Sapsucker in the Spring
With the return of the birds in the spring migration, I made a run up to Sapsucker Woods a couple of weekends back to check in and see what was flying about. Sapsucker Woods is one of my favorite places to photograph and I make several trips there each year between spring and autumn. [...]
A new ship
The search – and research – is finally over and I’m the proud owner of a brand new kayak! I came home earlier this week with a Wilderness Systems Ride 115 and have already gotten everything ready so that I can take it out over the weekend. Turns out the Ride wasn’t even one of [...]
A new adventure
*Note: this post went live on Saturday, so some of you may have seen it. It wasn’t supposed to, as it was still lacking photos and some final edits. Not sure what happened there, but oh well – here it is again, in its final form. It’s time for a new adventure, so starting this [...]
Winter, unexpectedly – panoramas
While shooting my unexpected winter landscapes at Promised Land State Park, I made a few panoramas as well. No surprise there. And several of them came out well – I’m very pleased with them, perhaps even more so than the single-frame images, which just don’t capture the feel of this morning the same way. This [...]
Winter, unexpectedly
Driving out for my third eagling expedition (where the feeder shots in the last post came from), I was surprised to find the landscape along the highway blanketed in a layer of new snow. Scranton was bare when I left – we’d had a few flurries overnight but nothing that stuck. But a mere fifteen [...]
Eagling: take 2
I spent Saturday afternoon out at Mongaup Falls and on the Plank for what was easily a tie for the best eagling experience I’ve yet had. All I can say is wow! Couldn’t have asked for a better day. In the wake of Winter Storm Nemo (which was kind of a joke here in PA), [...]
Best of 2012
These are my favorite images from the past year. Some are simple, others more complex; most have been seen on here before. It’s easy to forget about good shots from a few months ago, and fulfilling to go back and look through tagged images to re-discover them. Pulling this collection together, I feel better about [...]
NYC at Christmastime
I’m back from the Big Apple, that crazy city on the island that thinks it’s the center of the universe. It was part two of my bi-yearly pilgrimage, brought on by a combination of Mandy’s asking to go, and cheap tickets on a bus chartered by a friend’s family. Not having to drive makes it [...]
Morning at Kent Pond
Back to Kent Pond two mornings after my first visit, this time with a mind to shoot the pond itself against the backdrop of the Green Mountains – which were looking a bit more brown this particular morning, being sadly free of snow. But the sunrise was decent and the rising light side-lit Pico Mountain [...]
Kent Brook Falls
We got to Vermont on Tuesday last week and by Wednesday I was already itching to get out with the camera. In part because I hadn’t done much shooting lately, and because whatever its other faults are, Vermont is a seriously beautiful place. Even in this post-autumn, pre-snow stage when the landscape might just be [...]
