Promised Land
Out at Promised Land last night to take advantage of the perfect weather before the rain moves in tonight. It was well worth the drive – the light was perfect. I know it’s a successful outing when I start forgetting about things; I focus on the light and the scene and stop worrying about how [...]
Party in B&W
Spent the weekend with family – mostly driving back and forth across town to have different meals with family. Good times, and of course I had the camera in hand, so here are a few shots.
Easter: the usual
Easter has come and gone now, one of those quieter holidays where I planned to show up with the camera and a lens or two in the little shoulder bag, make a few images throughout the day, and keep it low-key. That lasted until an hour before we left, when I ended up packing the [...]
Easter Morning
I was going to sleep in Sunday, but the chance of a good sunrise dragged be out of bed while it was still dark. Looking for a shorter drive, I ended up at Lackawanna State Park, struggling to make something of a modest dawn. I tried the blue/yellow polarizer trick at first, but didn’t like [...]
Promised Land
A couple from Promised Land State Park this morning – headed out for sunrise. Light didn’t get too dramatic, but it was still good to be out again – and not freezing my butt off!
Five Year Plan
Until this point in my life, a five year plan was something I’d never given thought to. It was hard enough knowing what I’d be doing in five months, much less an entire year or longer. Such are the luxuries of being a student – your whole life is measured in semester increments. Now that [...]
Simple Clicks 02/21
Some more simple shots, taken with the SX-120 (last two with 7D). The idea here is to see colors/shapes/patterns/potential in unlikely, unexpected everyday things, and take a photo. It’s as much for the same of using my eye and the camera as anything, and while I wouldn’t go so far as to call these art, [...]
NEPA Snow Day
Today was a snow day and almost everything in NEPA shut down. We ended up with around 6″, maybe a little more – good fluffy snow, although it was starting to get heavy and wet by the time I ventured out for the second round of shoveling. The roads were too bad for any outings, [...]
Amazing models & photos
This one came up in the DPChallenge forums; one of the members there found Michael Paul Smith’s photo stream “Photos of my models.” My first thought had been models, as in, people posing for photos. What Mr. Smith has put together is – at least in my opinion – even cooler. This is a photo [...]
