Pixley Falls State Park
Old Erie Canal Park, DeWitt, NY
On Monday I was busy at work trying to get ready for a trip out of town. When lunch rolled around I definitely needed to step away from my desk for a little while. I headed over to the Old Erie Canal Park to see what remained of the autumn colors. It was an overcast day but I knew that would work to my advantage for some longer exposure images.
In the course of playing under the Butternut Creek aqueduct I accidentally pressed the shutter as I was adjusting my tripod. This is one of those times were I don’t think I could have created this image on purpose. In the past I have experimented with intentional camera movement and some of the images created were worth sharing. When I saw this image in Lightroom I knew I wanted to process it. It might not speak to anyone but I think because of my frequent visits to the aqueduct this summer it really does to me.
Fireworks Friday
On the day I visited Animal Kingdom I knew there was one view I wanted to capture… it was the Star Wars: Galactic Spectacular fireworks show at Hollywood Studios. No, you did read that correctly. From the bridge into Africa, looking toward Expedition Everest in the Animal Kingdom you can watch the fireworks show at Hollywood Studios. A fellow photography friend turned me onto to this little gem of information. I am no expert at fireworks photography, I’m still struggling with the settings, but even I was able to walk away with a few good images.
