Winters Moening Fog

I woke upSaturday to here the sound of foghorns on the Hudson River here in the Town of Athens. So I grabbed the camera and headed down to the shores of the Hudson Riverto get some winter fog images.

First Snow Coating

December 1st here in the Town of Athens brought us our first blanket of white, or should I say sheet of white since is a very light snow fall. Here a few images I took during a short drive around the area Saturday morning. 

Early Morning Find

This is a great time of year for taking photographs, the cool mornings provide for fog rising of the water bodies. This past weekend I took a drive down long the Hudson River here in Greene County to find this boat anchored in a small cove. I will be going back to this location and work this subject more prior to owners pulling it out of the water for the winter.

Micro 4/3 Imaging

I have had Olympus Micro 4/3 Pen camera system for over a year now but never used it that much. Lately I have been back making images and now using the Pen system more. Here are a few images taken over the last few weeks with the Olympus Pen EP-2 and the kit 14-42mm lens. I have always loved the Hasselblad square format that the nice thing with the Pen system you can set it up to shoot square format images.

PS Even though Copy Right stamp says 2011 they where taken in 2012

Tropical Storm Irene, Greene County NY

Tropical Storm Irene hit Greene County NY hard a few weeks ago. This past weekend and the weekend before I ventured out to see the damage Irene left behind in Greene County, New York. Here in the Hudson Valley we had some bad flooding but nothing like what the damage it left behind in the Catskill Mountain region.

People are now in the recovery/rebuilding stage but based on what I saw it is going to take many helping hands and donations.I have created two images galleries of photos I took in my travels thru the mountain top region of Greene County, NY.

Lighthouse Cafe Sanibel Island Florida

The Hudson-Athens Lighthouse will be hanging on the wall at the Lighthouse Cafe in Sanibel Island, Florida. Sister Mary of St. Patrick Church here in Athens was in Sanibel Island for vacation and she stopped in the Lighthouse Cafe and Commented that the Village of Athens had a wonderful lighthouse back in New York. It was then when the owner told her that if she sent him a framed photo he would display it in the Cafe. Sister Mary arrived back home here in New York and asked me if I would do up a image of the Hudson-Athens Lighthouse so she could get it sent down to Lighthouse Cafe.

Below is the image that I produced and will be hanging shortly in the Lighthouse Cafe. So if you are in Florida and near Sanibel Island be sure to stop by the Lighthouse Cafe and see our wonderful lighthouse.

Digital Multi Exposure

This is two exposures first in focus and second thrown out of focus.

This is four exposures focuses on four different depths of the flowers.

One of the things I like about the Nikon digital cameras is that they can actually do multiple exposures on a single digital frame. Here are two images that are multiple exposure images from the Nikon D700 camera.

More Lens Baby Images

I got out early this morning to make some images before breakfast. These are some of the images I did with my Lens Baby composer lens.
