Continuing with yesterday's theme I would like to share another photo from Valley Forge. This was shot with my camera phone while it was mounted on the dashboard of our car. I was recording a video at the time and I will be sharing it soon but for now here is one of the still frames.
And though this video is not ready yet I do have another one to share with you right now. A time lapse video. But wait! There's more! I am sharing it at four different speeds. Yep, go ahead and choose one. or choose them all. It's up to you. Just click on the links below.
Like the Headline says this is my 100th post. I can hardly believe it. When I started out I figured I would do a post or so a week and that is what I did. But I wanted more. I wanted to share more. So I started posting a photo of the day. I must admit that some days it is tough. I guess it's sort of like writer's block except with photographs. It's hard to keep things fresh sometimes. But I do my best and I think I do okay. So for today's photo I thought there would be no place more fitting to shoot than Valley Forge. One of my favorite photographic destinations. I was up nice and early so I had plenty of time to drive over there and set up my tripods and get the cameras ready. Everything was in place for a sunrise shot except for one thing. The sun. It was pretty cloudy out there. But the scenery and the colors were nice and I think I came away with some good stuff. So to start off here is today's photo.
This was created using three images shot at three different exposures. And of course while at the park I indulged in one of my newest obsessions. A time lapse of the "sunrise". Like I said there wasn't much sun but the sky and clouds are nice.
And to wrap it up for the day I am also sharing a "regular" video that I shot. It is about six minutes long and is an example of the peacefulness of Valley Forge and why I love early mornings there. It is best viewed in 1080P HD and full screen.
Thanks for stopping by and reading my 100th post. I hope to bring you many more. And on that subject I would like to ask that if you enjoy what you see here to please share it with your friends and family. And always feel free to contact me with any questions or comments. I would love to hear from you.
It's "Retro" Friday again and today I am sharing another photo from the wonderful San Diego Zoo in California. Like last Friday it is another Koala but this time a couple years earlier. Today we travel back to March 3, 2003. The weather here at home was cold. Very cold. But San Diego was sunny and in the 70's. A perfect zoo day. Here is today's photo.
This was shot with my Fuji S602Z digital camera and post processed in Photoshop.
I would also like to share yet another sunrise time lapse. I think this is the best one yet.
On Sunday morning the clocks here in the U.S. went back one hour and we are now on Standard Time. that means the Sun is rising earlier but it also means that it sets earlier too. And it doesn't help that the days are getting shorter as we approach Winter. Just last week it was nice and sunny and bright on my 4:30 PM drive home from work. Now it's getting dark. On my way home today there were no cars behind me so I was able to stop quickly and snap a picture with my camera phone. It is the setting sun and was shot from a bridge that crosses over the Pennsylvania Turnpike.
Not the best view but it was the only one I had.
Now I have a question for you. How did yesterday's photo look to you? I mean in general. It looks good to me on my home computer but when I viewed it at work there was a color ring around the moon. It also seemed to be brighter than it should. For comparison here is a link to the same photo. And once again I am sharing a time lapse of this morning's sunrise. One of these days it will be nice and clear and we will get a good one. I am trying to record it daily for a bit so I can try out some different settings in Lapse It Pro.
That about does it for today. Thanks as always for visiting and please come back soon. I have lots to share. And since I haven't mentioned it for a while please check out the blog's Facebook Group here. Feel free to comment and share. I want this to become an interactive medium.
