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.

Housekeeping

Manhattan Bridge
Since I finally got around to looking at this place again I decided to do a little housekeeping of the ‘ol blog. Mainly I just tweaked the CSS a bit and tossed up a new header image. It’s a shot of the Manhattan bridge I recently took while visiting my sister in NYC. You can see more of my photos from New York in this set. Still many more shots to post from the trip.

My other exciting addition is a new sidebar widget for displaying my recent flickr shots. It’s a hacked together combination of Lightbox 2 and Flickr Photo Album.  Very excited about this little bugger.  Took a while to get it to properly link back to the flickr photo pages and all that, but totally worth it!  Check it out to the right.  Click on an image and enjoy the lovely browsing.  Yes, I am totally geeking out on that.
