Simple Clicks – Autumn Sunrise
Saturday morning at Bullhead Bay, Lackawanna State Park, at sunrise. Not the most spectacular sunrise, given the mostly bald sky, but still great to be out in the field for it, especially with the fog swirling across the water. The foliage is at peak, maybe just a little before. And of course the dock is [...]
Simple Clicks – The Road Through Autumn
We’re at about peak autumn right now in Northeastern PA. The excess rain of the past month isn’t going to help the foliage at all, and we’re already seeing a lot of brown, including trees that have skipped the whole colored stage altogether. The good news is that the past few days have been great: [...]
A Very Successful Outing
Despite a very cold start, Saturday morning proved to be a huge success. As my wildlife followers have surely noted, I hung up the 300L for several weeks to focus on some portraiture. It’s not so much a matter of getting bored with one aspect of photography as it is missing another – after a [...]
Autumn in B&W
It sounds contradictory, but I firmly believe that some of the best autumn photographs are done in black & white. Despite the array of colors that is present at no other time of year, there’s a special quality that B&W brings out. Of course, part of the challenge is finding the right conversion into B&W, [...]
Simple Clicks – Autumn Stream
Finally made it out to Little Rocky Glen, after several weekends of trying. It’s a bit cliche, the whole long-exposure-stream-in-fall image, but it’s one of those iconic images that I find myself wanting to make year after year. The trick is trying to find new ways to make the image; in this case, a little-shot [...]
Simple Clicks – Sunrise in the Valley
I’ve been wanting to make this image for some time now and finally got enough cooperation out of the weather to give it a try. Turns out this isn’t exactly the image I wanted – I’d have preferred a bald sky, believe it or not. But it’s going to have to be good enough for [...]
Simple Clicks – Evening on the Water
At this moment, I’d have given my kingdom for a 70-200 IS. Instead, I had the 24-70 EX mounted – it just wasn’t enough. The image above is already cropped in as far as I dared. It was a catch-22 – to move closer I’d have to abandon the stump I was standing on, losing [...]
