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

Wedding Day

Hello everyone, it's been a while since I've posted, that's because on Saturday I shot my first wedding. It actually went pretty well. We did the Bride & Groom shots over in Lancaster County Park, where there must have been about six other weddings going on throughout the day. It's amazing how much prep time is used before the day. But I strongly think that's what made it flow. I hope you enjoy.

Longwood Fountains

This past weekend I made a trip to Longwood to work on some school material. I planned to stay outside for most of my time there but was cut short due to the rain. I did get enough time to get a shot off of the Italian Water Garden. Hope you enjoy

Around the bend

During my latest trip to Holtwood earlier in the week. I noticed a really nice high the water level. So Saturday I made a little trip over to Tucquain Glen, which is the same vicinity just over some ridges to Holtwood. I used a Topez Simplify filter here. The meta data for this was an ISO100, shutter speed of 1 sec at f-22. On another note for the last couple of weeks I have been shooting in straight up Manuel. For the last couple of years I have just stayed in aperture mode. I was content with controlling the amount of light that I was letting in. I'm noticing some good results by staying in Manuel. I hope you enjoy.

Spring Falls

It's amazing how time flies by in between post. The other day I realised that for the past couple of week's all I shot were portraits. To get back into the swing of spring. I made a quick little trip to Holtwood. The last time I was here it was all snow & ice. First time in awhile the water was this high. I hope you enjoy.

The view from Jefferson Memorial

Before we got soaked in DC we had a little thunderstorm go through the area. Thankfully we were inside the Jefferson Memorial. I took this shot while it was raining and the clouds took up half of the Washington Monument. When it had begun to clear up I took it again with better results. On our way back to the hotel it began to torrential downpour. Now I know my camera bag is waterproof.
