Squared – SQ94
Yesterday was another great Saturday. I had plans to make a trip to a few state parks around Ithaca, NY but at the last minute decided I needed to get a few things done around the house before the rains arrived. It was a good decision as I look out the window this morning watching the rain soak everything in sight.
In between my chores I managed to drag the camera out a a few times. I spent both the morning and evening with the macro lens attached scouring the yard for those tiny, over-looked details. This post is the result of my exploring. I am probably beating this square format thing to death but I truly enjoy my macro images composed this way.
I also did not want to miss out on my state park plans (especially considering I went out Friday night and bought this year’s Empire Passport!) so I hopped up to Pixley Falls for some waterfall photography with my new filter setup. Other than the park being very crowded with parents letting their kids climb everywhere (in some cases dangerous places) I managed to gather a few interesting images. I’ll be processing those and posting later.

Inspiring, Mike! I read your posts and think about getting out there with my camera again and then I don’t do it. It’s a rainy Sunday morning here too so it won’t be today, but I’m hoping my photography muse comes back soon!
I generally carry my camera with me everywhere I go. Some days it never leaves the car, others I take it for walks but do nothing with it. I like having it in those moments when I do ‘see’ something I want to capture. When you start to ‘see’ images as you walk or drive, then you will know it is time to grab the camera again. Your muse will come when it is ready… I look forward to what you will ‘see’ when it does return.
Nice macro shots – I love the first one, it’s so light and the background is perfect!
