Me roaming neighborhoods and looking around sometimes attracts suspicion of the locals:

Winter Rose:

(One of my first shots with a new lens.)

Birb with reflection:

Mannequin House:

This is near me, but I never shot it before. I fell into the trap of thinking it's a cliche thing to shoot. A lot of photographers fail to shoot things they see often, or see others shoot, because they think it's over-done. It's rarely that overdone, it just seems that way when it's a familiar sight.

Busy Corner Grocery:

I've been seeing lots of skellingtons recently:

I found a nice big house that had a yard full of ... phone boxes?:

3 in this shot, at least 2 more on the property.

Suspiciously, it's near a this little free library:

I had a problem when shooting the TARDIS with the camera seeing things I could not. The fence was solid to me. My camera picked up all the distracting trash behind it. I tried to minimize the problem, but I think I need to shoot it in different lighting. I expected a very smooth background and that is not it. I tried with my phone, but damn the iPhone's much hyped ability to shoot in low lighting is ... just hype.

I should be glad that phone photography isn't nearly what the hype or fake viral campaigns make it out to be, but I am still salty at my new phone performance sometimes.

Now back to sorting all of this so I can do a nice, organized back up.
