    Hop River State Park Trail Bridge, Andover CT

    In 2012 this beautiful foot bridge was installed to complete a major gap in the rails to trails walkway which runs from Manchester to Willimantic through Hop River State Park spanning Rt. 316 below. Before the bridge was in place most folks were forced to stop and turn around as there was no easy way to get to the other side. Not any more. PLEASE NOTE:  This image was digitally altered in the area the ground under the bridge for artistic quality. Photographed with Nikon D7100 and 18-55 zoom lens.

    Heritage Farm, Bolton CT

    Beautiful Heritage Farm Barn with it’s majestic silo sits hi atop the hillside in scenic Bolton CT.  I was quite a considerable distance away for this shot as they owned a lot of acreage around the barn and I’m limited to shooting from the roadside. I called on my Nikon 80-400 mm lens to get the reach I needed.  Remember one of the advantages of a cropped sensor, (compared to full frame sensor’s), is that you get the advantage of a multiplier.  This Nikon camera extends every lens by a multiplier of 1.5.  So basically instead of 400 mm I had a reach of 600 mm.  This allowed me to…

    Hillside Barn at Fish Family Farm, Bolton CT

    Fish Family Farm Creamery 20 Dimock Ln Bolton, Connecticut This barn is located at the entrance road of the Fish Family Farm.  I found it to be quite beautiful in its uniqueness.  Not only is it built into the hillside but it has a unique entrance.  Surrounded by beautiful tree’s on a winding road gives it added ambiance. Photographed with a Nikon D7100 and Nikon 18-55 mm @ 29 mm. 1/200th, f8, ISO 1600

    Spring Point Ledge Lighthouse, Maine

    Spring Point Ledge Lighthouse 2 Fort Rd, South Portland, ME 04106 Cheryl and I decided to spent a few days up in the Portland ME area this past September to photograph some lighthouses and take in the sights. Spring Point Ledge lighthouse is a beauty.  We caught a nice day for photography and there were few people there which allowed me to get the images I wanted.  If you’re into lighthouses this is one to see. Photographed with a Nikon D7100 and Nikon 80-400 mm telephoto lens, tripod mounted.  1/1250, F16, ISO 800 PHOTO TIPS: F 16 was used to get as much depth of field as possible without degrading…

    Bug Light Lighthouse, So. Portland ME

    Bug Light Lighthouse This lighthouse guides the ships into Portland Harbor which is right across the harbor to the left just out of view in this image.  It is situated in Bug Light Park in South Portland ME.  It’s a spacious park with a nice view of downtown Portland and is nestled in on the north and east side by the Atlantic Ocean. A great place to chill for a while, watch your kids play or maybe read a book. Cheryl enjoyed the serenity on the park bench while I did my thing with my Nikon.
