Long Pond R&R

The Long Pond Trail at Grafton Lakes State Park is a great workout compared to my other regular hikes. There isn't as much elevation change as some of the others but there are a lot of roots and rocks which require using different muscle groups. 

I created a project gallery with 46 photos from this morning's hike you can view here. Here are some samples.

Two New Projects

Projects let me have a focus (no pun intended) when I'm just out with a camera. Some are gear focused, some are location focused, some are technique focused.

When I switched website hosts last spring, I started over with much of the content, including the archived projects. A link to the folder which contains the project galleries is located on the sidebar.

Two current projects are photos at f/2.8 with the 28-70mm zoom lens and vertical (portrait) orientation photos with the 35mm lens. Here are some recent photos from each.

Life Goes On

I suppose. Even in a fascist country. 

It's very possible that the majority of my focus in the future will shift back to state parks and other locations going forward. We'll see come spring.

This morning there was a brief period of sun between rain and total overcast skies. I had a quick walk around Peebles Island State Park in that period. I carried the newer of the two EOS R8 bodies and the 35mm lens.
