Sun on Rapids

May 21, 2016 — Leave a comment

Belle Island in the City of Richmond is such a nice place to go take a walk, ride your bike, fish and just enjoy the James River. With a groupp of photographers we headed out to capture the sun set on a pre-spring evening that had the parking lot and island crowded with people since it was so nice. I had just received my X-Pro2 that day and was enjoying using thus far. Looking west this image was capture using long exposure with the Rokinon 12mm f2 lens over Hollywood Rapids. To the right side of the photograph is where Hollywood Cemetery is above the train tracks.

Fall on the Pipeline

The pipeline is a nice little trail down by the James River in the city of Richmond. You literally walk on the pipeline as the pipe is suspended over the river for away’s before it goes in the ground further up stream. If you want to swim in the summer I know some people go down there as well.

Blossom’s enjoyed at Maymont

I really enjoy spring. Winter is going into hiding, flowers and leaves are popping out. The weather turns nicer, slight chill in the morning with nice 70 degree weather around noon. It is great for working outside and also going about the city or anywhere outdoors to enjoy whats out there. The cherry trees at Maymont are really nice and they are view able just inside the gate. There was a nice old weeping cherry tree down by the pond in the Japanese garden but it was cut down this past summer for some reason and they replanted the same type of tree just significantly younger and shorter. Honestly the blossoms are nice in color if you have the nice deep pink flowers, these are white and they look great in monochrome as well.
