Throwback Thursday View - 19 July 2018 Edition

Welcome To The Exploration Photography Daily View

Today's throwback takes us to July 19 2015 at Longwood Gardens. We were there to see their "Nightscape" exhibit. Nightscape was a light and sound show setup throughout the gardens. Unfortunately they no longer do this show but at least we got to see it while it was there. Be sure to Click Here to see my original post.

Hi and welcome to the Daily View!

Today I would like to share one more photo from Longwood's Nightscape. Again though it is not really part of Nightscape. It's simply some lighted trees along one of the paths. In fact I shoot these every year at "A Longwood Christmas". Nonetheless though I think they stand out nicely.

I would also like to share another video I made the same evening.

Hi and welcome to the Daily View!

Today's photo was shot last weekend when Kim and I visited Longwood Gardens for Nightscape. It was kind of a rare moment with no one in front of the Pierce-du Pont House.

I love seeing it lit up. I usually visit during the day. Either way it is equally impressive.

Hi and welcome to the Daily View!

Moving from the Moon back to Longwood here is a photo of the waterfall in the Conservatory.

It looks so much different with the lights dimmed for Nightscape.

Exploration Photography Daily View - October 9, 2016

Hi and welcome to the Daily View!

Yesterday was a long day my friends. We were out and about for most of it and then well into the evening. But the evening was the best part. Kim and I took a drive to Longwood Gardens to see their Nightscape exhibit. If I am not mistaking this is the third year of Nightscape and though a lot of it remains the same I never get bored. If you are not familiar, Nightscape is a light and sound display throughout the gardens and in the Conservatory. And it is spectacular. You can read about it here. Naturally during our visit I shot a lot of photos and even some video. Today's photo however is not of the exhibit. One of the cool things about being at Longwood at night is the chance to see nature in a different light. Or perhaps a lack of light.

I will share a video though. This was shot in the Conservatory.

Exploration Photography Daily View - July 21, 2015

Hi and welcome to the Exploration Photography Daily View! Anyone who knows me knows that I love to photograph squirrels. I always have and there are tons of old 35mm shots to prove it. And seeing as it's been over a week since I last shared one with you I figured today would be a great day to do so. This was shot this afternoon when I got home from work.

One of our resident critters. And he sure isn't shy. He comes right to the door and waits for peanuts.

I also have one more video to share from Nightscape at Longwood Gardens. Well it's probably the last video. At least of Nightscape but I do have some more to go through. Anyhow this is the Legacy Tree. I was only able to record about a minute because it was very crowded but you will get the idea.

Remember that my videos look best in 1080P HD and of course at Full Screen.

And that's all for now. Thanks as always for stopping by!

Until next time...

Happy Monday everyone! It was another scorcher today but it looks like relief is around the corner. But hot or not I needed to tend the plants and bushes and of course the cafe after work today. As I was watering one of our bushes I noticed some spider webs and thought the water really looked cool on them. I shot several photos and today I would like to share this one with you.

A lot of people don't like or are afraid of spiders but I for one find then beneficial. They really do seem to cut down on flying insects. For that matter so do the birds and you know I a few of them around here.

Moving on from my webbed bushes I would like to share another video from Longwood Garden's Nightscape exhibit. This one was recorded at the Topiary Garden and again is just incredible. The lighting was a bit difficult to work with but I think it came out pretty good. Check it out below and remember it is best viewed in 1080P HD and of course at Full Screen.

And that's all for today my friends. But I'll be back with more real soon!

Until next time...

Exploration Photography Daily View - July 19, 2015

Hi my friends and welcome to the Exploration Photography Daily View! What a busy weekend it has been. And very warm too. But I am not complaining. I may have said it before but after the cold Winter we had here this is a welcome change.

Last night Kim and I took a drive down to Kennett Square, Pennsylvania and visited one of our favorite places. Longwood Gardens. From now through part of October they are presenting Nightscape. Nightscape is a light and sound show that starts after dark and is just amazing. In standard Longwood style they go all out to create a show that should really be seen live to properly appreciate it. But fear not. I recorded a few videos that give at least a little glimpse. And I will be sharing them over the next few days in the Daily View. And speaking of the Daily View here is today's.

Longwood by night is a completely different place than it is during daylight hours. Nature tends to be more active. As we were walking from one presentation to another we could here frogs calling back and forth to each other in the marsh. It was pitch black and kind of cool and eerie at the same time. And when we reached the end of the marsh I saw someone photographing something on the ground. Of course I had to check it out and when I did I found this frog. Now remember that it was pitch dark. This was shot with my phone's camera and I had use the flash. I am just glad I didn't spook the poor guy.

And now how about one of those videos? This was shot in the Palm Room located in the Conservatory at the beginning of the presentation. It's about a minute long but should give you a good idea of what Nightscape is like.

And that does it for today folks. I am glad you stopped by and hope to see you again real soon!

Until next time...
