Weekend Flickr Find: Signs of the Past
As most of these photogs found out, the past is not that hidden if you know where to look:

How it works:
Weekend Flickr Find is a weekly series, each Friday we will post a Weekend Photo Focus (also hash tagged on Twitter as #weekendphotofocus) on a certain subject, something to spark your creativity. An empty weekend for a photographer, is like an empty canvas, we could always use something to do when we have nothing planned right? So with this in mind we created this series, one that will get you out doing what you love. The premise is simple: snap some photos over the weekend dealing with the weekends focus, and if you send them to us, or Tweet them to us, we will post them for others to see. Having a focus will help us as artists & photographers see things that we might not always see, make us take a shot at something we might otherwise have not. In seeing other photogs chase after the same focus, it can only breed even more creativity in our own work.
At the weekends close, we will follow up our weekend focus, with what we found on Flickr (including some of the photos from you) that falls in line with our focus. We hope you join in the fun and help us spread the creativity.

Back in the saddle again…
What a beautiful weekend to shoot outside. It was also nice to have a focus “Signs of the Past”! I was so excited to get back out and taking some awesome photos. Back in the late 80’s early 90’s was the last time period that I was focused on photography. No digital cameras back then, only 110 and 35mm were the two choices I had back then. I can’t believe how time has changed photography, but thanks to the digital technology we have today I am a shutter bug once again and it feels good.
Getting back to the Weekend Focus, one of the most important thing that I learned was to just put the camera setting to manual and actually work the camera. It is so easy to be complacent with setting the camera to AUTO and not even think about it. Don’t set it and forget it. Who’s in charge, the camera or you? Just do it! Your photos will thank you later.
So be daring and go out and use the manual settings and take some better pictures. That is precisely what did and you can too! See more of my photos from “Weekend Photo Focus: Signs of the Past” at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/rgm-studios/
Thank You Fuel for inspiring me once again!
