Bridges
This is the first week on a new adventure! When I was on vacation, running around Disney with my camera like a mad man, I met a lot of photographers. I know, no surprise there since it was a photography event, but I guess what I really should say is I connected with a lot of photographers. There was one couple in particular that every time we ran into each other we would stand and talk like old friends. I wish we had spent more time exploring together but we have stayed in touch since returning to our respective communities.
It is with these new (old) friends of mine that I will be adventuring. We are going to work on our photography together. Selecting a theme each week, getting out with our cameras, posting the results and discussing each image. The main goal is to get ourselves out with the cameras with a subject in mind. Explore some themes outside each of our own comfort zones and basically have a lot of fun showing off our communities. The first theme is bridges!
The weekend weather didn’t understand that with the shorter days I needed to use Saturday and Sunday for my exploring. I did manage to get out around sunrise on Sunday for about an hour before the rain eventually forced me back inside. I had a few bridges in my head that I wanted to explore, one I had even captured before but I was going to go for something different this time. I also found a covered bridge about an hour away but those plans fell through. It made my list of places to visit in the future…
Both of these bridges are in South Rome next to the barge canal. I have typically used the second bridge in a supporting roll for the images I capture of the canal. This time is was the main player. The first image was something I wanted to capture while trying to bring out all the detail. I liked the fact that this railroad bridge also had asymmetric tunnels for the cars. Both images required multiple exposures to capture all the detail. I did push the HDR look of the first a little farther than I normally do but one of my goals for this adventure was to try different things. So it is what it is.

Assignment 27: Vacation
Scott is back from his traveling hiatus with a new assignment! The vacation theme is very appropriate this time of year and lucky for me I recently returned from one. I encourage everyone to participate and maybe take a second look at your vacation images with an eye toward finding something out of the ordinary or take this opportunity to try out some new processing. With the weather here in Upstate NY taking that turn toward winter I would love to see some warm images! 🙂
Have you taken a vacation in the last year? Maybe you call it a holiday. Either way you call it, such times give us an opportunity to relax, improve and renew our lives. While many people use vacation time to travel, others may use the time for other projects or events.
If you have not guessed, this month’s assignment is for you to share your Vacation photos. You will not bore me. I promise! 🙂 So…where or what did you do on vacation?
As in the other assignments, do not send me your photos. What I would like you to do is post them on your blog, flickr, Google+ or other photo sharing site, personal website or any place on the Internet where you can place a link to it here by making a comment to this blog entry. Then, we can all visit those sites and enjoy everyone’s

Dead Men Tell No Tales
My first night in Disney was a flurry of running around the Magic Kingdom. The park was open until 1am and I walked through the gates around 10pm. There were a lot of night images I had in my head that I wanted to capture. This image out in front of the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction was near the top of the list. I had tried to capture this on previous trips but the process to do it properly had eluded me. With the new techniques I had learned in the year since my previous visit and some added patience I was hopeful I would be able to do it justice.
