Welcome To The Wednesday View

Today's photo is a snapshot. But it's a snapshot that continues my series of shots from our Schuylkill River Trail walk on Saturday. This is a view inside of a tree. As we walked along we saw this tree that had a big opening on it's side. So at risk of getting bitten by something that may live in it I stuck my phone in and shot this.

Welcome To The Tuesday View

For today's photo I would like to share another scene from along the Schuylkill River that I shot on Saturday. This one is in full color and shows off the turning of the leaves quite nicely. As we walked along the trail I saw this and marveled at how the bright sun shined through and was muted ever so slightly as it was absorbed by the trees. I knew right away that I had to share it with you. I hope you enjoy my reproduction of the moment as much as I enjoyed the original.

Welcome To The Daily View

Today I would like to share a snapshot I made while driving home from work. I have a longer commute now and at least some of it is scenic.

There's not a lot of technical info since I shot this in auto with my phone's camera. I also did no adjustments so this is the "Before" and "After" photo.

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 - December 13, 2015

Hi and welcome to the Daily View!

It would be an understatement if I said "Wow! what great weather we had this weekend!". As I type this it is 63°. On December 13 in the Northeast. This is a welcome but unusual occurrence. Naturally Kim and I wanted to enjoy the outdoors a little so we headed to a local place that we visited several years ago and kind of forgot about. Schuylkill Canal Lock 60. The only remaining lock on the Schuylkill River. It's kind of a well known but at the same time forgotten part of the local park system. You can check it out at this link if you like. As we walked long the river I shot several frames and would like to share this one with you today.

A bit overcast but oh so warm!

I have a lot more to share but for now I must go. I'll be back real soon though and hope you will be too!

Until next time...

Hi and welcome to the Friday edition of the Daily View!

In wrapping up last weeks adventures I would like to share one more shot from the Schuylkill River Trail in Valley Forge. This is one of the pedestrian bridges as seen from the river.

Thanks for stopping by!

Until next time...

December 3, 2014 - Photo Of The Day

Hi all. So going through the shots I made the other day in New Hope I decided that there is at least one more I'd like to share. There is a lot of beautiful scenery in New Hope and the waterfront is no exception. So that is what I have for you today. Please take a look.

This is composed of two images that I merged in Photoshop. It was quite cloudy that day and I would like to re-shoot this with a little sunshine. Perhaps at least a little blue sky. I should really use a tripod too. But I think it came out okay. What do you think?

And that's all for now. Thanks for stopping by and please check back soon.

Until next time...

October 25, 2014 - Photo Of The Day

Today was a somewhat productive day. I finally made it over to our local library and did a little research that I have been wanting to do. I learned a little more about the subject of a future blog post. Hopefully I'll get it posted sooner than later.

In addition to the library trip we ran our regular errands but also managed to make it over to the Betzwood Picnic Area. Part of Valley Forge National Park. It was such a beautiful day and who knows how many of those we have left this season so I wanted to spend at least a little time outdoors. Of course I had my camera with me. so for today's photo I would like to share this with you.

  

This is looking over the Schuylkill River toward the main part of Valley Forge Park and was created from three separate images and combined using Photomatix HDR software and then adjusted using Photoshop. If you would like to see the original images I will be posting them at the Facebook Group here. If they aren't there when you check please try again in a bit.

That's all for now folks. Be sure to check back soon.

Until next time...
