Storm over the Sunflower’s

August 20, 2016 — Leave a comment

Hello, it has been awhile since I last uploaded a photograph. I have had a busy summer. So much in fact I have not go to the beach to go swimming or relax. I did get to go to Washington and Oregon State which was really exciting. The summer has been hot here but still doesn’t keep me from going outside. Recently, the photography group took a trip to a brewery that had a field of sunflowers that were blooming. A storm was rolling in and added some interesting skies that day.

Looking over the Hill

July 26, 2016 — Leave a comment

My girlfriend and I occasionally go up to Libby Hill Park in the City where you can sit on the grass or bench and get a great view of the setting sun over the city. We will brings books to read while we sit there or I will walk around with my camera seeing whats going on. It sometimes can be crowded but this night was actually really relaxed. These guys came by for a stop to look before they kept walking down the street.

Falls at Great Shiplock

July 16, 2016 — 1 Comment

Hello again, I have really enjoyed using my Fujifilm XPro-2 since I picked it up. It operates a lot quicker then the XPro-1 and I love the Acros simulation in the camera. A lot of people ask me why I do not always shoot in raw at some of the photography meetings I’m at but the camera makes some wonderful jpegs to work with. I picked up a Samyang 8mm “fish-eye” lens for the camera and that is what I used for the photograph below taken with the XPro-2 in Acros simulation with a red filter setting. I hope to get more use out of this 8mm lens, it offers some great angle of view, great price and the quality is worth it. As long as you are ok with a manual focus and aperture ring.

World Trade Center Reflection

July 4, 2016 — 2 Comments

Walking in New York City down in Lower Manhattan stands the newer tower; One World Trade Center or Freedom Tower. It is the tallest in the country and is a lovely building standing next the the reflection pools and the museum for 9/11. I noticed that the reflection was easy to see in the glass on the museum of the Freedom Tower and so I captured this photograph.

Dinosaur Land

Dinosaur Land has been standing since the 1960s in White Top Virginia and still has some of the original dino’s and newer editions. It is a quirky stop on our route back from Harper’s Ferry WV. It is a little place where they have a good number of scale replica’s of dino’s from back in the day. Some large T-Rex and smaller other dino’s as well. There is also a 20 foot or longer King Kobra! This guy below looks like the Spinosaurs from Jurassic Park 3 but the size of a Rapture. There is also a King Kong there that you can go and sit or stand in his hand that is out stretched for a photo op as well. If you are near Winchester, this isn’t a bad stop, especially if you have kids and they are all about Jurassic World/Park.
