Welcome To The Wednesday View

Still chugging along with pics from our Sunday in the park I would like to share this view of a set of railroad tracks we came across. I don't know how often trains run along here but from the shine on the tracks I imagine they are at least somewhat frequent.

This is another shot that needs to be presented in black and white. I think it's the industrial look that makes me see it that way.

Welcome To The Monday View

Today as I continue to share photos from our "walk in the park" yesterday I am shifting away from Autumn colors. In fact I am shifting away from color altogether. When I saw this I knew right away that it had to be presented in black and white. It actually took me a while to get it where I thought it was right. I tried to bring out as much detail as I could and at the same time not wash anything away.

Obviously no longer in use as evidenced by the hanging insulators and the fact there is indeed no wires to be found. I'm not sure if this pole carried telephone or power lines. Perhaps both? I am pretty certain though that it was used by the Norristown State Hospital. Just about all of the land that the park occupies was part of the hospital grounds at one time.

Welcome To The Daily View

While out and about today running a couple of quick errands I decide to take a little time to walk around the Norristown Farm Park. So braving the cold winds I parked my car, grabbed one of my cameras and off I went. And it sure was windy! But I did shoot a little. And for today's photo I would like to share this black and white with you.

Not too bad I guess. Being this trip was an afterthought I did not have my 80D with me. I did however have my walk around camera . My Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS50. While the Panasonic certainly does not produce the quality of an SLR it does meet my minimal standards for a dedicated camera ( a camera that is no also a phone). It has a viewfinder and it shoots in RAW.

As for today's subject, well it's a grain dryer. Now I am far from being a farmer but if I had to guess I would say this antique contraption was once used to dry grain. Pretty smart huh?

Post processing was done in Photoshop with the help of Google's NIK Collection of filters.

Technical Info

- Built in Lens at 4.30mm

Yesterday I shared a "Cafe" video with you. Today I would like to share Part 2 of that video.

I know I always say this but this is best viewed at Full Screen in 1080p.
