One photo a day challenge: Day 68. I went for a run today and I brought my camera so that I could take some photos afterwords. The run went great. And the photography went great. I wanted to photograph this beautiful majestic tree in the park. This tree is one of the first subjects I ever photographed. I photographed it for the first time when all I had was a film camera… Read More
One photo a day challenge: Day 66. Today I spent the morning out on some trails with friends. We hiked at Watkins Glen State Park. The park is most well known for all of its waterfalls along the gorge trail. But this time of year the gorge trail is closed. We spent our time hiking the upper rim trails. Even those trails were quite icy. Make sure you wear proper footwear. I… Read More
One photo a day challenge: Day 57. Today I actually did one of the things I have been wanting to do much more of, but have actually done almost none of. Today I went for a run. And on that run I carried my camera with me. During the run I stopped and took photographs and enjoyed the scenery. I recently invested in gear I wanted to use specifically for the purpose… Read More
One photo a day challenge: Day 54. After a day working in the home office I really wanted to get outside for a little while before sunset. I wanted to go for a hike, but I did not want to spend too much of the fleeting daylight getting there. I drove down off our hill. Across the river valley. Then drove back up the other side of the valley. I went to… Read More
One photo a day challenge: Day 52. Today I really felt like I wanted to get outside. It was a beautiful day. Sunny. Relatively warm for the winter we have been having, especially lately. The goal was to go out and create some photography out in nature. Find interesting subjects. Take advantage of a beautiful day. Enjoy nature. Enjoy nature and hopefully come away with having created some beautiful images. I had… Read More
One photo a day challenge: Day 50. I walked out the door today hoping to see a dramatic sunset. It had been overcast and gloomy all day. But as evening neared the gloom began to part in places. Areas of blue began to emerge. Distinct white clouds streaked the sky. The gray was lifting slowly. Blue skies and clouds were breaking through but only in a few areas. Luckily one of those… Read More
One photo a day challenge: Day 48. Normally when I photograph plants and scenery it is all comprised of plant material that has grown and burst through the ground. When I was out trying to discover something to photograph today I was thinking about plants again. But, I stumbled across a different way to photograph plants. Looking at a plant in a way that most of us do not actually get to… Read More
I have been working more on my overall fitness of late, but my running has been taking more of a back seat than it has in the past. I probably have not run nearly as much as I have in winters past. Especially considering 2 of the past 4 years I have been training for ultras in the spring. Last year I was training for a half marathon PR. This year I… Read More
One photo a day challenge: Day 39. Sometimes I am actually thinking about what I am going to photograph for this project in advance. I really enjoy photographing flowers. Working with macro flower photography fits well into this challenge. So when we were recently out running errands, I made sure to pick up a flower to photograph while we were at the store. Macro flower photography allows me to stay inside on… Read More
One photo a day challenge: Day 32. One of the biggest challenges about being a part time photographer, especially one whose commute cuts 2 extra hours out of the day every day, is that it is really challenging to create photography that is time sensitive. This is especially true if the event or subject is something that is spontaneous and cannot be planned for or scheduled. Such as a snow storm. Thankfully,… Read More
