The Little Things

Hello Everyone, while shooting a barn scene this summer. I happened to look into a grassy area by a fence pole. That's where I found this little guy. I was able to get a few shots off. He didn't seem to be in a rush to go anywhere.

Windmill & Barn

Hello everyone, these past couple of week's I've been going over past images from the summer to see if there is anything I missed. This shot came from an outing with Ed Heaton around Strasburg. We both processed our images in B&W. I feel that it gives a look from a different century. A time in place where things moved a little slower.

I also want to give a thank you to all my viewers of this blog. I never realised how many view's I've been getting till I checked out the stats to this page. Thank you and your comments are always appreciated.

Hope enjoy

Kelly's Run

Yesterday I hiked parts of Kelly's Run nature preserve near Holtwood. Part of the plan was to scout out area's to shoot for fall color's the other part was to see how low the is the water. Now we've had a hot and dry summer so I knew the water levels would be low, but I didn't think they would be that low. This scene was hidden between a couple of boulders and it was the only 'white' water I could find. This gorge has nice tumbling water down a gorge and if it isn't for the steep hike in and out I'd shoot more often. Hopefully we can get about 3-4 inches of good soaking ran so these creek's can fill up again. Enjoy

Hot Air Ballon

Hello everyone,

This is the first image of a couple of Hot Air Balloon image's from Sunday. Ed Harding & I spent about 45 minutes stalking this ballon. At first it was to far, then the light was bad, or a distracting background. Finally we reached a spot were the balloon seemed to stand still for a minute while low to the ground. Giving us ample time to shot off a couple of images. One of the amusing things about this is about 10 Amish buggies went by and neither of us took a shot at them.

Hope you enjoy

Warm Light on Farm

This morning I met up friend & photographer for a sunrise. Like a couple of days ago there was no cloud in the sky and a little bit of mist. This shot here is a 5shot HDR image. I used Topez Simplify to enhance the warm light and mist.

Hope you enjoy

First light on the Railroad

Here's another image from yesterday morning. We met at the Strasburg railroad. The light from the day was just starting to light up the tracks. Also I liked the silhouette of the water tank.

Hope you enjoy

Country Sunrise

Hello everyone, this morning I met up with Ed Heaton and did some farm shooting in Lancaster County. There was some area's of fog out all in all with the cool temperatures it made a nice day out. This shot was taken just as the sun was coming up over the horizon. I wished the hot air balloon was a little closer but I felt it added a little bit to what already is a nice scene.

Hope you enjoy
