This weeks view was going to be this mornings sunrise but as you will see it was pretty cloudy. The sky was beautiful but the sun was mostly hidden. I did sort of capture it in the last photo in this post but that was the best I could do. But I did get a lot of great shots of the geese that live at the park so the trip was worth it. I have included a cool video of them too.
Until next time...
Hi there my friends. This weekend I would like to share yet another sunrise. Well, a sunrise and a few other early morning shots. These like my recent sunrises was shot at the Norristown Farm Park just up the street from me. I would like to say that it was rather cold at around 37° F (3° C). But it was worth it just to see the beautiful morning sky. Can you spot the goose in the first two shots?
Also, here is a quick video I shot of some geese over the park. If you can it's best viewed in 4K.
Until next time...
I am back again after taking last weekend off. For today's view I would like to share this mornings sunrise.
Until next time...
Yesterday was such a nice day that I decided to take a drive over to the John James Audubon Center at Mill Grove to have a walk around. And today I would like to share a handful of shots that I got, plus a couple videos. There's still more to go over but for now here is what I have. The squirrel in the first few photos was very friendly. He actually ran up to me and seemed to pose for the camera.
Until next time...
Today's post is just a few quick shots of the sunrise over the Norristown Farm Park this morning. It was chilly and very clear and the sun was absolutely beautiful.
Until next time...
Hi there my friends, long time no see. It's been almost a month since my last post. After more than 3,000 total posts over the years continuing on a daily basis is getting just a bit too much. As much as I'd love to continue this I just can't right now. But I am going to keep going. Just weekly. There may be the occasional quick shot or two in between though too. So let's get started for today.
I was up nice and early today and for a change over the last few weekends the skies were clear enough to grab some sunrise pictures. So I headed to the park and set up to see what I could get. And I was not disappointed. Here is a handful of what I got to see in person. Also, I used a recently purchased circular polarizing filter that let me tame the sun's brightness and not darken the entire scene. I think you'll see a difference from a lot of my previous work.
Until next time...
So I set out early today to grab this morning's sunrise. I got to the park around 5:30 am and was all set. The forecast was for mostly sunny skies, with the keyword being mostly. There was exactly one heavy patch of clouds and of course it was right in front of the sun. But not ready to give up I headed to another part of the park where I could wait it out so to speak and perhaps see the sun rise above the clouds. I knew it would be a lot brighter than I usually shoot but I came prepared. I was using a new variable neutral density filter that tames the light and also has the added benefit of protecting my eye when I look through the viewfinder. Well the sun finally did show itself and it was very much worth the wait. For today's view I would like to share a few of my shots with you.
Until next time...
As you may know I like to photograph the sun. And for years I have been doing it without any kind of filter. This is of course dangerous if you aren't careful. Well about a month ago I purchased a Neutral Density filter that lets me look straight at the sun and capture good photos. The only problem is that everything around it too dark to capture. So now I purchased a variable Neutral Density filter that allows me to let more light in while still being able to aim at the sun. I did a few quick shots at the park yesterday to test it out and now for today's view would like to share a couple with you.
Until next time...
Welcome To The Exploration Photography Daily View
Happy Easter my friends!
When I woke up this morning one of the first things I did as I often do on the weekend is check the weather. More specifically I checked for rain or clouds. I knew it wasn't supposed to rain but you never know if it's going to be cloudy. Well upon looking outside I saw the moon was bright and clear in the sky so I figured I'd try for some sunrise photos. I grabbed my camera and got in my car and as I was driving the quarter mile to the park I remembered it was closed on many holidays. Fortunately though today wasn't one of them and I was able to park in my usual place and set up to shoot. I think I got some pretty good shots. In fact I had a bit of a time choosing what to share. But after looking them over I decided on these three for today's view.
And as you probably figured out already I did not make a second post yesterday with a video. After all I did say I "might". But I did do a little video this morning at one of the feeders and would like to share it with you. This was shot with my Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra. Be sure to view it in 1080P and turn the volume up. The birds were very vocal.
That's all for today. Thanks for stopping by!
Until next time...
