Summer Barn Scenic

This past Wednesday, I seized the opportunity to capture a few landscapes for a potential "4 season" shoot. A 4 season shoot is when you photograph the same scenic/place and photograph it during each season, spring, summer, fall, and winter. The first shot was taken in the spring, also after sunrise. In the second shot, the corn in the field was so tall, that the barn, next to the silos, is hidden from view.

I love to photograph landscapes when the sky is overcast in the background, but the sun is shining on the subject, such in this image. The light was beautiful on this fine morning!

Colorful Balloon

Here is another image from the balloon fest in Phillipsburg. The colors of the balloon and the blue sky gives this image a sense of element of design. The metadata for this image is f/7.1 @ 1/320, ISO 100.

Have a great week everyone!

The Elephant Balloon

Yesterday afternoon, my photobuds Nancy, Beth and I went to the Warren County Farmer's Festival in Phillipsburg, N.J. After getting something to eat, we found a decent spot, set up our camera equipment, and waited for the show to begin. While we waited, we were approached by a staff member on a 3-wheel vehicle who asked us if we had a pass. (Apparently, we were not allowed to shoot where we were set up without a pass.) The staff member told us where we could get our passes and left for a few seconds and returned with passes in his hands. Expecting the unexpected can be wonderful at times!

This shot of the elephant balloon was taken as the hot air was quickly filling the large apparatus. The truck in this image looks small next to the extreme, large balloon!
