Hot Air Ballon
Hello everyone,This is the first image of a couple of Hot Air Balloon image's from Sunday. Ed Harding & I spent about 45 minutes stalking this ballon. At first it was to far, then the light was bad, or a distracting background. Finally we reached a spot were the balloon seemed to stand still for a minute while low to the ground. Giving us ample time to shot off a couple of images. One of the amusing things about this is about 10 Amish buggies went by and neither of us took a shot at them.Hope you enjoyNick
Warm Light on Farm
This morning I met up friend & photographer for a sunrise. Like a couple of days ago there was no cloud in the sky and a little bit of mist. This shot here is a 5shot HDR image. I used Topez Simplify to enhance the warm light and mist.Hope you enjoyNick
First light on the Railroad
Here's another image from yesterday morning. We met at the Strasburg railroad. The light from the day was just starting to light up the tracks. Also I liked the silhouette of the water tank. Hope you enjoyNick
Country Sunrise
Hello everyone, this morning I met up with Ed Heaton and did some farm shooting in Lancaster County. There was some area's of fog out all in all with the cool temperatures it made a nice day out. This shot was taken just as the sun was coming up over the horizon. I wished the hot air balloon was a little closer but I felt it added a little bit to what already is a nice scene.Hope you enjoyNick
Reflections
Hello Everyone, here's an image taken from a recent trip to Longwood. One of the things I looked for when shooting the water lilies are reflections. To better promote the subject. Also simplicity, there is nothing that takes your eye away from the subject. Hope you enjoyNick
Longwood #2
Another image from Longwood Gardens. I drifted away from the water lilies for a bit. I wasn't to happy with allot of the blossoms. Because of the direct sun and high temps. the blossoms were not very good. I did mess around with this group of cone flowers for a bit though
Hope you enjoy

Waterliley
Hello everyone, I met up with some friends at Longwood Gardens the other day. It was a good time catching up with some that I haven't seen in a while and meeting some new people. Here's my first image. I did alot of simple shots with a reflection this one seems to be one of my favorites.Hope you enjoyNick
Gladiola
Hello everyone here's an image from some of the Gladiola's that are blooming in the backyard. I liked how all the pollen stems are standing together. Hope you enjoy Nick
Red & Yellow
With these hot temperatures that we are having I spent most of this weekend trying to keep cool. I made a couple of floral arrangements from the flowers in the backyard and shot them inside. The first one I used a little buzz for a painting effect. Really makes the colors pop. The second one I set up for a long exposure. I moved my lens in and out of focus for a soft type of look. Hope you enjoyNick
Black & White
Every once and a while I'll shoot flowers in Black & White. I like the 'old school' feeling. Like it was taken back in the 1930s. But it was just today. Hope you enjoyNick
