Yesterday I had a chance to venture to Gettysburg. I’m posting a couple of shots but will post a few more as I get the processing done.
Hope you enjoy!

A Couple of Covered Bridges
To my readers I apologize for such a long down time. No excuses just life gets in the way.
Yesterday I finally got out and enjoyed a day of photography, driving, and just enjoying the country side. I traveled through Somerset County, Pa and stopped by a couple of covered bridges then headed off to the Flight 93 National Memorial. I’ll post a few shots from the Flight 93 Memorial in another post.
Today I’m posting photos from two bridges. The first is Kings Bridge which was built-in 1802. It was rebuilt in 1906 and then again in 2008. The second bridge is Barronvale Bridge which was built-in 1830.
Hope you enjoy!

The Slides
Tonights I am posting one of my shots from a recent quick trip to Ohiopyle. The photo is of the natural water slides. During the hot summer this is a great attraction to the visitors of the park and a fun way to cool down quickly.
This was shot with a Nikon D7100. This was part of a test run with the camera to start getting a feel for how the camera works in different lighting situations and with different colors. So far I can say that I’m impressed with the color rendition and exposure of the camera.
Hope you enjoy!
Down the Fence Line
Tonights shot is a photo from Gettysburg National Battle Field. I liked the line of the fence shot through the cannon.
It’s Finally Warm Out.. Now What
Well since the warmer weather has finally ascended upon us we might be a little overwhelmed with all the fun things we can finally do. One of my favorite things to do is check out car shows and of course take along my trusty Nikon D300. (Soon to be replaced with the Nikon D7100, but that’s another post).
When you photograph car shows one of the challenges is the people at the show. It can be very challenging to photograph the cars and keep the people out of the photo. I have, over the years, accomplished this by finding interesting angles, small parts of the cars, and of course reflections. This makes photographing the cars a little more enjoyable and you are able to get around all those annoying people.
I’m adding several photos to this post to give you a better idea of what I like to photograph at car shows. Hope you enjoy!
A Spring Flower Poses for a Portrait
Tonight’s post is a close up of a Trillium. I find these flowers to be very interesting because of the how the grow in great abundance in some areas and just down the trail a few feet there will be none. There is a local park that only have white Trilliums. I have visited the area many times and never saw a single red or yellow Trillium. And yet other areas have an abundance of the red and not as many of the white.
This one was taken in Cedar Creek Park in Rostraver, Pa. This park has a mixture of red, white and yellow Trilliums. As well as many other species of wild flowers.
Hope you enjoy!
Too Much Time
When I’m out taking photos from time to time I get a little bored and then I start trying different things or just messing around. The photo below is an example of just that, I was having fun and I think this one came out kind of interesting.
See if you can guess what the subject of the photo was….
Signs of Spring
Recently I was able to get out and about with the photography group that I belong to and we took a trip to Ohiopyle State Park. We stopped at the main falls then went to cucumber falls and then a quick stop to shoot a few wild flowers. This was the first time I was able to get out for a while and I was really glad that I did.
Here are two photos of Cucumber Falls and two shots of Trilliums.

A Twisted Look
Tonight I have another fisheye photo. This one really takes advantage of the surroundings to bend them all into a circle.
More Fisheye Fun
Of all the lenses available I think the fisheye is the most fun to play with. In my opinion the lens is a great addition to your lens collection. Be careful not to overuse it as it can loose some of its “luster” if used too often.
This one was shot with a Nikon 10.5mm fisheye on a D300.
Hope you enjoy!
