If there is any time of year that is my favorite it is probably when we have the changing colors of fall. That burst of color livens up the environment like no other. It enhances every aspect of being outdoors and I love it for my creativity and photography. The biggest challenge is that that time of year most closely associated with the fall season does not last the entire season. It… Read More
Just a short drive could be the key to unlocking photography. I live in an area full of overwhelming natural beauty. I often don’t have to go far to find photography subjects that I love. However, I love to photograph a great many things. And as they say variety is the spice of life. So, I try to mix it up in my photography. Letchworth State Park has a landscape like no… Read More
The fall leaves seem to be dropping from the trees so fast this year. Quickly shifting through shades of color. Brown leaves drop. Scattering on the ground. Blowing down the road. I love fall foliage and I feel like I have missed almost all of it already. I really wanted to get outside and hike in it and photograph the fall leaves. On Friday after work I headed up to Ithaca to… Read More
I love being out in the woods. I love trees. And I especially love trees with a unique look or texture to them. Think peeling flaking bark. Jagged lines and textures. Different shapes and surfaces. Tree trunks with color. Colors often generated by living in communion with other living organisms. Moss, lichen, vines. Most of all I like shape and texture. And the more unique and interesting it is the more I… Read More
I am fascinated by leaves. They appear almost as if from nowhere. If you aren’t paying clos enough attention, one minute trees are bare and the next second they are full of lush green leaves. The most fascinating times to see leaves are when they are first beginning to grow and emerge in the spring and when they are changing colors and falling in the Autumn. It is during these two times… Read More
Letchworth State Park is a beautiful place to visit. Its beauty is featured in so many different ways. Waterfalls, Rivers, Gorges, Overlooks, Trees, Forest, Trails. And the scenery is different depending on when you visit and the seasons. Not to mention this park is quite large. The shear size of the park makes it a challenge to see just the highlights on a day trip. The park deserves a multi day adventure…. Read More
If you are thinking about going gout to take some photos don’t sleep on your small local parks. It is easy to always desire a trip to our many beautiful state and national parks. Going out to someplace that is more wild. Especially if you are a nature, landscape, or wildlife photographer. But, those are not the only places to find those parts of our natural world. There is a lot of… Read More
Over the years of photography I have added a few new photography tools to my kit. Each time I add a new tool it is because it serves a specific purpose. A purpose that will hopefully be able to capture new images. I often don’t get out to take photos as much as I would like during the colder months here in New York. So, whenever I have a chance I try… Read More
The waterfall trail at Rickets Glen State Park is one of the most beautiful places I have been to. It is a place I constantly think of returning to but for some reason or another never seem to make it there. I have maybe been there a handful of times at most. But this year as part of my commitment to do more fall photography than I have in past years it… Read More
Acadia National Park is one of my favorite places to visit. There is so much to see and do there. I don’t often travel to the same place multiple times, because I like to explore as much brand new scenery and have as many brand new experiences as I can. But there is just something about Acadia National Park that draws me back. Part of what draws me to Acadia National Park… Read More
