Out for a Swim

Out for a Swim

Also from Rickett’s Glen. The teleextender on my 70mm did this one justice.

Ledge

More from Rickett’s Glen. Again, this is shot through a 1.4x teleextender.

Idyllic

Benton, PA. Shot through a 1.4x teleextender, which accounts for the softness.

Leaning

More from our recent Rickett’s Glen trip.

Rickett’s Glen #1

Rickett’s Glen #1

From our recent trip to Rickett’s Glen. This is one of the lower waterfalls — one of about 4 that we saw in the first quarter mile of the 7.5…

Light Farm

Light Farm

As some of you know, I’ve been on vacation in Germany for the past two weeks. I’m back home, and will be posting some more shots as I process them.…

Experiment

Experiment

An experiment: two lenses back-to-back to do macro photography. If the lenses had been higher quality, it might have come out better…

Damp

Damp

“Damp” is an understatement. You may have heard how the northeast has been deluged with rain for the past week. This bird couldn’t get more than 6 inches off the…

Tree and Clouds

Tree and Clouds

For our upcoming trip to Germany, I’m cleaning up old shots that I thought I might like to post at some point. Combined with the continued battle with the flu,…

Orange Tree

Orange Tree

I’m looking for my “Bird” shot for the photo hunt this week. I know what I want, and I just don’t have the time to sit and wait for the…

Colors of Spring

Colors of Spring

Some quick filler: a shot I took early last month while walking through Glenside.

Preening

Preening

Another shot from yesterday’s water scene.

Pond Scene

Pond Scene

I’m using a cheap Canon 75-300 IS USM lens which is quite soft. Add a circular polarizing filter and a Tamron 1.4x teleconverter and it gets *really* soft and dark.…

Lonely

Lonely

I was saving this one until it matched my mood. While that’s not true today, I also don’t have anything else I want to post…

Magnolia Branches

Magnolia Branches

I’m quite happy about this shot. While heading for the train I saw the reverse angle of this, managed to swap lenses, snap this angle, and barely slow down.

Dusk Under the Magnolias

Dusk Under the Magnolias

A shot from last year, which I didn’t post because I was going wild with the magnolias! Since they’re blooming again this is on my mind.

Evening Wildflowers

Evening Wildflowers

New technique: fast exposure, small aperture, and high-powered flash along with +4 macro adapter. The cropping is minor to correct for my lack of a proper macro lens.

Magnolia Spring

Magnolia Spring

Sadly, Drexel has marked these magnolia trees for removal today. It seems that they are removing all of the trees in the quad.

Color Blind Nightmare

Color Blind Nightmare

This is a cropped version of a shot taken last year at the Philly Photobloggers’ trip to Eastern State Penitentiary. The clover was obviously growing over something that had started…
