Fires running the roof...

Hey everyone,

This will be brief as I need to get back to bed for a few hours. This is another photo from the fire the other night. This was a very difficult fire as the fire extended into the roof which had multiple layers. Which means that the roof has been built up over the original roof with layers and is VERY difficult to cut and makes it tough to extinguish.

Have a great day!!

It's a job...

Hey everyone,

I was on my way home last night from photographing a drill when I hear on my scanner on the police band, a police officer call out he has heavy fire in the building and to get the FD out asap. Well, that perked my attention. So I pulled over and listened for the dispatch. As soon as the dispatch was made, I was only 5 minutes away. I arrived right before the first due engine. The fire was at a business just outside of East Petersburg. I shot about 120 photos before I called it a night.

This photo is of Rohrerstown Fire Company, Truck 6-7 operating on the backside of the business.

Have a great week everyone!!

Oh and I wanted to say congrats to Brian Bastinelli. For those that do not know. Brian was contacted by Mpix to have some of photos displayed at a national conference in Boston which is quite a honor.

So Brian, from someone who has admired your work and strives to get my photos as good as yours, Congrats!!

Overhaul and Wrapping Up....

Hey Everyone..

This photo was taken towards the beginning of the month. It was taken in Harrisburg as crews were wrapping up from a working fire in the 3rd floor of a restaurant located right in downtown Harrisburg in restaurant row.(If you ever get the chance to visit, many good restaurants to choose from)


This is a shot of Tower 3. One of the 3 truck companies that protect the capital city. Of course, they wish they could be as good as the men from the uptown truck, Tower 2(Had to throw that in there for my HBG friends)

This was a very cold night. I was walking back to my vehicle when I noticed the Fulton Bank highrise in the background behind the truck and thought it would be a cool shot to take. If I get the chance, I may be venturing up to Harrisburg again this weekend for the annual ST Pattys Day Parade(Brad, any good places to sit?? any places to avoid??)

Have a great week!!

I'm back...

Hey Everyone...

I am back!

This will be brief as I just got home from work. This is another shot of Wyatt at City Island. I was waiting for the right "pose" so to speak before I took the photo. This was about the 10th photo in a row that I shot of him. He would look at the camera then turn away, or close his eyes or tilt his head down. Of course he was laughing the whole time which is the most important to me. That my little boy was happy...


Have a great week!!

Reflection...

Hey everyone,

I had some free time from packing so I decided to post todays photo. Wyatt and I took a trip up to Harrisburg on Saturday. We visited the fire museum and then we went over to City Island for a little bit. It was a beautifull weekend and we wanted to try and take advantage of it.

Wyatt was standing on a bench overlooking the Susquehanna River and looking at the skyline. I was standing behind him making an adjustment with my camera and I happened to look through the viewfinder and well, this was the end result. I don't know what it was other then my gut telling me that would make a great photo.

I wish I knew what goes on in that little mind of his. He was laughing and smiling while he was there on his little perch just enjoying the day. I can't wait untill he starts to talk, I'm sure he will have alot to say..

I added some new filters to Photoshop, so I hope you like the post processing...


This is moving week for me. I have tried to get to everyone's blog at least once. Even If I did not comment, I was there..

So once things settle down, I will be back to a regular posting schedule...


Have a great week!!

Woody

I'm back for the moment...

Hey everyone..

I hope you all have been well. In the busytime of packing and doing everything else while trying to move. I did have just a little downtime and I wanted to get your feedback on this.

The other day I went to Borders and bought Photoshop User Magazine. In that I read an article about poorman's HDR and how to create an HDR photo.

So I decided to attempt it and see what I could do. What you see is the result.

I've attached the original and the one I did in photoshop.

The image I worked on, I think is ok but I don't think I was able to get it quite to where I wanted it.

Sooo...I would love any feedback from the people much smarter at this stuff then I am..

Please feel free to leave anytype of feedback..Good or Bad...

Have a great week folks and I'll be back fulltime soon!!
