Photos – NW Indiana in January

I like winters in NW Indiana. The land is very flat and a covering of snow makes for a stark minimalist beauty. Here are some photographs shot from a car in Stark and Porter Counties. said car was travelling at 55 mph and the light was low as it was dusk.

A stunning piece of advice to improve the readers photography skills.

Want to take pictures of tall statues, buildings, trees, or other tall structures, yet you can’t seem to get the whole subject in the picture? Turn your digital camera 90 degrees to the side, then focus on your subject and snap the image.

Coffee Mugs, Chairs and Legs

I haven’t posted any new photographs for months so I figured that today would be a good day to rectify that.

The sun shone for the first time in over a week so we went to the new coffee shop in town. I took my point and shoot camera and the light was good so I shot a few pics.

Free Stock Photographs and Illustrations

Over the years I’ve accumulated a lot of stock type photography and illustration type images that just sit around on various hard drives and web sites.

Foe some strange reason I felt compelled to organize at least a small fraction of them and put them on this site for anyone that has a use for them. I will be adding to them on a pretty regular basis. The images themselves are all jpegs, very high quality and a decent size. Smallest is around 1200px, most are over 2000px.

The images are free to use for commercial and personal purposes and no attribution is required.
