Barge Canal Area

It was a little cold this morning, just below freezing, but I wanted to stop before groceries to grab some images. My original thought was to get nice, moody images as there was a lot of fog in the area. My plans quickly changed as noticed the great frost on everything as I was driving down to the canal (the canal is my go to place for foggy, moody images).

I switched lenses to my macro lens and went out exploring around the parking area for the canal trail. It didn’t take me very long to find some beautiful subjects. I have a habit of going for the simple subjects but I think it definitely works for these.

I did manage to grab those moody shots as well but I will save those for another post. I tried a new location along the canal and it paid off for me… 🙂

Not Waiting on Spring

Although the weather was the best it has been in quite a long time I was tired of waiting for some color to arrive here in Upstate NY. I decided to bring home some flowers from the store to brighten up the place and give me something to photograph. Still think I need to play with the photography part of this plan but the touch of color did make me feel better… 🙂

The End of Summer

Posted by Mike on October 5, 2012

Over on Scott Thomas’s Blog – Views Infinitum, his bi-monthly photo assignment was about portraying the end of summer. There was plenty of time for me to organize a nice post showing my view but for whatever reason I never managed to create the post (or finish capturing the images I wanted). The following two pictures were going to be part of my view…
