Sunday View - 10 November 2024 Edition

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...

Sunday View - 3 November 2024 Edition

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...

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.

Saturday View - 5 October 2024 Edition

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...

Sunday View - 9 April 2023 Edition

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...

Welcome To The Exploration Photography Daily View

Well it's been quite a while but this morning was the morning. I got myself up early dressed and grabbed my camera then drove all the way down the street to the park, a whopping 1 1/2 to 2 minutes driveway to parking lot, to shoot the sunrise. When I got there however I wasn't very optimistic because it was very cloudy. But I figured I'd wait it out and even if I didn't get the sun I would be able to get some nice scenery. So I did get a lot of scenery but also much to my delight the sun showed up as well. There was a break in the clouds just above the horizon and it gave me about 5 minutes or so to get some good shots. And for today's view I would like to share this one with you.



That's all for today. Thanks for stopping by!

Throwback Thursday View - 8 November 2018 Edition

Welcome To The Exploration Photography Daily View

Today's throwback takes us to November 9, 2014 at Valley Forge National Park. It also takes us back to my 100th post. That sure was a milestone for me. I never imagined I would make it that far sharing my photos (some of them rather artistic and a lot of them more like snapshots) and my little ramblings. But as I type this today I am about to publish my 1,568th post. Wow! And I hope to publish at least another 1,568. Many days it is quite easy but others not so much. But hey, I do what I can. As for today's photo I shot it a little after sunrise at my favorite spot in the park. For sunrises that is. I hope you enjoy this encore and remember to Click Here to see my original post.

Welcome To The Exploration Photography Daily View

Today's throwback is from August 16, 2015 and it's subject is among my very favorites. Sunrise at the beach. Although I am at the shore just about every weekend I have yet to get out and shoot the sun this Summer. Maybe I'll do something about that this week. We'll see. For now though enjoy this photo.

Welcome To The Exploration Photography Daily View

This is a late post and in being so is going to be a quick post. In fact for today's view I am sharing a snapshot that I made this morning on my way to work. It's a familiar scene but like most situations no two pictures are the same. This is the sun coming up over the park near our house.

Welcome To The Exploration Photography Daily View

Today's throwback takes us back to March 29, 2015 in Ocean City Maryland. The subject is by far my favorite though I haven't shot it in a while. But I think today's post may inspire me to get out there early one morning to greet everyone's favorite star. Our Sun.

Welcome To The Tuesday View

Today I share with you another view of Sunday's sunrise. This time the Sun has risen higher over the horizon. I am so happy I was able to catch it in the form of an orange ball. And check out the geese flying across the sky. I really like this scene.
