A Touch of Spring

Yesterday I ventured to downtown Lancaster with a few members of the Lancaster Meetup Group. We walked down East Chestnut Street, and other areas of town stopping to take photos of buildings, people, and still life. After stopping for beverages at the Prince Street Cafe', we continued our photo shoot at Central Market. This image was taken at a local flower and produce stand at market. Spring officially starts tonight!

Happy Spring everyone!

Susquehanna River Floods - Marietta

This morning I went out to the Susquehanna River to document (via my Pentax K7) the flood damage. This image was taken at the Marietta Boat Club launch area. Looking at the tree on the left, you can see how high the water rose, and compare it to the current water levels today.

The red building is the boat house that stands on a hill. The hill is currently under water.

The Weather Channel is launching a new reality TV show, "From the Edge with Peter Lik" focusing on scenic outdoor photography. The show will follow Peter Lik, an Australian landscape photographer as he travels to places where weather continues to have a unique impact on the landscape.

Throughout the thirteen episodes, Peter Lik will photograph stunning landscapes across Hawaii, Alaska, Death Valley, Utah and other hidden gems off the map. We will see all his photographs and techniques along the way as he overcomes weather-related obstacles to find the perfect shot.

Brooms for Sale

Here is an image from today's photo shoot at the Bart Township Mud Sale. I like the pattern that the brooms made. This image was cropped and tweaked in contrast. I will post more images from the mud sale in the next few days. Stay tuned!
