Lancaster Twilight

When it comes to shooting in an urban area there is such a 'magical' time right after the sun goes down. The sky still has some color to it but at the same time all the city lights are coming on. The same holds true for the morning but you honestly would want to get up that early except for goofy photographers. This past weekend I ventured some more around the downtown area of Lancaster. Here's a shot of Penn Square my shutter was at 20 seconds at f-8. I was open long enough for the light to go from green to red. Click here for a small gallery. Hope you enjoy.

Ben Franklin Bridge & Zoo, Philadelphia

This past friday I met some friends for a sunrise shoot down near the Ben Franklin Bridge. Now the sunrise was a wash but the rest of morning was spent shooting around the bridge & the Zoo area's. Capturing some great patterns in the bridge and animals you don't see everyday in southeast Pennsylvania. click here for a small gallery. Hope you enjoy.

Suzie's Hole

Well lets start off by saying it good to be back on the Internet. After a week of no Internet you feel isolated from the rest of the world. But that didn't stop me from enjoying some quality time with the camera. I spent most of the week shooting and scouting out new area's in and around the Holtwood Environmental Area. This shot here is done in the Pequea Gorge 'Suzie's Hole.' Hope you enjoy

flow of the glen

Water is such a fascinating subject. There are so many different way's to capture the smoothness of a stream or falls. One way is shoot leading your eye down a stream. Capturing every drop in the stream is one continuous flow. This one was captured at Tucquan Glen late Sunday afternoon. Hope you enjoy.

Summer Showers

The good thing about all of this rain these past couple of week's has been the swelling of the local creeks & streams. I climbed down into this small little gorge on Saturday after a down pour to get this shot. It's an 4 shot HDR image with shutter speeds at 1 1/2, 2, 2 1/2, 3 seconds, at f-8. Hope you enjoy.

Penn Square

While out the other night I was planning to work on some traffic shots. But wound up with a nice consolation in the Veteran's memorial in downtown Lancaster. This HDR image was taken about five minutes after the sun went down. Sorry but I could not move the construction sign. It was chained; they'll be done soon, Hope you enjoy.

Lancaster County Courthouse

When people first think of Lancaster County the main thing that pops into our minds is the peaceful rural life and the amish. But there's another side of this area and that's the city. I was out doing a sunset shot this past weekend. It was actually turning into a disappointment till I got a ray of light leading my eyes straight to the courthouse dome. I added a little topez buzz to it and there you go. I hope you enjoy


Good light
