September 4, 2014 - Photo Of The Day

The end of Summer is approaching quickly and I must say it makes me a little sad. I think it is the fact that it went way too fast. I do enjoy Autumn and the holiday seasons it brings but it is also a cruel reminder that Winter is about to show it's ugly face. After last Winter I am not ready for any more cold weather.

My favorite time of the year is Spring. The arrival of Spring means warm weather and trips to the beach. To me it is also my prime time for photography. Spring is also a great time to go camping because it is warm but not too hot. That is just what Kim and I did earlier this year.

On our last few camping trips I have picked up a habit of bringing home a rock that is local to wherever we are. I know, it's strange, but it's just something I do. And that brings me to my Photo Of The Day.

This particular rock is actually not from our last trip. It is from a trip a couple of years ago to The Ponderosa Campground in Cape May Courthouse, New Jersey. As you can see I shot this in black and white. I think it shows off the reflections and shadows very nicely. What do you think?

Thanks for stopping by. If you like what you see please feel free to share with your friends. You can also leave a comment if you like. On that note, I have been told that the comments section is not working for everyone. I am looking into this and I hope I can figure it out soon.

Until next time...

August 26, 2014 - Photo Of The Day

Welcome to day 8 of my "Photo Of The Day" blog posts. I have been having a lot of fun and I hope you are enjoying my little project. Please be sure to check in every day because there is a lot more to come.

Today I would like to share another photo from Valley Forge. This time it is a black and white panorama composed of three of the shots I made while photographing my favorite tree. Please have a look.

Most of my landscape work is of course in color. I must say though that I quite enjoy working in black and white too. To me there is something less intrusive about it. I can enjoy the subject without the "reality" of color. Does that make sense?

On a completely different note I would like you let you know that I am slowly tweaking the layout of my blog. One thing I have added in the sidebar is a list of websites that I enjoy and I think you may too. They are mostly photography related. If you enjoy any of them be sure to check back because I will be adding a lot more. Also if you have any ideas that you think I may like feel free to let me know. You can share them in the comments section or in the soon to come "contact me" section.

Well that's about all for today. I know I say it a lot but I really do appreciate you taking a few minutes out of your day to visit me.

Until next time...
