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 [...]
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, [...]
Simple Clicks – a backlog
Over the past two weeks I’ve shot a bunch of fairly random images that are good enough that I want to share them, but which don’t fit into any other post I’ve done. It’s a backlog, and I aim to clear it up. So without further rambling, here’s a random collection of images for your [...]
Simple Clicks – Sunrise
A different take on the sunrise photos, with the color balance adjusted towards the warm end of the spectrum. I like the effect, although it isn’t exactly true to the actual look of the scene.

Wildwood – At the beach
Just back from a weekend trip to (drumroll, please…) – New Jersey! And yes, it was definitely better than it sounds so far. Mandy and I took a few days away from everything and drove down to Wildwood, where we stayed in an Airstream trailer, spent some time on the beach, and played tourist. The [...]
Simple Clicks – A Cold Morning Panorama
This was my first goal on reaching the lake Sunday morning – shooting a panorama. I’ve shot several at this same location; it’s a very photogenic spot and it’s physical layout lends itself well to panoramas. Especially so at this time of year, when the sun rises almost directly behind the center of the hill. [...]
A Cold Morning
Winter continues here in NEPA with several inches of snow falling over the weekend. It wasn’t the quantity that the weather channel girl had called for, but it was still enough to put a blanket over the landscape, so Sunday morning I pulled myself out of bed before sunrise and headed out to the lake. [...]
Winter in PA – Another Perspective
Now that winter weather has indeed finally arrived, as Brent so aptly noted, it brought with it some great photo opportunities this past week. Here’s my perspective on the photo trip Brent and I took earlier this week. First of all, sunrise. The winter sun may rise later than in summer, but I’m thinking I’ll [...]
