Exploration Photography Daily View - November 14, 2016

Hi and welcome to the Daily View!

For today's Photo I would like to share a shot from Valley Forge that I made a few weeks ago. And like a lot of my work lately I am presenting it in black and white.

Hi and welcome to the Daily View!

I'm sure you have heard by now that the Moon is going to be the closest to the Earth that it has been in nearly 70 years. It's been all over the news for days now. And as it rose above the horizon tonight I was ready to go. Unfortunately it was positioned behind some trees at first so my line of sight was blocked. But instead of letting that ruin my image I gave it a go came up with this.

And a little bit later I had a clear shot. Though by this time it was not as large in the sky it was nice and clear.

From what I understand the Moon should appear very large at around 6:22 am tomorrow morning. I'll try to be ready but I hope I have a clear shot. If I do I'll be sure to share it with you.

Hi and welcome to the Daily View!

Today I would like to take another look back into the archives and show you another overlooked photo. And it combines two of my favorite subjects. A squirrel and a black and white image. I have really been working at the black and white thing lately and I am liking it a lot. 

What do you think? Would this be better in color? I'd love to hear your opinion.

Exploration Photography Daily View - November 11, 2016

Hi and welcome to the Daily View!

Early this morning before work I was in our basement going through some packed boxes looking for something. I didn't find what I was looking for but I did come across something really cool. 

Going back some years I inherited a handful of cameras from my Cousin Charles. Charles was quite the shutterbug and had a small but somewhat interesting collection. I have fond memories of him sharing it with me from the time I was a child and well into my adult years. In fact he is a very big part of why I love the art of photography. And today I would like to share with you one of the coolest cameras that is now mine to enjoy and preserve.

Here is the Pentax Auto 110.

Remember the days of 110 cameras? Yeah, me too. They sure were convenient but the quality was lacking. This was due to the very small negative. But with this camera Pentax attempted to improve the 110 image with what I believe to be the only (or at least one of very few) 110 SLR cameras with interchangeable lenses. I have never shot with this camera and seeing as 110 film was discontinued in 2009 you would think it impossible to do so now. But there is hope. And that hope is a company named Lomographische AG. They produce many styles of extinct film including 110. So perhaps I will snag a roll or two and see what this baby can do.

Hi and welcome to the Daily View!

We are just a few days away from what is supposed to be the biggest Super Moon in a very long time. And I certainly hope to be able to grab some shots and share some with you. Since tonight's sky has finally cleared up I figured I would get out there and take some warm up shots. Here is what I came up with.

Hi and welcome to the Daily View!

Continuing my journey through some of my older pictures I came across this shot from the beginning of this past Summer. Though we are heading into some colder months I will let this serve as a reminder that the warm weather will be with us again in a few short months.

Exploration Photography Daily View - November 8, 2016

Hi and welcome to the Daily View!

Since I have not had time to shoot much lately I thought I would go back and take a second look at some of my older stuff. And I think I came across something good. So I played around with it for a while and before I knew it I created this.

Two of my favorites. Birds and black and white. I really like it. I hope you do too.
