9/30/2022 - First Stop, Old Forge

After our overnight, we decided to just go for a drive.  Our first stop on this drive was in Old Forge to walk around the Old Forge Hardware & Furniture store.  It is an amazing place with a lot of things you can't find other places.  Again, I apparently wasn't paying attention to the ISO...

9/29/2022 - Glimmerglass State Park

Some additional views from Glimmerglass State Park as we spent some time waiting until we could check-in to the hotel.  We were quite surprised with finding the covered bridge and seeing it's history!

9/29/2022 - Shelly at Glimmerglass State Park

We had some time to kill before we could check in to our hotel so we went to check out this park.  Very nice place but I think we were there a week too early for the leaves.  I did get a couple of nice pictures of my beautiful wife.  Not sure why I had the ISO so high though...

As a side note, this is my first editing using ACDSee instead of Photoshop.  Just looking to eliminate the subscription model.

2/12/2023 - A Walk in the Woods at My In-Laws

Following the new "it is my blog ad I'll do what I want" mantra, I decided this is the correct time to post something, today are the services for my late father in-law.  My in-laws have an old farm (been in my father in-law's family since the late 1800's) so I got out for a little walk through the woods.  No location as this is private property.  There are quite a few pictures as I found a lot of interesting things along the way and it was the first real use of my 55-250mm lens.

I hope that someone may be able to identify the farm equipment and the birds...

9/18/2022 - Sunrise over the Jeep

I don't often get outside to catch the sunrise, but I was meeting a friend for a round of golf at the Links at Caughdenoy Creek.  After seeing this now, I wish I would have walked around the Jeep to get a panorama.  Can't change that, but I still think this was a beautiful view.

Site Notes: This course was, at one point, the farm my wife's aunt and uncle owned and operated.

9/3/2022 - Seneca Mills Falls

Another example of a place I need to return to.  On the long exposure, I had to do some serious editing because it was severely overexposed.  I think it still came out fairly well.  I was going to use the sky replacement feature in Photoshop but I thought it gave it a really fake look.  I decided that since it was a fairly overcast day (see the first photo), it wasn't really worth it.

8/20/2022 - Fillmore Glenn State Park

Checked out a state park that I was not aware existed.  Actually quite a beautiful little area.  I do need to get back since I've learned so much about the camera and photography in general.  I don't recall why I took so few pictures with the Canon though.  Very limited accessibility here as you may expect of something that follows a gorge.

Parking Location: ///rooster.percentages.tower

Site Notes: Beautiful walk, perfect for a hot day as the gorge is cool from all the shade.

Camera: Google Pixel 6

Notes: They block off the creek to make a swimming area.
