Skiing

I am not a great skier but I do enjoy it.


Kit: iPhone 12 Pro

That being said these images were taken with my iPhone. The quality isn't great but it was a chance to practice a Lightroom.

The shot of the trees is one I would like to have a second chance with an actual camera and time to really try to dial it in.



My wife and son are on the ski lift in front of me. When I took it I wasn't sure I would like having the lift in the shot. I wasn't sure if the cables running through the shot would be distracting or interesting
...right now I think interesting.


This wide-shot was a panorama but I still have issues correcting for them in post.

Meadow Farm - circa.. 1810 Kit: D5100 Canon 28mm 3.5 with Fotodiox Adapter The Set up This was one of my fist attempts at using this 1960/70 Canon 28mm 1.2 lens I got from my father. To mount this to my Nikon DLSR I used a Fotodiox adaptor. I had learned from my outing with the 55mm lens and I think I did better on the focus. The Process I have visited this park many times over the years and I really enjoy it. They have lots of events and trails to hike and or bike on. My son and I, and our two little dogs, were just out for a walk and i brought my camera to test out how well I was learning zone focusing and how to use this vintage lenses over all. The Issues I had less issues this trip than the previous one.. except I had noticed to spots on my sensor. So I cleaned it and didn't do a very good job. I actually made it worse. I had quite a few unusable images because of the mess I made of the sensor. Lesson learned make sure

River Adjacent

These images are actually not from a dog walk. I had some time down by the river and was able to take a few shots. Are you feeling home sick? Kit: Nikon18-200mm Lens on Nikon D5100 This walk way down to one of the many trail systems around the James River looked cool and had some interesting paining on it. I thought it was a nice little miniseries of images. I should probably try to get more of these as I continue. I had taken a few shots of this location earlier in the morning and didn't think I did a good job with the focus. So when I went back out I changed some settings and tried again. This guy walked through my shot so I waited form him to get into a good spot and incorporated him in instead of trying to avoid people like I usually do. I really like these trees. Their bark is so interesting and has a great gray/silver look. I really like finding them deeper in the w

New Orleans

When I first went down to New Orleans I thought it would be a good opportunity to practice Street Photography. While I was taking the photos I was thinking I would title this post "Street Photography: Art or Snapshots of Strangers?". Not that I don't think Street photography is art I am just not sure my street photography is art. I think you need to have the time to get the "Moment" in street photography and then the skills to have the correct settings and composition when said moment happens. I am not sure I have those skills but just maybe I had some happy accidents. Kit: Nikon18-200mm 3.5 Lens on Nikon D5100
