Today I would like to share some more photos from yesterday morning at the park. These are from before sunrise and as you can see it was a little foggy.
Until next time...

Thursday View - 27 June 2024 Edition
Today's view is this beautiful sunflower that planted itself from the overflow seeds at one of the feeders. As you can see it has already been picked at by some birds. There's more coming up though. It's funny because as many times as I have planted sunflowers I have never had much luck with them. But the ones that come up wild do well.
Until next time...

Welcome To The Exploration Photography Daily View
Cold with a slight breeze. Two things that can make you not want to spend a lot of time in the garden. But by this afternoon I had to at least get out and check on the new greenhouse and make sure everything was doing well. And it is I'm happy to say. I also spent a little time with the camera. mostly trying to get some action shots of Schnitzel running. I got a few but he really didn't cooperate. I guess he was too busy investigating some birds and general goings on in his yard. I did get some good shots of some dogwood buds though. Both dogwoods in the front and back yards are blooming nicely and should fill out quite well soon. And for today's view I am sharing this cool picture I grabbed. And funnily enough I didn't see that strand of spider web until I looked over what I shot.
That's all for today. Thanks for stopping by!

Welcome To The Exploration Photography Daily View
Today I would like to share the point of view of another one of our flowers. This time it's our amaryllis. The view is a lot nicer than yesterday since the sun came out.
And I also have a few videos to share. I was playing around with the time lapse feature on my camera and thought the cafe would be a good place to test it.
That's all for today. Thanks for stopping by!

Welcome To The Exploration Photography Daily View
Although Kim and I haven't headed to the shore yet I am posting a mobile update. This is yet another shot of our very popular onion grass. I'm not sure if I shared one with this moth or butterfly or whatever it is before but here you go.

Welcome To The Exploration Photography Daily View
To wrap up the work week I am sharing our amaryllis at full bloom. It's about a foot and a half high or so and has four big flowers. I hope the flowers last for a while because once they go it will probably be about a year until we see them again. But it will be worth the wait. This plant never ceases to amaze me. I bought the bulb kit four or five years ago and didn't plant it until about a year later. I never expected it to grow. But I am thankful it did.
Here is the EXIF data.

Welcome To The Monday View
A few days ago I played around with low/no light photography. I guess very, very, very low but a tiny bit of light is more accurate but you know what I mean. Tonight I gave it another try. This time though instead of our Adirondack chairs by the fire pit I headed in another direction. I brought our indoor daisy outside and did a closeup. And this time I did a little more post processing than the last time. I kind if treated it like any other shot. And the results aren't too bad. There wasn't really any wind except for the lightest of breezes. I don't think it affected the daisy too much. Maybe a little. So here it is. Straight from the darkness of night and right to your screen.
Just a tiny bit of blur at the center but better than I thought it would be. This is a 44 second exposure. Nothing near as long as the night shot a few days ago but I was only trying to capture the flower. If I had kept the shutter open for 8 or 9 minutes it would look like pure daylight.
Here is the EXIF data.

Welcome To The Wednesday View
Although Winter is upon us and we have had some very frigid days and there is really not much growing outside, our indoor plants seem to be doing just fine. A perfect example is our daisy. We have had this daisy for over a year now. Probably close to two years. In fact it came from our old house. It has always done well but here in our new house it has really thrived. Every time it's flower fades away a new one appears.
This afternoon I set up to shoot a few frames of the daisy. I actually tried a handheld shot at first but since I wasn't using a flash or bright lights it didn't work out very well. So I set up on a tripod. And seeing as my camera was nice and steady I turned the lights down and using a low ISO did some long exposures. looking over what I captured I was very pleased. I think the detail shined through nicely. So for today's photo I an sharing two shots. One wide and one zoomed in close. What do you think?

Hi and welcome to the Daily View!
Today I would like to share a photo that I have been wanting to show you for quite a while now. A little over a month actually. Who goes to the zoo and shoots flowers? Me of course!
One of my favorite flowers at one of my favorite places. A Daisy at the Cape May County Zoo.

Hi There folks! Are you ready for today's Daily View? Well here you go.
This is the Orchid My sister Elaine gave us at Thanksgiving. It is our first Orchid and it seems to be doing pretty well. Plenty of buds.
In addition to the Daily View I have a video for you. I recorded this at the "cafe" this afternoon. I was trying something a little different and I think it worked out. Check it out at the link below. We had lot's of patrons today.

March 11, 2015 - Photo Of The Day
Well we are just 8 days away from Spring and it is really beginning to feel like it. Today's temperature made it into the 60's for the first time in months and most of the snow is melted. You would hardly even know that just last week we had 10 inches on the ground. And on top of that I saw a robin this morning while driving to work. That's always a good sign. And speaking of birds I got some nice shots of the one's that I feed in our yard year round. I would like to share one with you today.
This is just a handful. We get a lot of birds. I guess it's all of the food I put out for them.
And here is today's "Amaryllis Watch" photo. It sure is getting tall.
And that's it for now. But I'll be back real soon. Come back and join me and above all get out there and enjoy this great weather.

