Fall Rain

I know that a day like today in the Maryland area, the first thoughts are to stay dry and warm.

For me it was to grab an umbrella and the camera. When I took the dog for a walk this morning I could see some possible images. Around noon I put the camera on a tripod and out I went.

The fall colors on a sunny day and always pretty, but I find the colors in the rain interesting. The drops on flowers, drops hanging from leaves, the leaves on the ground and even the neighbor's driveway.

So keep the camera handy, even in bad weather there are images to capture.

Fall Festival

On Saturdays, we like to do family outings and last week was no different as we attended Mount Airy Fall Festival.
I used to have to shoot the event for a newspaper I used to work for. It was great to take in the event and not have a deadline.
You may be wondering, what did he have to shot at a festival?
First and foremost are images of family members. It is a great chance to shoot children enjoying themselves, plus at times a look of surprises.
At the festival I shot images of things I saw, that maybe others didn't see. The street is reflected in Christmas balls on a tree, chrome of a motorcycle and a fish in a bowl. Speaking of reflections, there was a man playing dulcimer and he was reflected in a store window. It was a good exercise in seeing images.
