AMS & S

Rome, NY

My intent was to go to Bellamy Harbor Park last night to catch the sunset. I did get to the park but I wasn’t awe struck by the scene. I might have captured a few good images, we’ll have to see what I find when I review the images.

I did find pass a cool looking scene as I was driving home. Due to the amount of rain we have had there are puddles of water everywhere. I passed this old factory (now the home of American Metal Stamping & Spinning) and the reflection of the sign immediately caught my eye. I turned the car at the very next left and found a parking spot across the street.

My tripod legs can be flattened, allowing me to get my camera almost on the ground.  With this configuration and placing everything next to the puddle allowed me to capture this great reflection.  I liked the portrait orientaion better due to being able to get the whole lamp post in scene.

Monorail Monday

I think I will always walk around Future World in Epcot looking for interesting views of the monorails. I can’t help myself. I will wait. I will plan. And I will wait some more. It is part of my fun while I am in the park.

This Monorail Monday image is of Monorail Green gliding through Future World in front of a few pretty big flowers. When I spotted the these flowers on the grassy knoll before Mission: Space I knew a monorail image would not be far behind. My wait was only seven minutes for this opportunity to present itself. Usually my biggest challenge is getting a fast enough shutter speed to freeze the monorail.

Old Erie Canal Park, DeWitt, NY

Yes, I am back to the dang aqueduct around the corner from work. How can I not go when the weather is perfect? Lunch did not come soon enough on Friday. It wasn’t that work was difficult, it was everything all at once. Being pulled in 10 different directions makes it hard to complete anything. Eventually you scream, “Stop!”, and take a breath. Gather your thoughts. Prioritize. Knock the tasks off one at time.

My stop and take a breath was a trip during lunch to the Old Erie Canal Park. I had blue skies, puffy white clouds, green leaves on the trees and running water. I was in my happy place… 🙂
