This has been a busy and fun week of photography for me. Locations include: Bear’s Den – New Salem, MA, MDC – Palmer, MA, and Point Judith – Narraganset, RI. The last 7 images were taken with the Sony NEX-5N, and while my hands didn’t like the zero degree weather, the 5N worked flawlessly. The panoramic feature worked nicely at the bowling alley.
Thanksgiving weekend started in western MA, including a visit to the peace pagoda in Leverett, MA, and finished in New York City with a visit to the newly opened section of the High Line Park.
We hosted Thanksgiving dinner at my house this year. It was our first time and our first turkey. The guest list included friends, family, and a 65lb bulldog named London.
I’m catching up on some old photos. These photos were taken in December 2010 when we toured a few of the amazing mansions in Newport, RI.
It’s been a while since I woke up before sunrise to do some photography. Today I made it to Peaked Mountain in Monson, MA both at sunrise and at sunset just in time for the moonrise. It was definitely worth getting up for and I plan on doing this as much as I can. I didn’t get a chance to wait for the moon to fully rise because my hands were completely numb forcing me to hike down the mountain. I used a 10 stop neutral density filter for the second shot to smooth out the clouds. The third and fourth photos below are HDRs of three images merged with Photoshop CS5.
Winter Romp Prerun - December 10-11, 2011. I forgot my camera bag at the office, but the iPhone 4S rescued me nicely. The trails were all in excellent shape with minimal trail maintenance. We were able to prerun all Winter Romp trails in two days. Thanks to Bruce for hosting us once again. Here’s a video of me on the Rock Crawling Trail.
