Lancaster County Convention Center


Here is another image from my recent photo outing in Lancaster City. I captured this image at the lower level area at the Lancaster County Convention Center. The image was later converted to B&W in post processing. I would like "my fans" to critique this photo for me, since this is different from the regular subjects that I shoot. Is it missing something? Should I have added a person or two? It would have been difficult to do since this was a 30 second exposure! Any ways, your comments are appreciated!

Saint Marys Catholic Church

Yesterday, I decided to work on buildings, both inside and outside. While in the City of Lancaster, I stopped at Saint Marys Catholic Church (my first visit) and photographed the inside of the beautiful cathedral-style church. When I arrived, the altar was not lit. Within a few moments, the lights were turned on and at first, I thought that maybe the lights were automated in some way! Or, was someone else giving me a sign? As it turned out, a church worker was responsible for the lights as she was getting ready to water the poinsettias. Also, a wedding was scheduled, as to why there were ribbons and bows on the church pews.

The metadata for this image was f/11 @ 20 seconds, ISO 100 and my camera mounted on my Induro tripod.

Snowy Branches


Here is another image from my recent "Snow Day" self assignment. Giving yourself "self" assignments is a good way of practicing your photography skills. Sometimes, you can get really creative with what you capture too. The only left to ask myself now is what will my next self-assignment be?


The metadata for this image was f/22 @ 1/4, ISO 100.

Another Snowy Landscape


Here is another image from my recent outing in Mount Joy. I like how the leading lines from the field lead your eyes to the lone tree, then to the barn in the background. Leading lines, especially diagonal, can bring a little excitement to an image!
The metadata for this image was f/22 @ 1/15th, ISO 100 with my camera mounted on a tripod.
