One photo a day challenge: Day 308. Continuing to explore the flower that remain blooming now that I have moved them inside. Today I wanted to focus on these teeny tiny flowers that grow on short wispy stems. These flowers grow in clumps and clusters. The fact that these individual flower blossoms are tiny will become evident. Normally when I get as close as I can to a flower with my macro… Read More

One phot a day challenge: Day 306. Cold weather is coming to my part of upstate, New York. Overnight lows below freezing for the rest of the week. I am moving a bunch of my annuals inside. I am going to try to keep my annuals alive indoors for as long as I can. Hopefully some of them will at least survive and go dormant only to return next spring. Part of… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 302. Working with more autumn themed subjects. Seasonal colors. A little more warm tones today. Corn Cob. Red seasonally colored kernels. I really like all the subtle shades of red along the ear of corn. Photographed with a shallow depth of field using my macro lens. Lit from one side with my Lume Cube lights.

One photo a day challenge: Day 290. Today I went outside at night to photograph flowers. I took my Lume Cube panel mini lights out to illuminate the subjects. I decided to photograph just one plant. I chose the Strawflower. Still blooming strong even into the fall. I worked with the variety of flowers still in bloom on the plant. Trying to find different angles to view each blossom from. Photographing each… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 287. You don’t have to like everything about every day. But you should really be ready to accept the good parts of each day as they come to you. I have spent the past 10+ years commuting 1 hour to work and 1 hour home every single day. In the past year we have been able to work from home part time. It is the best… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 263. It is always interesting photographing plants. Unless they are in a small pot I can move around. I have to work with the plant how it has grown. These trumpet shaped flowers were protruding out towards the west. I liked being able to fit these two blossoms together in one photograph. Using a shallow depth of field and choosing the point of focus delivered an… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 254. It is funny to feel like, a sense of relief at finally photographing a place because it is so close by but you have essentially never been there. Fully knowing that there is a great photographic feature there and just not making time to go there is strange. I have actually photographed this location before, but for some reason it has been literally over a… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 252. Have fun. Explore. Look around. See what you can see. Observe. Notice. Look down. The ground. The forest floor. This mushroom burst up from the ground. Pushing up through the debris. Growing tall.

One photo a day challenge: Day 244. Today was a fun day. Explored some new spaces for me. Hiked 10 miles in an area I have not spent much time in. Explored two different areas to try to capture waterfall photos. First I sought out County Line Falls. The water flow was quite low there. Not the best for photography on this particular day. Then I ventured over to Onanda Park to… Read More

Camping for us usually means activity and adventure…. I am mostly a homebody. I am definitely not a lets go out and do something kind of person. Not a night out on the town person. Things I would rather to do than go out include but are not limited to: Relax at home and binge watch a TV program I have been waiting to see. Sit and read a book. Maybe even… Read More
