One photo a day challenge: Day 282. Today we went up to Seneca Lake State Park. Sitting at the tippy top of the north end of Seneca Lake. It was great. Cloudy and foreboading. The wind was whipping. The waves were crashing. It was perfect for a nice 4 mile walk along the walkway that traverses the width of the north end of the lake. Watching waves crashing. Birds Soaring. People kite… Read More
One photo a day challenge: Day 281. I was photographing random woodland fall scenes today. Really looking for scenes that incorporate leaves. There wasn’t a ton of color in the leaves yet. The leaves on the ground were not particularly colorful either. There was some fun stuff to shoot, but nothing was really catching my eye. Then I saw this leaf. I loved that this leaf looked like a little critter had… Read More
One photo a day challenge: Day 280. Something a little different today. Went with my small super portable set up today. Used my small Joby tripod. 20 mm lens on the Sony Alpha mirrorless camera body. Walked down to a small stream. Captured some images with longer exposures ranging from .4 seconds to 1 second. I was really trying to capture some of the color of the leaves in the stream. But… Read More
One photo a day challenge: Day 279. Today I decided to return to the same flowers I photographed yesterday. I moved the placement of the flower pot from the ground to the railing. This will create a different angle of view that I will be shooting from. I arranged my lighting in a different configuration. The flowers will be illuminated differently than yesterday. There was less rain today. The level of moisture… Read More
One photo a day challenge: Day 278. I think this has been the rainiest summer into fall season I can ever remember. It seems to rain so frequently that it is impossible to do anything that actually requires dry weather, like dry out a tent after camping. Fortunately photography doesn’t require dry weather. All this rain has really allowed me to explore shooting in low light. Using artificial light. Finding interesting angles… Read More
One photo a day challenge: Day 277. Quite a rain soaked day here in my neck of the woods. It rained almost all day. Consistently rainy. Quite heavy rains at times. It rained so hard that even the flowers under the porch roof were speckled with rain drops. Fortunately for me this creates a nice little opportunity for some macro photography. Working the light and shallow depth of field to isolate a… Read More
One photo a day challenge: Day 276. Today was a big day for a lot of people in our area. One of the biggest races in our region. Wineglass Marathon and Half Marathon. So many people show up to this race. Going out and running to give it their all. Fighting for PR’s. Striving to run the farthest they have ever run. First time marathoners and half marathoners. All in the mixed… Read More
One photo a day challenge: Day 275. Had a fun busy day today. Ran a half marathon in the morning. In the afternoon attended and volunteered at the Annual meeting of the Friends of the Chemung River Watershed Fun event. Music. Dinner. Roast and Toast. More Music. And maybe a moment for the ED to sit and relax for a minute when all is said and done.
One photo a day challenge: Day 274. One of my favorite things about dog shows is watching dogs do things they truly love. The there is the fun challenge of trying to capture those amazing moments with my camera. During agility these dogs look like they are having so much fun. You can just see the joy on this Rottweiler’s face. Clearing the hurdles on the way to the finish line of… Read More
It is one of my favorite times of the year. Dog show time. And after a year of no dog shows it was so nice to be back at my favorite dog show. I spent the entire day from 8 am till after 4 pm photographing the show. And it was still going on when I left. And I didn’t see nearly all there was to see. Its impossible. With Conformation, Rally,… Read More
