Golden time

Golden Time in the Grass

It was the golden hour up at Big Meadows in Shenandoah National Park when we took our walk in the meadows. The sun was setting and there was no more light about ten minutes after this photograph was taken. I took it on my Fujica AX-3 with a 50mm f1.6 lens at 1.6 with Velvia 50 film.

Blurry Rhododendron on the Creek

Blurry Rhododendron

Walking along Wilson Creek in Grayson Highland State Park. It is a magical trail that follows these slightly falling creek lined with moss, rocks and these Rhododendron that hang out over the water. It was humid and the steadiness sound of falling water was the backdrop. There were probably at least 20 different types of moss I saw that lined the trail. I snapped this picture with my Fujica AX-3 with a 50mm DM 1.6 lens shot on Fujicolor 200. Shot at f1.6

Italian Water Gardens at Longwood

03780015

The Water Garden at Longwood Gardens are nice and symmetrical. Pierre DuPont designed the entire gardens and calculated the hydraulics of the water. Another interesting part is that he made the back pools 14 feet long to make it look symmetrical from the viewing point. It has been there since 1927. I took this picture on a slight overcast day with my Fujica AX-3 on Fujicolor 200.
