Evening Stroll

Despite feeling under the weather today; when my daughter asked me to take a walk with her and my wife before dinner this evening, I decided that I would. Of course I grabbed my camera (this is a photography blog right?), as I usually do.

Most times when presented with an unexpected outing like this (however brief) I like to go the simple route. Instead of grabbing my bag & gear; I just take my camera and one lens, my Minolta 50/1.7. It is a great length for a wide range of images and with a max aperture of f/1.7, it is especially good at shooting in the lower light of evening without having to use flash. The other thing I like about using a fixed lens (or prime) is that you have to think a bit more on your composition and zoom with your feet.

We were only out for about 30 minutes; but it was enough to get the appetites stirred up for the chili warming in the crock pot. Not photo related; but the chili was great coming home to on a cool evening...

Unleashed and ready for Fall...

Here is a recent image from a family outing. Bach and Mozart are off their leashes and couldn't be happier! They are not the only ones enjoying the cooler temps and changing leaves... I too am hoping to have some opportunities to be a little unleashed myself as the Fall foliage season kicks into high gear. I am looking forward to discovering new vantage points to shoot from and visiting old favorites.

Check out my site for more images from this recent trip and stay tuned for Fall images and my Holiday Specials...

Rainy Sunday Morning

After missing Saturday's sunrise; I resolved to rise early enough to catch Sundays...

Mother Nature had other plans in the form of rain. While I didn't venture out as some others I know; I did take a little time to create a few images in my favorite natural light studio, my kitchen counter.

For me, northern light always yields the best natural light images, especially still life images. My kitchen windows are northern exposure so I get great light in there to work with...

I call this one "Banana Moon".

Evening Light

I have been itching to get some sunset images. Seems all I have been shooting lately are sunrises. I was busy and almost ran out of time this evening before I could get out. I tried to hook up with a local professional, Ed Heaton. Couldn't make that happen as he was already out (capturing stunning images no doubt).

Hopefully I will get to shoot with him again before too long. Great talent and just a good guy...

Here is one from tonight. Just drove up 322 out of Downingtown trying to find a spot...

Recent Happenings...

Well let's see...

My family and I have been dealing with a personal issue over the past couple of weeks that had put any photography far into the background.

That issue is slowly resolving itself...

My site is finally repaired and now I have to go through the exercise of reloading all my galleries, but I am getting there.

This image is from this morning. I wanted (read that needed!) to get out and do a little shooting. Wonderful sunrise at Marsh Creek...

Have a great day - Ed

Labor Day Sunrise

Trying to make the best of the cloudy morning. I started in Center City; but there wasn't much sun on the rise there...

Just before heading for home; I thought maybe I should take a quick detour up to one of my other favorite sunrise spots...

Here are the results...

Have safe and happy Labor Day! - Ed
