Petersburg Photowalk

Walking with my photography group we headed to Petersburg which is just south of Richmond VA down I-95. The idea since it has a lot of old structures that we would do black and white. I shot with my X-Pro1 on a Rokinon 12mm f/2 and Fuji 35 f/1.4 lenses.

The Love sign is a Virginia thing, since Virginia is for Lovers!

The 12mm lens with the f/2 is great, fully manual but fun to use an can not wait to use it for landscape photography in the future.

I have to get back to Petersburg again, there was a lot to see.

The 12mm really  gets a lot and I know there is a 10-24mm f/4 from Fuji but significantly more.

Lots of shadows and there was still snow on the ground from our storm that came through.

Expired Velvia at Peaks of Otter

Peaks of Otter is a little destination in the mountains along the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia. There is a lodge and a camping ground surrounded by 3 mountains. In the image below the lodge is on the lake and Sharp top is standing tall behind it. It is a nice place and depending when you go might be very busy. When you get the opportunity also drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway, it is very beautiful in every part.

Fallen apples at Carter Mountain

Carter Mountain is like a staple weekend trip for the people I know in the fall time. You can drive up the mountain and pick apples straight from the tree. It can be a great time but you eventually realize that you have way to many apples in your bag and feel bad to waste them.

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.
