We’ve had enough of this, January!

All right, fine, we’re about 10 hours late on this one. I’m betting not one of you out there exists noticed.

But yes, it’s still the 31st, so still time for the end-of-month abstract. And this one is timely, at least.


Not that hard to figure out, so I won’t try to maintain the suspense, but this is the elaborate showing for the winter storm that was read more

Tip Jar 4: Bokeh


“Bokeh” is one of those photographic terms that’s a little obscure, defined at times in different ways, and has a varying impact on composition. Basically, it refers to how the out-of-focus portions of the image look, especially the highlights. In the case above, it applies to the branches in the background, which we know are branches because we have a read more

Remember, remember, the end of December

Or something like that. It’s time for the end of the month abstract, is what we’re sayin’. Unfortunately, it looks like this:


See, there were only about two things that I shot this month that looked even vaguely abstracty, and we’ve already seen those. I toyed with several different subjects, none of which even faintly worth the time, before finally getting read more

That’ll do, November – that’ll do

So we see the month close out, and what a month it was! Well, certainly a productive one from a photography standpoint, not too shabby as we enter the cold months. I’m not even sure what the count of image uploads stands at now, since I’m writing this ahead of time, but it’s at least 145 counting the ones you’re about to see, which puts it in the top ten for all of the months read more

Kill the stage lights on October

Yes, we’ve reached the end, which should be plentiful obvious if you’re in the US at least, as the frivolous but nonetheless enjoyable holiday rolls in. As we discovered last year, we see practically no Trick-or-Treaters here at Walkabout Estates Plus, which is kind of a shame – we’ll see what happens this evening.

But the End-Of-Month Abstract waits for no one! Well, except read more

Was that a September, or what?

Somehow, these months keep ending, which someone should be looking into – I’m sure this isn’t a good thing. But while it’s happening, we’ll at least keep noting this occurrence (until we don’t, anyway) with the month-end abstract. The first was not actually intended to be an abstract as such, but it worked out quite well as one, plus it looks cool. Or at least read more

Jiskaske nou rankontre ankò, August!

Squeaking in under the wire with this one, getting out two specially-produced abstract images to see August on its way (since I found absolutely nothing during my normal perambulations.) Will this make them better, or worse than normal? Who’s judging? Who’s reading?

Anyway, what I produced after a little playing around a short while ago:


A handful of people might recognize read more

Last chance for July

It’s that time of the month again – you have until midnight to get what you need from July, because after that it’s gone. We tried to warn you…

And that means it’s end-of-the-month abstract time, though I think I’m abusing the definition of that word again. But here it is anyway, free of charge, so file your complaints appropriately.


After one of read more

June isn’t

Isn’t what? Isn’t June, or at least, not anymore… or at least, not anymore once the day is out. It’s the end of the month, is what I’m saying terribly, and that means the end of the month abstract. Let’s see, I had it lying around here somewhere… oh, wait, is this it?


Well, if it’s not, it’ll have to do, because I can’t read more

Mother May I?

… post the end of the month abstract?

Waaayyy too much like others, but this is what I got, except for some that have already been posted. Maybe I’ll go create another tonight (this is being written the night before it posts.) Anyway,


Give me credit for picking the right angle, at least. I took several from this vantage, because the depth-of-field was so short and the read more
