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….

Too Much Time

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.

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!

Spring Flowers Are Just Around the Corner

With the threat of 4 inches or more of snow.  I thought a quick look at a Spring flower was in order.  This is a Trillium that I photographed in Ohiopyle State Park.

I’m really getting tired of looking at old photos I can’t wait for the weather to break so I can get out and take some new photographs.
