Exploration Photography Daily View - September 2, 2016

Hi and welcome to the Daily View!

I am having a super busy day my friends so let me get right into it. But believe me when I tell you that all of my rushing around will pay off in the end. And be sure to watch this spot.

For today's photo I would like to share this view from our trip to Black Rock Sanctuary last Saturday.

Exploration Photography Daily View - August 30, 2016

Hi and welcome to the Daily View!

Getting back to our trip to Black Rock Sanctuary on Saturday I would like to share a photo from along the waterfront. It was a very bright day and I had a bit of a time taming the bright sky but I think it looks pretty good. I really should have used a lower ISO but it is what it is. But just so you know, the sky was actually a lot bluer than it is here.

I created this scene with seven separate photos merged in Photoshop. And if it looks quiet and serene it's because it was. I love shooting at Black Rock.

Exploration Photography Daily View - August 27, 2016

Hi and welcome to the Daily View!

What does one do on a hot and very humid day? Head right out into it and bring his camera along, that's what! Kim and I took a drive to Black Rock Sanctuary this afternoon for a stroll through it's footpaths and to get a little closer to some of our local nature. And of course I captured a lot of good stuff with my camera. Or should I say cameras.

Last weekend I picked up yet another film camera. But this one is special. It's one that I have wanted for many years. Though it is not an uncommon model it somehow eluded me. But last Saturday I just happened to be in the right place at the right time. The camera is a Canon AE-1. And it is super clean and as far as I can tell fully functioning. I won't know for sure until I get the first roll of film developed but I have high hopes.

Okay, this isn't my best picture but it's the only good one I have of my newest find. The cool thing about it is it consists of three generations of camera. The Canon AE-1 35mm film camera in my hand, My Canon DSLR around my neck and the camera I shot this with in my other hand. My Samsung Galaxy S6 camera phone.

So since I haven't developed my first roll of film yet I am sharing a photo from my DSLR. I sot this along a river bank at Black Rock.

One of many dragonflies I saw today. I guess if there is something special about this particular one is that I nearly got stuck in some rather nasty mud while shooting this. And while I didn't get stuck It was sure a mess.
