"Blur"- Day 29

Blurring either the forefront or background of photos is a skill I am working on, and was the reason I purchased my last lens. To say I want to upgrade lenses is an understatement, but unfortunately it isn't a priority financially. Until then, I will play and practice and build a portfolio. I would love to take a class, in my spare time :/...until then, it is a lot of trial and error and reading online.

Day 28- "Autumnal Dawn"

Yes, I am going ahead, but trust me, by mid-week I will be behind. I really should call it "Prompt #" vs. "Day #!" 

Day 26- "Crescendo"

If a crescendo is a gradual increase in intensity, then I can say that many of the trees I got to photograph at Watkins Glen were reaching theirs.

"Clear"- Day 23

I will probably use every opportunity to go back to my incredible few hours in Watkins Glen...

Day 21- "Otherwordly"

I was happy to see that Watkins Glen State Park made it to a recent list of "Places in America You Need to See Before You Die." I totally agree, words and pictures can't begin  to describe the feeling you get, like you are hunting for the crystal skull. At one point if you go on the right path and take a little side path up you all of a sudden come up to an unexpected cemetery, so beautiful. It is one of those that has uniqueness vs. every headstone looking the same. It just enhanced the experience and contributed to the overwhelming otherworldly feeling you get when hiking the gorge.

"Texture" - Day 16

Watkins Glen State Park, NY...could have spent days here learning to take photos!
