" air (soot, dust, other particles), and low angle sunlight passing through dirty air experiences scattering such that mainly reddish wavelengths arrive at the observer. As a result: "Since it is morning you are looking east, and the red sky indicates that there is high pressure there. Because you are in the mid-latitudes, the high is moving eastward--away from you. That could only mean that a low, and very likely an associated storm, is moving toward you from the west. Sailor take warning!"

I don't always shoot black & white, but when I do...

I usually create my b&w tones using a Black and White Adjustment Layer in Photoshop, and Curves. But I really like the options in Silver Efex Pro 2. I started with a preset and gave it some tweaks, then added my own ND Graduated filter to darken the top of the sky. lightpost at the end of a cloudy bridge 205

A lightpost blew over in a grocery store parking lot.

Kees, this one is just for you! ;-}

Lots of food tags today on the way to the Barc Cat Fair. These were taken walking from Greenpoint to N 1st & Wythe in Williamsburg. Some have been around for a while, some are new.

GOTR festival flags adorned every lightpost

My neighbour's light post outside their house.. all covered in icicles.. kinda picturesque.

That lightpost is actually bulging due to the amount of flyers on it. Crazy.

This is the only light post next to a building and it looks pretty old. I'm going to try and take a picture of it when it gets dark so I'll have to wait till November when we have the time change.
