On the Edge
While I was in the cemetery the other night capturing some images of the spring flowers I noticed this storage building. There is something about the texture and detail in the wood siding that made me setup the camera. I like the color version but I am more fond of the monochrome processing.

The Rest of the Walk
I might have mentioned in a few of my posts that I spent last weekend with my parents. I stayed at my Dad’s house since my Mom has her hands full with my Grandpa (he is 97 this year!). I also wanted to stay with Dad since after my last visit in February I pulled him back into photography.
My Dad purchased a Pentax K-1000 and several lenses almost 30 years ago. He hasn’t really done anything with them for quite a long time. I was hoping to buy the system from him but after talking to him I convinced him to keep everything if there was even a small inkling he would be interested again. I found him a used Pentax K10D with a 16-55mm lens which will still accept the old lenses. This past weekend was our first chance to get together and figure everything out for him.
I have to admit I am a little impressed with the Pentax camera. I’m not a big fan of the way it handles ISO settings but overall it is easy to use, has in-camera image stabilization and captures a great image with the old lenses. I was able to get Dad all setup so he doesn’t have to worry about too many settings as he learns about this “digital” camera world. He wants to be ready for a cruise to Alaska he is taking in June. I think he’ll be fine.
Even though he wants to understand the camera I kept stressing that the only good way to learn was to get outside and capture some images. I told him he has to start carrying the camera everywhere he goes so he will be ready when that next image captures his eye. We did manage to stop last Monday at Long Point State Park which is just done the road from his house. The park is on the shores of Chautauqua Lake and we had a great time photography by the marina and along the trail all the way to the point.
I have already posted some of the images from that day. The ones included in this post are more of my favorites…

The Blues
Sunday was a great day! Not only was the day gorgeous with warm temperatures and sunshine I was able to bookend the day with photography. Due in part to daylight savings time occurring Sunday morning I had plenty of time for a walk with the camera before anyone else in the house woke up. There were a few clouds in the sky willing to highlight the sunrise and a long absence from the field across the road combined for some great early morning captures.
After a busy day filled with grocery shopping and a trip to the movies with my daughter I ended the day at Delta Lake state park for some sunset delight. Once again there were cooperating clouds, no wind and practically no people. The ice on the lake has started to melt and the water pools added to any composition I wanted to create. You might be flooded with pictures from the fun last night. I’ll apologize ahead of time! 🙂

The Path to Riches
Well, maybe not the path to riches exactly, but at least it was a path to fishes…
It was another beautiful day here in Central NY and I ventured out in the late afternoon to track down some more eagles. The young one was once again perched on the tree by the Black River but after I scared him away I found my way up to Delta Lake State Park for a little sunset action.
It was a little disappointing in the sky, the colors were more muted than I had hoped for but this view along the snowmobile path out into the frozen lake was cool. I was hoping for a more contrast between the warm sky colors and the cool ice/snow. I’m not complaining though, I had a great time exploring and just being outside was good. I’m sure I’ll be back before the winter is over…
