Trip to the mill

Been quite a while since my last posting! I've been quite busy with a new job and such, and haven't had much time for photography. But lately I've somewhat re-kindled my interest in the subject, as a means to escape the daily grind I suppose. Here's a set from a recent trip to Newlin Grist Mill, a fascinating place not far from home.

Did I mention my finace is a goofball? This is really I shot I took just because I like the way the afternoon light fell on the trail.

Nikon D70 w/28-90mm, 1/125 @ F11, ISO 400. I used multiple curves adjustments in Photoshop to bring out the texture in the path and darken the corners a bit.

Monkey In A Tree

Ok, so not a real monkey... :-) Snapped this while out on an afternoon hike. More to come later.
both images: D70 w/ 28-90mm lens @ 45mm. 1/250 @ F8, ISO 400.

Christmas I

Exposure: D70 w/ 50mm 1.8, 1/30 @ F4.0, ISO 800.
Adjustments: Some curves and processing with NeatImage.
This is the first of some Christmas photos I'll be posting over the next few days.

Sunset in Green Lane

Took this shot on my way home from seeing Kathleen Connelly's photos in upper Bucks County. If anyone hasn't seen them yet, I highly recommend it! Check out her site too. www.durhamtownship.com.

Evening Light

I caught this one after a storm had blown through and the light got just magnificent. Now if only I didn't live in a development!

Exposure data: 1/200 @ F7.1, ISO 200. Nikon D70 w/ Nikkor 18-70 DX lens @ 18mm.

Covered Bridge

These two are actually the same shot, just processed differently. The top one has some Gaussian blur overlayed, the bottom does not.
I can't really decide which one I like better, so I posted them both!

Exposure: 1/4 @ F11, ISO 200. D70 w/ 18-70 DX lens.
