Monday View - 24 September 2018 Edition

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.

I shot this with my Samsung Galaxy S9+ and did some minor touch ups in Photoshop. I guess it's a snapshot+.

Welcome To The Exploration Photography Daily View

To wrap up the weekend I am sharing a photo of the campfire we had last night. I know I have posted a few of these lately but I think this is one of our better ones.

That will do it for today. Thanks for stopping by!

Welcome To The Exploration Photography Daily View

After a weekend off Kim and I finally made it back down the shore and our camper. And of course what goes better with camping than a nice campfire? So for today's photo I am sharing ours with you.

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

Until next time...

Welcome To The Exploration Photography Daily View

Kim and I are at our camper after a long drive so once again I am posting a weekend mobile Update.

As soon as we got here I started a fire and we are sitting enjoying it on this rather cool evening.

That's all for now. 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.

Not as clear as I would like but I'm sure it is more me than the camera.

Welcome To The Exploration Photography Daily View

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.

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

Welcome To The Exploration Photography Daily View

This past weekend sure had it's share of rain. Here at home and at our camper at the shore. But it held out long enough on Saturday night to have our first real campfire of the season. While enjoying the fire and the general relaxed atmosphere of our campsite I grabbed my camera and shot some photos. For today's view I would like to share this one with you.

Today's Link

Since we have been and will be spending a lot of time in Cape May County this Summer I thought it would be interesting to read up on some local history. I also hope to visit many historical sites. For today's link I would like to share a website that tells a bit of history and a lot of other good information. Click Here to check it out.

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

Welcome To The Saturday View

It seems that I have been sharing a lot of snapshots lately. And today I am sharing yet another one. It's not that I haven't been shooting. I have. But I think the quick and easy shots are kind of a nice change once in a while. With that being said let's get to today's photo.

Kim and I have been working hard to build our own "Backyard Oasis". And we're getting close to being done. At least for a little while. After all there's always something to improve upon. Today I finally put out our mini IKEA fire ring. Okay, it's not a ring but you get the idea.

Let me tell you, this thing works great. It's shaped just right to stack the wood in a way that it breathes and burns nicely. Yeah I know this can be done with a traditional fire ring but what can I say. I'm a bit lazy :) I shot this with my Samsung Galaxy S6. Along with the following video.

Welcome To The Daily View

We have always enjoyed a nice campfire. But a not so nice side effect is a lot of smoke. If you've been camping and have sat around a fire you know what it is like to have to shift around to avoid it. And the same goes for fire pits. So when shopping this past weekend for some outdoor accessories we purchased a Chimenea. A Chimenea has a chimney so all of the smoke goes up instead of in our faces. Tonight after work I assembled it and built our first fire. Here is a look.

Exploration Photography Daily View - December 6, 2016

Hi and welcome to the Daily View!

While visiting Longwood for their annual Christmas exhibit I noticed something new. Well actually there was a lot of new but this in particular is a great idea. Especially with the cooler weather we are having. What better way is there to warm up on a chilly Autumn/Winter evening than a nice campfire?


There was at least three of these set up throughout the grounds. And they were very popular. And very warm too!

Exploration Photography Daily View And Weekly Roundup - February 7, 2016

Hi and welcome to the Daily View and Weekly Roundup!

Wow what a quick weekend this was! We got a lot accomplished but now I feel like I need a couple days to rest up.

Today is Kim's and my anniversary. We have been married for 12 wonderful years. Most of the day was spent in home improvement centers buying this and ordering that for an ongoing kitchen project that is finally getting somewhere. In our journeys we came across a great clearance sale on outdoor equipment and bought ourselves a propane fire pit. Of course I had to try it out so as soon as it got dark we went out a spent a little time playing around with it. And naturally I had to shoot some photos. Here's one of them.


Very serene but still a bit chilly out there. 

And now for the Weekly Roundup... Finally...

Click on any of the links below to have a second look at the past weeks posts. Or perhaps a first look if you missed a day.










And that wraps up another week my friends. Thanks for stopping by and please come back real soon!

Until next time...

Spring Camping

Last weekend Kim and I went camping in the Pocono Mountains. It was a beautiful weekend and the weather was perfect. We stayed at The Delaware Water Gap/Pocono Mountain KOA campground. We like KOA campgrounds because they generally have high standards and are usually very clean. This is important when tent camping. At least to me it is:) Here is a shot of us in front of our tent.


I must admit that tent camping is not always my first choice. I prefer cabin camping. Especially in the hotter summer months. Being Spring however it was a very comfortable stay. It also helped that aside from the campers on one side of us that were hardly around at all we were pretty much alone.

Of course no camping trip is complete without a campfire.


And lots of nature:)



Sunrise In The Woods

During the weekend we were going to take a drive over to Bushkill Falls which was only about ten minutes from us but after talking to some of the campsite regulars and one of the employees we decided to check out Dingmans Falls instead.

Visitor Center at Dingmans Falls

Dingmans Falls is part of The Delaware Water Gap National Park. I highly recommend visiting if you happen to be in the area. It's a bit of walking but very much worth it. Of course I shot lots of photos. I'll be sharing some of them in my next post in a day or so along with a couple other places we traveled to.

Gotta go for now but here are a couple more shots at the campground.

Thanks for stopping by! I'll be posting again in a day or so so please check back.

Until next time...
