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 [...]

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 [...] My wife and I went out a bit just before sunset yesterday. She went in search of Piliated Woodpeckers and Great Horned Owls and I went in search of some interesting photo opportunities. She found the Piliateds and we heard the Owls. And I found some interesting compositional opportunities for vertical pans/in-camera motion blurs. The first image [...] right around sunrise. So we had a change of plans. We were going into NYC today. Nothing special. Walk around a bit. Visit B&H. Pick up a couple of small things. Window shop. Visit Rockefeller Center. Have lunch. Stuff like that. Barb wasn’t overly excited about going. Weather tanked. And I could get the Fisheye optic [...] I hope you didn’t think I was walking away from abstracts be they motion blurs, Lensbabies or whatever! I just took a short break. This morning I went out before sunrise and made a variety of images from the real to the possibly surreal. This falls toward the abstract side but probably in the middle [...] It was just that kind of day yesterday. When I got up yesterday the forecast was for overcast with fog. I was really interested in shooting in the fog so I got charged up… until I looked outside and saw clear skies and no fog. Yep it was a cloudless morning with bright sun. I [...] Objective: To expand the scope of my infrared photography beyond the typical, expected IR landscapes. Technique: Used an IR-converted camera for the image. I knew I wanted to experiment with vertical pans/motion [...] Objective: Capture the patterns of bright light and deep shade in a stand of tall pines. Technique: Vertical pan/motion blur. Location: Peace Valley Park, Bucks County, Pa.
(1/3 sec @ f/22; ISO 100; 0 EV; FL 60mm) If you have been following my blog for the past couple of weeks, I don’t have to tell that I have been spending a bit of time in almost every field session working on in-camera motion blur images. The prevailing wisdom is that motion blurs work [...] These images were made back in mid-October before my trip to Cuyahoga Valley National Park for the Tony Sweet Workshop. I wanted to test out my 70-200mm f/2.8L IS with a Kenko 1.4x teleconverter so I took the lens and TC along with my 30D to the office and went out into a local park [...] |
