Winter's Glory at Niagara

Some images from after the blizzard we had last week. Niagara endures no matter what Mother Nature throws at her.

Williamsport, MD

Some images from last trip. We stopped on the Potomac River in Williamsport, MD to shoot a few images of and around the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal.

Low Light for the Fun of it.

Truth be told I am lazy when it comes to my personal photography. I tried to be like the other photographers and lug around tons of photographic equipment with me in my travels thinking I need all this crap to get great pictures. Not to mention an old guy like me walking around with twenty thousand dollars of photo gear or leaving it in a hot car or motel room was very stressful. I definitely do not like to shoot on a tripod. Most times a tripod is not permitted at some of these locations so you need to be able to travel light and shoot fast. The examples I show you here were all shot without a tripod and all but one was shot with a Canon power shot SX50 HS. I used a Nikon D3 on the first one, handheld. My point is don't be a slave to your equipment and have fun taking your pictures instead. Learn your camera and how to expose properly. Hold it steady or use a wall or brace to eliminate camera shake. Then post process your images in Photoshop CC.

Bromeliad

Colorful bromeliad at the Erie County Botanical Gardens in Lackawanna NY. I liked the swirl of color from this plant.
