Welcome To The Exploration Photography Daily View

Before I get to today's photo I would like to go on record and say that I never again go on record about this years snowfall. Yesterday I said the snow was done for the season and what does it do today? It snowed. Admittedly it wasn't much to speak of but just the fact that mother nature felt it necessary to throw one more in there is adding insult to injury. Come on Spring where are you?

Now, for today's photo I am sharing another view from our brief visit to "the other side" of Valley Forge yesterday. It's another shot of the dilapidated greenhouse only from a wider angle. I almost decided to do this one in color but just couldn't. Color would have cluttered it and taken away from it in a way. I think the black and white let's you concentrate on the subject without distraction. What do you think?

Welcome to The Exploration Photography Daily View

I am going on record and saying that we are done with snow for the season. I mean we have to be right? It's almost April after all. Today's weather was rather nice. It made it into the low 50's and the sun was shining. Most of the snow from last week's storm is gone and the ground is even drying up. Before you know it we will be complaining about the heat.

Today I was able to work in a short trip to Valley Forge and shoot some frames. But this time I went to what I call the "other side" of the park. I have shared photos from there before but not a lot. And though I have previously shared other versions of today's view I think this one is better than all of them.

I always shoot this in black and white and can't really "see" it any other way. Maybe I will do a color version some day but I don't think so.

Welcome To The Wednesday View

Today after a string of many, many busy days and house/yard work and other commitments I was finally able to take a couple of hours and spend them shooting. I haven't gone through all of my days work yet but I think there is some pretty good stuff. All of it from Valley Forge National Park. There are some familiar sites that I shoot time and again and there is a bunch of new stuff too. And then there is some stuff that I have shot and shared in the past but perhaps a bit different and dare I say better this time around. That's what today's shot is. I made a similar photo probably two or three years ago. I'm not exactly sure but when I get a chance I'll skim through my posts and find the original. But for now please take a look at this and let me know what you think, if you are so inclined.

This old greenhouse is on the edge of the park. For some reason I don't visit this area as much. Which is a shame because there is so much to see there. And you will see some of it over the next couple of days.

It was a good shoot today. I felt "on" if you know what I mean. And I shot this knowing it had to be shared in black and white. If you want to see it in color though check out the "Before" image below.
