Beach Party...

 

 

 

Hey Everyone,

Hope your having a good start to your Monday. I know I am because I am on vacation again!!!

These photos were taken down at Beach Haven New Jersey located on Long Beach Island. My wife and inlaws were down all last week. I could not get off the entire week so I went down Wed and came back on Thursday. They came back Friday. It was tough to leave. Beautifull place and I could so relocate down there. While my son and nephews and nieces were napping, I wanted to walk around and get some shots of the area.

These three photos were taken on the side of a local grocery store down there. They had numerous photos of the early years of the town on the side of the building which was pretty cool.

For those of you that don't have any plans this weekend. Brian Bastinelli is having a stand over at the YorkFest Arts Festival where he is selling prints of his photographs. If you want GREAT photography, I would recommend going and checking out his work..

Have a great week everyone!!

Game Time...

 

 

 

 

Hey everyone,

Hope you all had a good week. Here are a few more shots from the Phils Game. Beautifull Ballpark. Phils did win 4-2 by the way.

Let me know what you guys think of the stadium employee leaning against the rail with the moon in the background. I was walking around the ballpark taking some different shots of things, trying to get some different angles when I looked up and happen to notice the gentleman standing there leaning up against the rail. I thought it looked pretty cool. I realize the moon is not as detailed as some of my other fellow bloggers shots, but I liked the end result.

What do you think???


Enjoy the weekend!!

Pre Game Ceromony...

 

 

 

 

Hey All,

Sorry for the late post. I just got back from the beach. Believe me I did not want to leave.
Here are some shots from the pregame at the ballgame. It was Robin Roberts Night where they retired his number and inducted him into the Phillies Hall Of Fame. It was pretty cool seeing alot of the ballplayers my dad talked about and seeing the ones I grew up with. For where I was sitting in the ballpark, I was up on the 400 level which is fairly close to nosebleed section. Alot of cropping went into the photos and I don't think they turned out too bad..


As always, please let me know what you think. That's how I improve in this business...


Stay Safe,

Woody

Getting Closer...

 

 

 

 

Hey Everyone,

Just got home from work so this will be quick. These are some more photos as we approached and arrived at the ballpark. First two photos were taken from 95 and the other 2 were taken at the main entrance to the ballpark.

Gotta love the Phantic...


Have a great day!! I am heading to the beach so I may not have anything for the next two days...

Stay Safe,

Woody

Heading To Philly...

Hey Everyone,

So for a Fathers Day Present, my wife booked me on a bus trip to see the Phils play at home at Citizens Bank. I have never been there before so I was looking forward to it. I did not have to worry about driving, so I had plently of time to relax and enjoy the ride.

When we got close to Philly and I could see the skyline, I decided to try and grab some photos while on the bus, while on 95 doing 60 mph. I don't think they came out too bad and I shot these first 3 photos manuel. Like I said earlier, I did alot of shooting manuel and also automatic, trying alot of stuff with the camera.


Let me know what you guys think....

Some more photos from Philly Tomorrow...


Enjoy the week...

Also, I want to say to Brian B that I hope your feeling soon pal and are not off work for long.

I do have to say one thing though, when the game ended. I got back to the bus and was sitting back relaxing, going through the photos on my camera. This 13 or 14 year old kid in front of me, whined the entire time about being stuck in the parking lot, why can't the bus driver get us out of here, we've been here for 30 minutes and are still in the parking lot, why dont the stupid policeman direct traffic the right way?!


Let me tell you, I was very close to going off on the kid, "Hey Einstein, when you have 40,000 vehicles trying to leave on space onto a 4 lane roadway, guess what?? THERES GONNA BE A TRAFFIC JAM!!!!

If I would have acted like that everytime I went to a ballgame with my dad..I'd got my butt kicked and that would have been the last time Dad took me to a game...


Oh well...


Stay Safe everyone...

The Capital

Hey All,

This will be another brief post as I need to get to bed since I am back to work tomorrow. Ugh..

Anyhow, These are some of the photos that I shot at the capital with my two nephews. They had a great time. You may recoginize one of the photos that is similar to a Bradley Myers Photo. I can assure you it's mine. : )

I had really liked that photo, the one Brad took, and when I have time, I plan on trying to recreate it in Photoshop to see how well or how close I can come to it.

Overall, It's been a pretty good week. Of course today, when I leave my wife's Aunts house to bring Wyatt back home. I had the scanner on and heard a box put out for a working shed fire. Well, long story short. The fire was directly behind my wifes aunts house and I was too far away at that point to turn around and try and get some photos. Oh well..

Saturday, I got to go to a Phillies Game. My lovely wife had booked me on a bus trip to a Phils Game as a Fathers Day Present. I shot almost 800 images at the ballgame. I'll be posting that later this week or maybe tomorrow. I've been spending my freetime going through and cropping, deleting...etc..


My wife had asked me why I took so many photos. Mainly because It was a cool ballpark, Beautifull View of the Philadelphia Skyline. I shot alot of photos manuel and also automatic, I was trying out alot of the features on the camera and gave it a good workout. Overall, for not having a zoom lens and being up in the nosebleed section, I think the photos came out well, but I'll let you be the judge of that. At the end of the 7th inning, I took a walk around the stadium checking things out.

Allright, time for bed...


Stay Safe,


Woody

The Reily...

 

 

 

 

Hey all,

This will be brief as I gotta hit the road here soon to meet up with Family. These were taken yesterday at the Reily Fire Station AKA the PA Fire Museum. If you have never been here, it is worth the trip up. Especially If you like fire service history. My nephews and son had a good time. Weather was decent in Harrisburg yesterday, had a few interesting encounters with some of the "locals" but that's for another time.

This week or next, I'll be posting some photos from the Capital as thats where we headed to next...


Have a great week!

Woody
