Welcome To The Sunday View

Today was quite a day my friends. Down the street from our house is a really nice and quite large State Park. On the other side of the park is one of my favorite local destinations. The Elmwood Park Zoo. Well not really right on the other side. It's on the other side after you throw in some twists and turns and a little traveling along some main roads. In all we are about three miles away from the zoo. A trip that usually takes us about five minutes in a car. Except today we didn't drive. We walked. Walking takes about a hour. But at least there was a lot of nice scenery along the way. And over the next couple days I will be sharing some of it with you. So to start things off I would like to show you this.

I set out to shoot some Fall colors and I think this fits the bill nicely. Nothing quite says Fall better than a yellow dried up corn field.

Welcome To The Sunday View

For today's photo we are switching things up. But just a little. We are going back to macro but we are staying in color instead of black and white. Oh we're going from Valley Forge to a park closer to home too. I shot this at The Norristown Farm Park. A State Park that is almost literally in our backyard.

I believe this to be a wild strawberry. And with it's colors I thought black and white wouldn't do it justice. Though I may give it a look sometime.

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.
