Since coming home from Panama, there hasn’t been much time for photography around my house. Between work and other things, the camera has mostly stayed in the bag. Once in a while I pulled it out for some quick portrait sessions. With a few new babies in the extended family, I had some extra work.
Today was a chance to get out with some friends and hang out at the drag strip where some raced their cars. Since I don’t own anything fast, I brought my camera.
My wife and I recently returned from a trip to a resort just outside of Panama City, Panama. While most of the trip was dedicated to relaxation, we did get out and take a boat ride on the canal to see the rainforest around Gamboa and some of the canal. It was a beautiful country and we hope to be able to return and explore more.
My family and I just returned from a few days in Florida to visit family. The break from the cold of winter was very welcome and the chance to relax was much needed. Even though the camera wasn’t out much, I managed to get some interesting shots.
Anyone that views my posts will notice that I’m a sucker for smooth waterfall photos. Anytime I see flowing water, I want to break out a tripod, screw an ND filter on my lens and slow that shutter speed way down. It may be cliche, it may be done to death, but a well composed waterfall shot with creamy water is just so tranquil and pleasing to look at. Below are my favorites that I’ve taken (no promises on the ‘well composed’ part) broken down by location.
This has to start of course with my favorite local hiking place, Ohiopyle State Park. I go there often since it’s a short distance away and offers so much variety. Between the colors in Autumn, the freeze in Winter, the flooding in Spring and the complete foliage in Summer, it always a bit different every time I go. First we have Ohiopyle in the Winter, since that is what we are experiencing now.
