Welcome To The Exploration Photography Daily View

A few months back around the middle of Winter I picked up a Sony digital camera at a thrift store for a really good price. It is used for sure but in overall excellent condition. And everything is there, even the box and instructions. I haven't used it much yet but I am starting to take it along with me when we go out. I had it with me at the camper last weekend and on Saturday night I shot a few pictures of the flame atop one of our torches. So for today's view I am sharing this simple flame.

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

Until next time...

Welcome To The Exploration Photography Daily View

Today I am continuing to clear out the photos on my phone with another snapshot+. Basically a snapshot that has been lightly processed before posting. Like yesterday's photo I shot this on Sunday morning right before we left for home. This mushroom was (and still is) growing inside of our screen house. I hope it's still there this weekend because I would like to get shots of it with my DSLR. For now though I think this came out pretty good.

Today I am sharing another snapshot+ from our weekend at the campground at the shore. Actually I shot this as we were leaving for home on Sunday afternoon. I guess if nothing else the rain we had made for a good photo.

Welcome To The Exploration Photography Daily View

We have gotten a lot of rain lately. Both here at home and at the shore. But there have been some moments in-between that have been at least a little dry and Saturday was one of them. We were able to enjoy the beach and were even able to relax by a campfire in the evening. And with the weather growing colder that is a good thing. Today's view is one of the many shots I made of Saturday's campfire. I love shooting them because no two will ever be the same. It is complete randomness. Enjoy.

Well I'm still a little under the weather today so another mobile update it is. That's okay though because I have a lot on my phone to share with you. The other day I posted a peacock sitting on a fence. Today I present his friend who decided to aim a little higher.

It seems that wherever I go squirrels seem to find me. Or maybe I find them? Either way that is what happened during yesterday's rainy day visit to the zoo. This guy was pretty friendly and was happy to take a couple acorns we found nearby.

Hi friends. In place of my usual throwback photo this week I am sharing a mobile update from our campsite. Kim and I took Friday off to enjoy a long weekend at the shore. We figured most of the holiday weekend traffic would take place on Friday and Monday so we are traveling on Thursday and Sunday. We'll see how that works out I guess. So for today's view I am sharing another shot of Schnitzel. 

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

Welcome To The Exploration Photography Daily View

When I upgraded my camera a little over a year ago I also purchased a small compact camera, a Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS50 that I figured I'd keep with me just in case I needed to grab a quick shot and didn't have my big camera handy. But as it turns out in our move last year I lost the charging cord and haven't been able to use it. I think it maybe has 50 or so shots on the clock. But last week I bought a charger on Amazon and am able to use it once again. So this past weekend I took it with me when we drove to our camper at the shore. I didn't shoot a lot but I did take it for a spin. And my results are mixed. I am not used to it so I am still learning some of the settings, which are a lot different and a lot more limited than my Canon DSLR. But that is to be expected at about 1/10 of the cost. For today's view I am sharing a photo of our campfire on Friday night.

For today's weekend mobile Update I am sharing another shot I made while we were out and about driving. We see a lot of geese around here especially in front of the Cape May County Zoo on route 9. This group (or flock I suppose) had at least a couple dozen members.

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

For today's Summertime Weekend Edition I am sharing tonight's campfire. We were debating on whether or not to have one due to the heat and high humidity but went ahead anyway. I guess it just wouldn't be the same without one.

I often say that small things make the biggest subject. And yesterday while I was concentrating on a "small thing" I saw something smaller. Well sort of. The spider in this photo is quite small but I have to say that it's web was pretty big. And after I shot a few frames I did my best not to disturb it. After all this spider was just doing it's job.

Welcome To The Exploration Photography Daily View

Today's post is another quick one. We have been so busy recently and things around the house just needed to be done. So today's photo is a snapshot from Sunday afternoon at our campsite in Cape May Courthouse in New Jersey.

Kim and i have worked hard to set up camp for the Summer and I think it's coming along well. I shot this right after we had stone poured. 5 tons of stone. 5 tons of stone that we had to shovel and rake. But now we won't have a swamp every time it rains. And best of all we are close to many shore points and sites of interest and that means a lot of cool places to shoot.

Today's view is another late one and it's also another snapshot. Two snapshots actually.

Kim and I had a busy day getting our camp site set up. We rented a seasonal site in Cape May Courthouse that is just four miles away from the beach and will probably spend most of our weekends there this Summer. But there is work to do first. And today's work was cleaning the site and our camper. It was a long day but was worth it. So for today's view I would like to show you what we have done so far.

Today's Friday view is one more shot from last weekend's visit to the Cape May County Zoo. As I worked with the original RAW image I just couldn't get it right. Then I converted it to the black and white image you see here and knew that is what it needed. What do you think?

Today's view is one of the many shots I made at The cape May County Zoo yesterday. I had a good camera day and have lots to share but to start I would like to show you this shy bird that was hiding deep in the branches of a bush in the aviary. I was lucky to grab it before he flew off.

Today's view is a snapshot from one of our many stops today at the Jersey Shore. We spent most of the day setting up camp in Cape May Courthouse New Jersey where we will be spending a lot of time this Summer. And that means lots of photo ops! But we did take a little time out to visit the Cape May County Zoo. It was a beautiful day to stroll the grounds and shoot a pic or two and shoot a bunch of snapshots like this one.
