My next adventure during out Poconos vacation was at Raymondskill Falls. These falls are the tallest within Pennsylvania and measure approximately four feet shorter than Niagara. This height can be deceiving though because the falls are broken up into three separate drops. The first two sections have easily accessible trails and the down hill portions include stairs…
This past week our family ventured up to Bushkill, PA – part of the Poconos. Bushkill has an approximate population of 7,500 with just over 46,000 total population for the entire Pike county. The Delaware Water Gap, a 70,000 acre national park, is partially located just north of where we stayed and is the home of…
I’m sure we all have taken a photo where it could have been better if a certain something wasn’t within the frame. However, if you know your way around Photoshop there is a pretty good chance you can eliminate those annoying elements to make sure the viewer is looking at what you, the photographer, intended.…
If you have read my previous post then you are aware that I again entered a Photo Scavenger Hunt. The hunt is open to 500 photographers of all skill levels who have around two months to come up with a photo for ten clues. The hunt is hosted on Google+ by Chyrsta Rae and this…
This past Saturday after waking up to feed the dogs I thought it may be a good morning to shoot the sunrise. I was up in plenty of time to make the drive across the river to York and shoot along the Susquehanna River. I did a quick check online to see how the cloud coverage…
The other day we had a heavy dose of early December snow here in Lancaster, PA. I took a stroll through the campus of Millersville University to capture some scenes of the winter wonderland that the students were enduring throughout their final exam week. One spot I made sure to visit was the swan pond.…
This past Sunday, October 27th, I made an early morning visit to the Great Falls National Park located in Virginia. The falls are able to be seen from both the Maryland side of the Potomac River but the Virginia is much more photogenic. I woke up around 4:00 AM and headed out hoping to arrive…
This past Monday, October 14th, I took a day off from work and made a trip up to Red Rock, PA and hiked through Ricketts Glen State Park. I haven’t been to the park since my childhood years when my family would take our pop-up camper to various locations throughout the Northeastern United States. I…
Today was a good day for me. The sunset gods were smiling down on South Central Pennsylvania and gave us a spectacular show. Luckily tonight I had a worthy scene to include with it. It all started when I picked up my son, Chase, from school around lunch time. He had a half day of…
This past Sunday I drove down to Holtwood, PA and visited Tucquan Glen. Tucquan Glen is one of near 30 preserves maintained by the Lancaster County Conservancy. There are three main trails, each slightly more than a mile long, that follow the Tucquan Creek from River Road to the Susquehanna River. The area is beautiful…
