Post Thanksgiving Ramble

We were away in upstate NY for Thanksgiving this year.  Spending time with Wendy's family and some of our dearest friends.  I have a little tradition when we are upstate for the holiday to get up early the following day and head to Mendon Ponds Park.  I walk the old orchard trail and then take my camera to birdsong trail.  The titmouse's (or is it titmice?) and the chickadees were fun this year and posed for me a little once I offered up some birdseed.  It was a great trip in many ways.  One of the things I am thankful for is being able to get out and hike with my camera.

An image from last year...

I have not had a camera in my hands in a few weeks.... The leaves have fallen and the tempo of life at work has increased.  I can not believe I have not posted in two weeks.  I have been on such a roll this year. It has felt weird not to post.  I am afraid it will be more of the same this week.  Hopefully this weekend I'll get out with the camera.  I leave you with this image from fall of 2010 and wish all of you celebrating a happy Thanksgiving!

Community Photo Challenge - People in Landscapes

The November challenge over at community photo challenge is 'people in landscapes.'  My entry is from a late October morning in 2008 at Harriman State Park.  It was a wonderful peaceful morning.  This photos conveys that and I think it would not be the same without the fisherman in the boat.

A Departure From the Norm....

For those of you expecting flowers, waterfalls or lighthouses from me my apologies.... I planned to shoot nature today, but the leaves were gone, the park was crowded and I was not feelin' the love today.... That is until I saw these beauties sitting out in the sun at the local motorcycle shop... Chrome was just meant to be photographed in High Dynamic Range.

Re-Edited

Since I had a little time this morning I went back to the raw file of this image from my first Ithaca trip in June.  When I first edited the photos I had done a quick version of this one.  I have gone back and settled on a crop and worked on the tones of the image a little.  It looks like it will hold up to a 10x20 print.  I will have one done to see how it looks.  I am thinking this one will look great on canvas!

Sunrise and Fog Above The Trees - Ithaca, NY

A whole week of no pictures.

I woke up this morning and realized I have not taken any photos all week.  I will have to do something about that this weekend.... but I am not sure yet what.  I will post what ever I find.

Have a great weekend everyone,
Carl
