Yesterday morning I made the trek down to Peace Valley Park in Bucks County, PA. It is clearly one of my favorite places to shoot. The day and the wether were perfect!
A couple of weeks ago I photographed the Red Mill in Clinton, NJ. I have seen many images from here, but I never checked it out myself. I now know why this is such a popular spot. The first image is a more conventional shot of the mill that I shot with my OM-D E-M1 with the 7-14mm lens. The second one, however, was shot from the other side of the river with the waterproof TG-850. The reason I mention this is because I made this shot with the camera being about 50% under water. I was able to do this because of the 180 degree flip LCD screen. To the best of my knowledge, this is the only underwater camera with a flip screen.
I am very honored and proud to have been asked to join the Olympus Visionary program. This is an amazing group of talented photographers. As many of you know, I have been a strong Olympus advocate for 10+ years. Please check out my link on the Visionary page Click Here
Yesterday I took my usual Saturday morning hike down in the Lehigh Parkway and was greeted with the first dose of spring. Finally! I also had the opportunity to enjoy my new Olympus OM-D E-M10 with the ultra compact electric wide zoom M.Zuiko 14-42mm f3.5-5.6 lens. I can tell you this mini combo is quite the powerhouse. It was as easy to use as it was to carry.
A couple of weeks ago I had the opportunity to be traveling close to Asheville, NC. So I took the opportunity to visit an amazing place, The Biltmore Estate. The main house and primary attraction was built between 1889 & 1895 by George Washington Vanderbilt. Back in the day it was the largest house in the USA at 178,926 square feet. As a photographer, the only disappointment was, they don’t allow any photography inside. But, there are plenty of images to be had outside and around the many grounds and gardens.
