Winter Campus

Posted by Mike on

SUNY Polytechnic Institute

I am pretty sure these images were influenced by my reading of Our National Parks this week. It might seem cliché for me to admire Ansel Adams, being the iconic landscape photographer, but I truly enjoy his images and have learned quite a lot about photographing light by studying his images.  The one big take away for me every time I look at his images is that shadows are just as important as the highlights.

On Thursday my daughter usually gets out of class early and I rush over right around 4pm to pick her up from campus.  One of her friends has another class at 6pm and she usually spends the in-between time with her.  Me getting to campus too quick just doesn’t work for them, so this Thursday with the warmer temps and beautiful blue sky I spent an hour roaming the campus with my camera.  It was a win-win…  🙂

Stopping Time

Posted by Mike on

Monorail Monday
Future World, Epcot, Walt Disney World

Every image is really about stopping time but some images show it more than others. This image especially conveys that stoppage due to the reverse waterfall and the frozen in time look. Normally I like my waterfalls looking smooth but this was captured before I had filters for my Olympus lenses.

Sunset Blues

Posted by Mike on

Delta Lake State Park

Today’s image is from the end of my photography adventure on Saturday. I was able to get out and capture both the sunrise and the sunset, with this sunset being at my old stand-by Delta Lake State Park. The water level in the reservoir is always low during the winter so I was able to walk out quite a ways toward this familiar point to capture the sunset light reflected in the layer of ice.
