Dig Deep

Posted by Mike on

Sunday morning was just a great autumn day. I had to stop into work early but by 8am I was walking along the barge canal with the camera. I tried something a little different yesterday. I used one lens on the walk out and then switched to the 8mm fish-eye lens for the return trip. I wanted to try ‘seeing’ differently with that big wide angle lens. I actually captured a few interesting views. This crawler excavator turned out to be one of my favorites.

Autumn Falls

Posted by Mike on

I believe the car has a mind of its own. It seems like every time I am driving north on route 81 from Binghamton, the darn car ends up exiting at LaFayette and finding its way to Chittenango Falls State Park. It must know when the weather is favorable that I need to stop and stretch my legs.

Sunday turned out to be a nice day to do some exploring so I really didn’t complain when the car ventured off on its detour. The colors were at their peak this past weekend and added a nice change from my normal images at this state park. I was hoping there had been enough rain to provide water in the side alcove I had found early this year but it was not to be. I guess this view isn’t a bad second place… 😉

Ups and Downs of the Fall

I traveled to Binghamton on Sunday to visit with my daughter and pick up a dresser from my mother-in-law. The day started out cold and rainy but by the time I was 30 minutes from the house it had done a 180. I stopped at a few of the state parks on the way back home to capture the autumn colors. This is from Pratt’s Falls State Park just south of Jamesville, NY and east of LaFayette, NY on route 20. I still need to process the images of the waterfall with the autumn colors in bold display but I really liked this one of the teeter-totter.
