Just a few images from a quick photowalk yesterday afternoon. I’ve got enough cameras to bring a different setup depending on my whims. Yesterday was the 6D and 50 f/1.8. I used to not like this focal length but have been drawn to tighter images than my usual 35mm. It really makes me want somethingContinue reading “Monday Photowalk”

The Gardens
Today I took the X100F out to Meadowlark Botanical Gardens. I quite like how some of these photos turned out. I cannot decide if I like this last one of the unfurling fern. It ended up feeling a little too processed and constrasty. Maybe too much vignette? Either way, I like the composition but couldContinue reading “The Gardens”
My Zine has Arrived
Last year, during our tour of the northeast road trip, I decided it was time to explore some new photo mediums. I’ve seen various creators post about their zines online and decided to give it a try. I learned a lot, about fonts, CMYK printing, how to use layout software to name a few. OverallContinue reading “My Zine has Arrived”
Snow
I’m trying something new – posting here instead of Instagram. No one will see it but I won’t be giving Meta anything. And that’s fine, my photography has always been for me. I’m trying to walk around and take more photos. I see street photography online that I love but struggle with composition. This oneContinue reading “Snow”
The Great Conjunction
In case you missed it, Jupiter and Saturn were especially close in the sky a few weeks ago. I had the lucky opportunity to be in a photogenic location and snagged a nice picture at the Mandeville Lakefront in Fontainebleau State Park. ISO 800 | f/4 | 1/8 | 70mm
Franconia Notch – Artists Bluff
The second full day of my trip saw a very sore Ben with a very unhappy toe. I’d decided the night before that there was no way I could do Franconia Ridge Trail. I spent a lazy morning sitting in the field by the campground having breakfast and taking pictures. I tried hiking along theContinue reading “Franconia Notch – Artists Bluff”
Franconia Notch – Cannon Mountain
I had a lovely drive up. It just kept getting prettier and prettier. New York was nice but the best part was Route 7 over the mountain into Vermont. The border is right at the top and it opens up into a giant sweeping valley. The valley was bright red and orange with low cloudsContinue reading “Franconia Notch – Cannon Mountain”
New Hampshire
The beginning of October saw the second iteration of my annual fall vacation to New England. Last year was Acadia National Park. This year was the White Mountain region of New Hampshire. Like before, most of my photos live in the White Mountain National Forest gallery. Also like before, Squarespace doesn’t think native support forContinue reading “New Hampshire”
Milky Way Photo Editing
This post is a breakdown of how I typically edit Milky Way photos. I will typically follow this Lonely Spec tutorial but tend to skip it if I get satisfactory results on my own. .cr2 raw file The first thing I do is exposure, so adjusting overall exposure, highlights, shadows, and contrast via the sliders.Continue reading “Milky Way Photo Editing”
Hiking Old Rag
I hiked Old Rag on Sunday. I have been anxious about this hike because there is so much build up online about how tough it is and how exhausted you’ll be. I was worried about not being able to finish it or getting too tired through and struggling. Long story short, the hike was fantastic.Continue reading “Hiking Old Rag”
