Tiny Fields

It’s been quite some time since I’ve posted any photos on the blog.  I’ve been really into photography again lately so I figured I would share a few.  This first shot was taken with some friends at an old burned down hotel.  All kinds of strange plants were growing out of the concrete foundation that looked pretty cool.  Here are some tiny ones that I shot with my 28-75 which is not Macro, but it’s pretty close.  I really liked the depth of field here and the look of the tiny little forest of trees.

The shot below was taken while I was on vacation in NYC over the winter.  New York had gotten a pretty good snow the day before.  It was FREEZING out on the bridge but I soldiered on.  I took over 200 shots just crossing the bridge, which is excessive even for me.  Only a handful were really interesting to me, this is one.  Architectural style photos are not my thing, but this turned out well I think.

Dragon This is one of the many reasons I love photography.

I recently took a 3 city tour of Washington DC, Philly, and New York.  I was visiting my sister in New York in  Brooklyn for four days and LOTS of photography.  On a trip like this I have my camera with me everywhere I go and will actively search out locations and events for shooting.  I do try to keep my camera with me as much as possible when I’m out and about.  This is why.

I had taken off early this morning to go to the local Farmer’s Market so Kate could pick up some fresh goods for the week.  Afterwards I had planned to cross through a local snow covered park.  Next location was Dumbo to take some bridge and skyline photos.  It was in the teens and windy but I had to make the crossing of the Brooklyn Bridge.  Well worth it.  Lots of fun shooting.  I was freezing my butt off so I went off in search of noodles.

Shortly after landing on Manhattan I heard singing in the distance.  I had to go investigate!  When I arrived I found myself in the middle of local Chinatown Christmas Parade.  The shot above is just one of MANY that I snagged.  Check my flickr stream for more fun shots.  Many many more NYC photos to come.  You can see what I have posted thus far in this set.