February 15, 2015 - Photo of The Day
Well I guess we are officially once again in Winter's grip. It is COLD! But hey, at least we finally made it into double digit temperatures. It's a balmy 14° out there right now.
I had intentions to go out today to shoot. I had some reservations too. The reservations won. So for today's photo of the day I revisited the orchid that my sister Elaine gave us for Christmas. We received it at Thanksgiving and it still has flowers. In fact there are buds on it too so I guess we're doing something right. Here is what I shot.
Now believe it or not this photo is a little out of my comfort zone. I approached it differently than I normally would. Let me explain a little. As I have said before I always shoot in RAW format. Like many people I used to always shoot JPEGs. They looked decent and I could fit a boatload of them on a memory card. They also saved faster so I could shoot more in a shorter period of time. Then I upgraded to a DSLR and had the ability to shoot and save in both RAW and JPEG. That way I had the RAW image to give me more editing options in Photoshop and I also had the safety net of a near "perfect" JPEG. You know, just in case I couldn't get the results I was looking for in the editing process. Then finally as I practiced and learned more (I'm always learning and always will be) I gained the confidence to shoot solely in RAW and I have not nor do I plan to go back. When you shoot a photo the camera sees much more than you realize and RAW saves it all. But before I get too far away from today's photo you can check out this link and this link to learn more about the two different formats. And also let me say that there is absolutely nothing wrong with shooting in JPEG. It is all a matter of preference and how much post processing you want to do.
When I shoot I generally tend to underexpose the image and bring it to the levels I want in Photoshop. It is the safer way to work as a rule. Today however I took the other route. I overexpose just a little and toned the levels down instead of up. I did this really just to experiment. To change things up a little. I kind of like the results. What do you think?
Here are a few background details about today's shoot. The orchid is on our kitchen window sill. The white you see is caused by the snow that is on my car in the driveway. between that snow is of course a window and also a screen. Because of the way I set up the exposure all you see besides the orchid is a plain white background. And for those interested here is the technical data from the image's EXIF file.

January 22, 2015 - Photo Of The Day
Yesterday I showed you our rhododendron with a nice dusting of snow. And that is about all we got. Slightly more than a dusting. It was pretty while it lasted but today's the temperatures got up to just over 40° and there is practically no sign it ever even happened. So I thought it would be a nice contrast to share a couple photos of the rhododendron without the snow. I was also going for some closeups and think these turned out nice considering I was hand holding the camera.
Thanks for visiting and please be sure to stop back soon.

It's gonna snow they said. 1-4 inches they said. They lied! And I am not complaining one bit. We got just enough to look pretty without the need to do any serious shoveling. How about you? Did you get any snow? If so how much?
So when I got home from work I grabbed my camera to shoot some photos of our rhododendron which was lightly dusted. And for today's photo(s) I would like to share these with you.
As always I thank you for stopping by. Please be sure to come back soon. You never know what you might see :)

December 20, 2014 - Photo of The Day
Just five days until Christmas. Can you believe it? I have said it before but where does the time go? I am not ready. Close but not quite there yet. And in all of the hustle and bustle I really didn't get to go out and shoot today as I had wanted to. So for today's photo I will share one more from Longwood last weekend. But it is not really Christmas related. You know I can't visit there and not take some shots of the flowers. So here is one of their beautiful Orchids.
I hope to get caught up and have time to shoot some new stuff for you. I'll try my best!

December 4, 2014 - Photo Of The day
A while ago I had mentioned to my sister Elaine that I really like Orchids but have never had one. You see we have pets and I am cautious about houseplants and flowers that they may be able to get to. Well recently I found out that they are pet safe and Elaine was kind enough to gift us an Orchid when we were at her house for Thanksgiving. Thanks Elaine! So for today's photo of the day I present to you two shots of this beautiful flower.
These shots were done within a couple minutes of each other. And the sun was very bright. I don't usually shoot into the sun but I think it worked out pretty good. For the second shot I simply zoomed in and used a small aperture. Plus I lowered the exposure value. I also used a tripod for maximum sharpness.
On another note, I usually save websites that I think are of interest for the Facebook Group. Today however I would like to share one with you here on the blog. This is a website called Philadelphia Hybrid Photography and I think it is really cool.
And that about does it for today folks. I am glad you stopped by and hope you return soon to see else I have to share with you. It certainly is my pleasure.

Happy Thanksgiving! This one is getting to you a little late in the day but I didn't get home until late. I spent the day with family and friends at my Sister's house and had a wonderful dinner with lot's of good conversation and good times. Thank You so much Elaine!
For today's photo I would like to share this with you.
This is an orchid in Elaine's kitchen. I have always loved Orchids and this is a very pretty one.
And one more thing before I wrap this up for tonight. This is a time lapse video of our trip from home to north Jersey. A two hour trip condensed down to just over one minute.
And that's it for now. Thanks for stopping by and I hope everyone had a great holiday.

November 18, 2014 - Photo Of The Day
Wow! What a cold day we had today. And the wind just made it worse. I guess Old Man Winter is really here. So to remind you of warmer weather I am sharing one more photo from our trip to Longwood Gardens on Saturday. I love that I can go there any time of the year and enjoy fresh vibrant flowers.
I shared this on Sunday along with several other pictures but that was in color.
Flowers just like landscapes are not always good in black and white but I love the way this one came out. The variation of colors converted nicely. And to compare here is the color version from Sunday.
Thanks for visiting.

Flowers just like landscapes are not always good in black and white but I love the way this one came out. The variation of colors converted nicely. And to compare here is the color version from Sunday.
Thanks for visiting.
Until next time...

November 17, 2014 - Photo Of The Day
As we go about our days there are many things that make up the scenery around us. Some things stand out and some things are "just there". But just because they are "just there" doesn't make them uninteresting or less important. Look at any landscape photograph and you will notice the sky and clouds, the sun and trees or perhaps a building in the background. But do you notice the grass? Maybe you do or maybe you don't but I bet the photo would look strange without it.
When I was photographing at Longwood on Saturday I made a point to focus on individual things, mostly flowers, instead of wide open scenes. And I saw this.
This ground cover is used as a complement for many of the flowers. After all the flowers would look strange just sticking out of the ground alone. Yet we don't give it much thought and just think to ourselves "what pretty flowers". But look at the beautiful detail. The lines and the color.
What else do we see but not notice?
