Sherfy Barn

A long zoom in from across the field of the Sherfy barn from the spot as the image below. The best thing about a bridge camera is its versatility zooming to save you intense cropping.

Red Covered Bridge

Sach's covered bridge over Marsh creek in Gettysburg is my second favorite bridge to shoot. McConnell's Mills is my favorite but with both bridges the time of day and the season make or break a great picture.

Halloween Hounds

It's that time of year again. Oscar and Nittany are dressing up as a Pig and a Chicken this year for Halloween. I made up some photo composites to celebrate.

Color on the Rise

There is nothing artistic here, I just liked the colors this morning of the incredible sunrise. Just absolutely beautiful.

Sunset test

I have been getting familiar with the new Aurora 2018. If you like HDR images, this program is a must have. This sunset in my backyard was four images. I am looking forward to getting out to better locations to do some fall shots soon.

New Aurora 2018

The new Aurora 2018 has put a huge smile on my face. This is just a quick test from my backyard to experiment. So far I like what I see. I would highly recommend taking the free tutorials that come with this program to fully understand its capabilities.

Solar Eclipse Series #002

Partial solar eclipse sequence for Niagara Falls, New York.

Solar Eclipse Series #001

Here in Niagara we didn't get a total eclipse but it was still interesting. Here is a view of the partial with my Canon Powershot sx50 hs racked out to a 35mm equivalent of 4800mm. you can see the moon crossing over the sun from the right and actually make out a few sun spots on the sun.

Live Macro

My first attempt at living macro insects. Almost all my work previously has been with deceased insects but now I want to challenge myself outside the box. This yellow jacket is ok but I prefer more depth of field. I may need to switch to another camera.

Solar Eclipse (test)

My image of the sun in preparation for the upcoming eclipse. I think this will work for me. I didn't want to spend a lot of cash for special optics because we won't get a total eclipse here and it could be rainy or cloudy that day. I used my Canon powershot sx50 hs. I placed an R-79 red filter with two 2X neutral density filters on the lens. This shot was a test and handheld but for the real deal I plan on using a tripod.

Beautiful Rainbow

Maybe this rainbow I saw today means good fortune for some lucky person at the Niagara Fallsview Casino Resort.
