The Road Not Taken
Robert Frosts poem “The Road Not Taken” has always resonated with me. It’s so true to if we blindly follow the paths of the multitude we may end up with the same results but if we blaze our own trail the outcomes are unlimited. I had a mental image of this picture in my mind by photographing a leaf with all its veins to represent the various roads or paths. Frosts quote was “paraphrased” from his original poem. Photographed in studio with a fixed mounted Nikon 7100 tethered to Helicon Remote and Helicon Focus Software for focus stacking purposes. (21) shots were taken at F8, ISO 100, 1/100th and stacked…

It’s fall at the castle.
I set up my tripod on the sidewalk at the south end of Hubbard Park’s pond aimed at the Castle waiting for the light. In short time it lit portions of the foliage beneath the Castle causing their beauty to speak to you. The shutter was snapped and yes I was lucky enough to catch that hawk circling the castle he was not added in later. Walter Hubbard, a local business magnate, donated all 1800 acres to the City of Meriden in 1900 with the one stipulation that the City could not reap any financial rewards from the towns folks and I think they’ve lived up to that commitment.

Quintessential New England
I was doing my usual thing looking for old barns in the northeast country side of Connecticut when I saw this house situated on a main road. It was Early October and the leaves were just starting to turn. The style of the house, the flag on the front, the hand crafted stone wall, it all said New England to me. Quintessential New England! I can smell the apple pies baking in the kitchen. Photographed with a Nikon D7100 and a Nikon 18-55 @ 55mm (in 35mm-82). 1/200th, f11, ISO 400, Aperture Priority.

Old man winter has arrived!
Winter is upon us. The day’s are short and nights are cold. All of us in CT have been blessed with a very warm start to winter during December but come January I’m sure temperatures will return to normal. This photo is of a local horse farm in Hamden, CT. Photo taken with Nikon D7100 and 15-88 zoom lens.

Reflections of fall
[wzslider height=”800″ lightbox=”true”] This is a shot of a fall leaf, (actually from a plant not a tree), on a black plexiglass base and background. The blue reflection you see is actually what the camera produced when the red/orange leaf reflected off the black. I did not use photoshop to change any colors
