Out of the Blue

Todays post comes to you from Rehoboth Cemetery.  I found this cemetery while out for a ride and stopped by to see what was there.  What I found was these really old graves sites and some amazing photo opportunities.  This one was shot using a fisheye lens and my converted D100 Nikon for the infrared.

On a side note, I can’t wait to get out with the IR camera again.

From an Era Long Ago

Tonights post is a couple of photos from a Steam and Gas Engine show that I attend every Year.  The show is called the National Pike Steam, Gas, and Horse Association and they put on one of the largest working show in the United States.  You can actually watch these neat old pieces of equipment running and moving dirt.

An Infrared Cemetery

Tonights post is a photo I took with an Infrared Camera of the small building that we cannot seem to figure out what it is.  I use a Nikon that I had converted to a color IR camera.  I think it gives the cemetery a unique look.

The Majestic Waterfall

Where I live, I am lucky enough to have an amazing park just a few miles away.  The name of the park is Ohiopyle State Park.  If you have ever been there you will agree that it is a beautiful place.  There are several waterfalls, bike trails, hiking trails, and places to relax and enjoy the weather.  Todays photo is of the main falls, which at one time had a mill built on it where the local farmers could get their grain ground.

Walking Past the Past

Tonights post is a photo I took in Pittsburgh of one of its beautiful churches.  I used a fisheye lens to get a different perspective and just got lucky with the woman walking through the frame.  I wonder how many times she has walked by this church and never took a moment to admire the beauty of the church.

Hope you enjoy.

150 Years Ago

This year marks the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg.  I have all intentions of making it there this year during the reenactments in July.

These are a couple of the statues on the Confederate side.  The gentleman on the horse is General Grant and the other photo is from Pickett’s Charge.GB Grant

 

Run Across the Street

Tonight’s’ post is a shot from Pittsburgh on Fifth Avenue.  I like to work with slow motion when shooting on the streets in the city.  I’ve been working on a series of photos all shot in the streets of the city.

This one is using a fisheye lens and slow shutter speed to get the motion of the business lady crossing the street.
