Exploration Photography Daily View - December 16, 2015

Hi and welcome to the Daily View!

When I am out shooting (photos) I generally concentrate on landscapes. It is after all my favorite subject. But while photographing the "big subject" I often find myself distracted by many of the "little things". It's a habit that has increased over the years. And I feel fortunate for it. Remember it's the little things that make up the big picture. So to that end I share this with you today.

I saw this while shooting at Lock 60 in Phoenixville Saturday. Doesn't nature find the most interesting places to show up? Perhaps this is a case of nature taking over something that man has created. Interesting twist huh?

Thanks for stopping by!

Until next time...

Hi and welcome to the Daily View!

For the past few days I have been sharing photos that I recently shot at Lock 60 in Phoenixville. But what I haven't showed you is a picture of the actual lock. So here you go.

You can also see the lock keepers house at the top left of the frame. Both are part of the Schuylkill Canal which is now open to the public as a park and is very popular with joggers and sightseers alike. You can also see people canoeing and fishing. Makes me look forward to Summer :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Until next time...

Exploration Photography Daily View - December 13, 2015

Hi and welcome to the Daily View!

It would be an understatement if I said "Wow! what great weather we had this weekend!". As I type this it is 63°. On December 13 in the Northeast. This is a welcome but unusual occurrence. Naturally Kim and I wanted to enjoy the outdoors a little so we headed to a local place that we visited several years ago and kind of forgot about. Schuylkill Canal Lock 60. The only remaining lock on the Schuylkill River. It's kind of a well known but at the same time forgotten part of the local park system. You can check it out at this link if you like. As we walked long the river I shot several frames and would like to share this one with you today.

A bit overcast but oh so warm!

I have a lot more to share but for now I must go. I'll be back real soon though and hope you will be too!

Until next time...

Exploration Photography Daily View - September 4, 2015

Hi and welcome to the Friday edition of the Daily View!

In wrapping up last weeks adventures I would like to share one more shot from the Schuylkill River Trail in Valley Forge. This is one of the pedestrian bridges as seen from the river.

Thanks for stopping by!

Until next time...

October 25, 2014 - Photo Of The Day

Today was a somewhat productive day. I finally made it over to our local library and did a little research that I have been wanting to do. I learned a little more about the subject of a future blog post. Hopefully I'll get it posted sooner than later.

In addition to the library trip we ran our regular errands but also managed to make it over to the Betzwood Picnic Area. Part of Valley Forge National Park. It was such a beautiful day and who knows how many of those we have left this season so I wanted to spend at least a little time outdoors. Of course I had my camera with me. so for today's photo I would like to share this with you.

  

This is looking over the Schuylkill River toward the main part of Valley Forge Park and was created from three separate images and combined using Photomatix HDR software and then adjusted using Photoshop. If you would like to see the original images I will be posting them at the Facebook Group here. If they aren't there when you check please try again in a bit.

That's all for now folks. Be sure to check back soon.

Until next time...
