Longwood Gardens – HDR – Indoor Landscape: “The Lawn”

This is another image from our weekend trip to Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, PA. As I said in my previous post, what I had hoped would be a quiet winter morning in the Conservatory (like we had spent there last year) quickly [...]

Fire and Ice

(1/2 sec @ f/22; ISO 100; 0 EV; FL 43mm)

Image was made yesterday morning at Lake Galena in Peace Valley Park (Bucks County, PA) in the minutes before sunrise. The lake obviously was frozen.

Used my Canon 50D; 24-70 2.8L w/ a 3-stop graduated neutral density filter; all tripod mounted.

When I got home and looked at [...]

On the Rocks

Yet another image from last weekend’s trip to Sandy Hook, NJ. I was drawn to this scene by the way the ice had formed on the rocks. After getting home and processing the image, I found that I wasn’t really pleased with what I had. There was, believe it or not, too much blue. Blue [...]

Sandy Hook (NJ) Back Bay Wetlands (Horizontal Pan)

(0.8 sec @ f/22; ISO 100; -1/3 EV)

(0.8 sec @ f/22; ISO 100; -1EV)

These were the only blurs that I did during our recent (weekend past) trip to Sandy Hook, NJ. The layers of water/ice followed by reeds followed by more water/ice and more reeds before finally reaching the sky just seemed to beg for [...]

Sunrise, Sandy Hook, NJ – 01/16/10

8.0 sec @ f/22; ISO 100; -1/3 EV

6.0 sec @ f/22; ISO 100; -2/3 EV

Barb and I were up at 0400 and headed off for Sandy Hook. We arrived before sunrise, actually before civil twilight, and I set up on Chokecherry Beach to photograph the sunrise. The morning was tad cloudier than I had hope [...]

Where many have gone before…

Creativity and the creative process itself are things that many have sought to explain. During the course of my undergraduate and graduate education which was in psychology, I crossed paths many times with those much more learned and much more famous that me who wrote volumes on the creative process. But sometimes it is the [...]

Just about when you are ready to give up…

Cold (17F), blustery (20-30 mph winds) but we decided to go out this morning anyway. Admittedly most of the morning was spent in the car driving from site to site looking for birds for my wife (we found the albino hawk she wanted to see) and anything for me to shoot. After two hours, I [...]

Of Moss and Lichens

These are two more images from last Sunday morning’s walk in Jacobsburg State Park (PA). Very early in our walk along the Henry’s Woods Trail, we hit an area where every tree trunk was covered by either lush, bright green moss or scaly, lighter green lichens. I couldn’t resist the photo opportunity so I took [...]

Trail at Sunrise

With the holiday and the nasty weather, most of this weekend blew by without any opportunity to get out and make some images. So when I woke up this morning around 0400, looked out the front door and saw stars in the sky; I knew we just had to get out somewhere for sunrise. Being [...]
