Photo of the Day 04/05/10

Three today. There were more I took that I liked but I don't want to bog everyone down with tons of mundane photos that are probably only interesting to me.



This is my shed door. Why? I love textures, and this photo has plenty of them - the paint chips and rust of the galvanized steel outer wall, the rust and pitting on the hinge and the old, weathered wood. Before anyone tells me I need to take better care of my shed - it is very old and was like this when I bought the house. :P

This one was harder than I thought it would be. I'd never tried to take photos of clouds before and did not expect my standard shutter speed to give me absurdly saturated photos. It took some fiddling to get this.
