Interesting Accident

Last night I went down to the Utica Marsh to capture some sunset images. I was hoping the normal purple wildflowers would be in full bloom so I could contrast them with the soon to be orange sunset. They were in bloom but only on the far side of the marsh. I spent my time wandering the barge canal trail next to the marsh exploring with the sunset light. As I was moving the camera from portrait to landscape mode I accidentally triggered the shutter. This is the resulting image. I wish all my accidents were this interesting… lol

Cruisin’ the Barge Canal

This is the second time I have seen this boat on the barge canal. Looking up the website I find there are some very interesting tours available. Next stop would be the bank to see how best to rob it so I could afford one. lol

My Playground

This is one of my playgrounds with the camera. The trails along the barge canal provide great opportunities for images. This is a wide angle view of both the Utica Marsh and the Barge Canal from the Route 12 bridge. It still amazes with how much scenery the 8mm lens can capture!
