Sunflower Field

Yesterday, I finally had the opportunity to visit the sunflower field at Longwood Gardens. Although the sunflowers were rather dry, I managed to get a few worthy images. It wasn't hard to find bees polinating on the flowers, as the attached image will show. This sunflower shot was cropped and the background was blurred as well.

The metadata was f/6.3 @ 1/500th, ISO 100 handheld.

Have a great week!

Lancaster County Sunrise

I was so inspired with yesterday's shoot @ Hopewell that I decided to get up early this morning to capture a few landscapes. Not finding any misty areas in Marietta, I drove down Route 23 and stopped at a small church that had a lot of inspiration for landscapes.

Attached is one of my favorite images of the morning. Although the thumbnail size doesn't do it justice, there is a white barn in the distance on the left side. There is also some mist that adds atmosphere to the shot. Oh and the clouds in the sky helped out some too:)
Happy Labor Day!

Enchanted Horse in Meadow

Early this morning, I met up with several members of the Chester County Camera Club for a sunrise shoot at Hopewell Furnace. The morning greeted us with great light and some fog as well. The white horse in the meadow looks "fairy-tale like" with the fog.

The metadata for this image was f/16 @ 1/6 seconds, ISO 100 with my camera mounted on my tripod.
