Rusted Light

I enjoy walking downtown after work if I can. Usually though I get out of work around 4-4:30pm and doesn’t allow me enough time to go home get changed and get to the city before it is already dark. There are a few days though I get out early and the summer is always nice as I have plenty of time after work before the sun sets. I was walking with my Konica Hexar AF this day with some Fuji Pro400h loaded in. Occasionally I see some old cars and some old rusty cars still being used parked downtown. I captured this in mid fall.

Expired Film at Big Meadows

So I went up to Big Meadows in Shenandoah National Park back at the beginning of November. I was with some family and we had a great time and I brought a few cameras to get a variety of photographs on various formats and films. The colors were mostly gone in the trees but the reds in the meadows showed well. Fall in the park is a magical thing indeed.

Charlottesville Walkabout

Last weekend I held a club meetup where we headed up to the City of Charlottesville to meet another club. It was a pretty good time and the weather was great; not to cold and not really hot. The light was a little harsh when we started but the rest  of the day was great. Charlottesville is a great little city with color in the fall and has a great university  and has a small downtown mall that is pedestrian only, this is where we were. We also went out to get a drink later on that night at the Commonwealth Sky Bar which is a rooftop bar, it had heaters which made it more comfortable.

My time at the Beach

I didn’t get much time at he beach this year. I stopped by a few times during work but only got two weekends of actual vacation there. The last time I went it was during a storm that was coming up the coast and causing coastal flooding so I wouldn’t have called that a “real” beach day. The one weekend though had great weather and offered some great walks out on the sand. that is when I captured this photo.

Seaboard Lounge Car at Parksley VA

Recently I been going to the Eastern shore for work a bit this Summer in Virginia. There is a small town called Parksley in Accomack County not to far from the known Assateague Island National Seashore which has the wild ponies. At this town there is a little railroad museum that has a few interesting cars including a Seaboard Lounge Car that is steel clad and super shinny. Looked great for a black and white shot.
