bulls-eye

Alex needed a photo of himself at archery for his phys ed class, so I hooked him up. He didn’t hit the bulls-eye on this shot, but he often does.

axles

I found these railroad axles all neatly lined up at the Reading and Northern Railroad in Port Clinton. They cried out for monochrome

another rainy morning

While taking some photos one morning after rain had fallen, I noticed this flower. A contribution to Macro Monday and I Heart Macro #1

raymondskill falls

Woody — Fri, 17 May 2013 15:00:53 +0000

I took a ride on my shiny new ‘chrome pony‘ and visited Raymondskill Falls, the tallest waterfall in PA. It’s ~100 miles (160KM) from my home, which is about a 2 hour drive. This photo is taken from mid-falls, so you’re only seeing half the picture.

I used a 10x Neutral Density filter and f/16 to get an 89 second exposure which makes the water silky. I particularly like the way the running water fans out into the pool. Monochrome conversion was performed in Silver EFEX Pro. I posted the color version below. I like them both, but I’ll probably print the monochrome. I’d be delighted to hear your thought in comments.

I bought a portable tripod because it fit in my saddlebag and it wasn’t up to the task. I should have lashed a real tripod to the back of my bike, which I will do next time. Because of my shortsightedness, I missed out on some photos, but now have an excuse to return

the other morning

I noticed little drops of water had accumulated on the pansy’s from overnight rain.

parking lot

I took a little trip last week to Delaware Water Gap National Park. When I entered the parking lot, this was my view; right up my alley, I don’t like crowds. Stop back tomorrow to see why I visited this particular park (ain’t I a tease?).

sidecar

Woody — Wed, 15 May 2013 09:00:56 +0000

Why does the headlight on this sidecar look so funky? I have no idea, but it looks like a BIG eye.

One of many fine rigs I saw at Oley.

Who wouldn’t love a bike with the name Flying Merkel? This one’s a beauty I saw while walking around Oley.

Happy Mother’s day, all you moms!

This bridge is part of the Reading and Northern Railroad in Port Clinton. It carries pedestrians, motor vehicles and trains! It’s just down the road from this sign. I like the color!

indian

The seat on this old Indian motorcycle had some cool springs and I though the petrol tank made for an interesting background.
