Fresh snowfall
Sunday morning finally gave me an actual, cloud-free sunrise, coupled with maybe a half-inch of fresh snow – perfect conditions to get out and shake off some of the cobwebs that keep building during these seemingly endless stretches of cold, bland weather.

Lost in the fog
Spent Saturday morning up at Lackawanna State Park, lost in one of the thickest fogs I can remember having seen in a while. The lost part is, of course, more about my state of mind than any lack of physical orientation, which I figure is a better kind of lost all around. It’s comforting in [...]
First Frost Panoramas
Back to last Saturday morning for a few of the promised panoramas of NEPA’s first frosty morning. Starting with the image above, which isn’t the traditional long panorama, but is still a two image composite that let me crop into a square aspect ration, which is a format I’ve been experimenting with a bit lately. [...]
First Frost
NEPA got hit with its first hard frost last Friday night. We knew it was coming; there were warnings on the radio and a general sense that yes, it was time. Mid-October rarely passes without the first hard chill of the season. But for all the concern over the first frost, it is a strangely ethereal event. [...]
Fords Pond Sunrise
Last weekend, I’m in day three of an annual, seasonal allergy attack and pretty much hiding inside with the windows sealed and the HEPA filters running at full-tilt. And still suffering from the clouds of whatever-the-hell-weed pollen that blanketed the valley. On top of that, I’d spent the previous week tied up with work, the [...]
Foggy morning at Fords – Brent’s perspective
Paul and I got together for some photos up at Fords Pond one morning last week – nothing serious, just ambled around the side of the pond, shooting some landscapes and even a few wildlife shots of a Mute Swan that put in an appearance. I didn’t think much of the shots after I finished [...]
Foggy Morning at Fords – Paul’s Perspective
As Brent noted in his post on this subject, we spent some time at Fords Pond one morning last week while the lake mist was still lifting. If you look at the images in the two posts, I believe you’ll find a noticeable difference in overall tone and mood. This is the first of three [...]
Places we keep returning to
In the time I’ve lived in Pennsylvania, it feels like I’ve photographed Bullhead Bay at Lackawanna State Park at least 500 times. Not that I’m tired of being there; quite the contrary, it’s one of the first places I think about stopping when I plan a morning outing. It’s a place I keep returning to. [...]
A Little Mood Music
I always think that early mornings are best for “mood” shots. Here are a few efforts captured recently at the Abington Regional Park in Northeastern Pennsylvania. I had been up prior to sunset to catch the reappearance of the planet Jupiter in the morning sky at a vantage point further down the road from here, [...]
Morning Panoramas
Got out last weekend before the cloudy weather moved in and ambled around Lackawanna State Park for a while. Sometimes I go out with a particular goal in mind, while other times I just enjoy being out with the camera in the morning. This was one of the later. The more panos I capture, the [...]
