Welcome to 365pixels 👋🏻
Home for my 365 photo challenge, where I attempt to take and post a photo every day for the year.
Click on Photos to see all the photos on one page or scroll down. You can find more pictures and some not-very-good blogging at Cliff538.
I hope the pictures bring a smile and inspire you to take more pictures.
Thank you for stopping by.
Another day of being totally out of commission. I haven’t had a cold/flu this bad in a long time. Very short walk today, captured a plane flying through the open blue sky. Energy-wise, that’s all I got!
Hope it’s a safe, beautiful day. Make someone smile today. ☺️
Oh, and don’t forget, take more pictures!
P.S. Just a thought I’ve been mulling over, even if you don’t journal, taking pictures is a life-journal of sorts. If you scroll back through your phone’s camera roll, that’s your life. Now, I still think you should journal and attach those daily photos to your journal, but if not. Take more pictures, because that photo roll can be your journal.
Even if it’s mundane things, capture that moment. We aren’t taking pictures so much as capturing snapshots of time in your life. Look at all the joy and things you have remembered by scrolling back through your pictures. It’s powerful. Photography is powerful. Capture your life. Snap away.
Quiet day on the photography front. Home, sick as a dog with a bad chest cold. I went out for a short walk, but the coughing soon forced me back home. I can’t complain, this past year I’ve beaten back almost every cold/flu. This one got me good.
It was this picture or one of a tissue box. 😊 Stay safe, everyone.
Tried pushing the iPhone (and my skills) to the limit on this one.
Birds in flight are tough enough, but with an iPhone, you’re mostly just hoping for the best. I fired off a lot of frames in RAW, knowing the sensor would meter for the bright sky and leave the bird in shadow. Shooting RAW at least gives you a chance to recover shadows and highlights.
Zooming in tight was basically impossible, so I shot wide and planned to crop later. This isn’t a bad result, all things considered. It’s heavily cropped, and I used maximum shadow recovery to pull out detail in the pelican, which gives it a slightly “crispy” look—pretty much the classic sign of heavy shadow recovery.
Still, for a bird‑in‑flight shot on an iPhone, I’m pleasantly surprised.
This church/school has shown up before, but I can’t resist its lines and how it looks in flat black-and-white. It ended up being the only photo I took today, grabbed during a 4-mile walk with the dogs. Trying to shoot while juggling two dogs is just about impossible—especially with my two unruly ones. The rest of the day has been all office work and no shooting, sadly.
Long damn day. Long three-day trip. I’m tired. Exhausted. Ready to be home.

Recently received a new lightbox and wanted to take some test photos. I used my iPhone and struggled to keep the neck and cap, along with the label, in focus. Did not get the results I wanted, but the experimentation will continue!
Lucky to get a Palm Springs layover, beautiful evening, great walking, and outstanding food.
Tough day on the photo front, really busy at work, and not much time to shoot. Had to get creative and go for some abstract shots.
After the hot, dusty hike yesterday, the gym pool was the way to go today.
Friends don’t let friends shoot in the harsh noon sun. Lots of pictures today and nothing really to work with. Hard to recover overblown highlights and true colors. That harsh, high-in-the-sky sun just washes everything out. Yet, we try! When that’s what you got, you use it to the best of your ability.
Nice hike in the red dirt.
