Some mornings are nicer than others and this was the case last Sunday up in Harriman State Park.
#1.First there was a nice predawn sky at one of my sunrise locations
#2. Then the Moon was setting as the sun was rising in another location
#3. then the light was coming up over the hills in...
As I patiently wait for things to get going here in the NE I have been looking through my older images..The Friday feature had me looking for hills and I came across this scene at Aguereberry Point in Death Valley. the typical shot is the one looking over Badwater and seeing Dantes in the...
Found a few more lurking on the drive.. This image is form last years run to the Ridgeway area where Bart , Larry and I spent the week and had a blast shooting and meeting up with Jim and many others from our forum. Shot on Rt 7 down along the river from the area where many people stop and shoot...
(2) from a quick run I made into the Catskills yesterday.
#1 :This is Rondout Creek just above the Blue hole..
A new comp for me.
#2: The moss there this time of year just glows in the early light. I tried to find a pleasing visual flow for this abstract reality comp.
All comments welcome...
It's coming..
I won't be getting here this year but this was from a few trips ago I found lurking on my drive.
All comments welcome and thanks for viewing reagrds,

Well its been a little boring around here and not much to shoot however we had a storm come through last night and I thought we might get a nice sunset with the clouds hanging around. I grab the gear and headed up to the park. Here is the shot under the influence of reflected light after the...
Well sort of randoms. It's mine and my wifes favorite place to go. We were talking about heading back soon and these were from a trip we took to Abiquiu to visit Georgia O'Keeffes home and studio, Taos & Santa Fe. Just a sampling of the amazing landscapes of New Mexico along the way:
1...

We are fortunate to have Mt. Laurels up in Harriman State Park.. so when I was laying in bed yesterday morning it occurred to me that the ML are probably blooming right now. I went up to take a look.
Here are a few from around the park.. what Im really after is a fog event and then things could...
Some more work in the garden...
The first is a visit from the hoverflies to my spiderwort.. While I like the detail in the image thats in focus my favorite part of this image is the incoming fly (OOF) on the top left coming in for a landing.
The 2nd/3rd image are alittle more abstract...
Im not sure where we are posting flowers.. so if this needs to be moved to another area please do or let me know.
The Iris are getting going and so is the Chinese dogwood...I spend hours in our garden with my 90 mm Tamron macro lens working on all sorts of stuff.
A few so far. All comments...
Bart Carrig, Larry Zink and I , 3/4 of the East coast contingent of Focal World :) made a quick run to Ricketts Glen State Park outside Scranton PA. This is an amazing gorge with 23 named waterfalls , a 6 mile loop trail and beautiful stretches of the river. Camping on site and an overall great...
A few more of the wild Dogwoods from Harriman State Park.
( as opposed to the domesticated ones like I have in my yard :))
They are scattered about in the shallow woods along the park Drive. Some are on their way out and some are getting stronger. I had been following a few for years and...
When the fog rolls into Harriman State Park the Tiorati plateau becomes the enchanted forest.
Here are 3 from yesterdays efforts.
#1 is on the Tiorati plateau
#2 is an isolation
#3 is ICM (intentional camera movement) of #1
All comments welcome and thanks for viewing regards, Dean
This was from back in 2016.
I was at Liberty State Park to shoot the Super Moon ( 2nd shot below). It was rising over Brooklyn and the Brookly Bridge. Heading back to the car and passed by this great arrangment of flags.
I had to stop and get them as well. I thought this would be another neat...
More from my dogwoods..3 of these are a lttle abstract but all done in camera via DOF and exposure.
The last is a simple focus stack of just 2 images, I really like the light behind this one so I included it.
Sadly my non domesticated dogwoods in the park are not doing so well these days so Im...
My domestic dogwoods are blooming again.. The wild dogwoods in the park (in the woods) should go next I am carfully monitoring. This one is just outside the kitcjen window and gets the morning light I like to shoot in.
The bloom is focus stacked from 5 images and shot at very shallow DOF to get...
Tulip still life:
