Cows....

Hey everyone,

Hope you all are doing well. These were taken from a very recent visit to Chocolate World in Hershey PA. We took Wyatt as he enjoys the ride that shows how the chocolate is made, but he really loves the singing cows.

Have a great week!

Station 48....

Hey Everyone,

I took Wyatt up to Chocolate World in Hershey on Friday. On the way home, he saw Hershey FD's ladder truck parked on the ramp and was pointing and wanted to stop. Hey, my boy likes ladder trucks what can I say...

So we pulled in and the top photo is of Wyatt posing in front of the tower and the second shot is of Hersheys new engine, Engine 48-1. The crew was getting everything ready for the Dauphin Convention the next day. One of these days, I will get something else on here besides fire stuff. Just have not had a chance to really get out and shoot stuff..


Have a great day!

Aerial View Of Hershey...

Hey everyone,

I know I said this was going to be a week of photoshop. After playing around with this photo for awhile, I decided that it would be best left untouched except with some minor color adjustment, sharpening etc...

This was taken from the Hershey Kissing Tower. This first photo is looking east towards the factory and part of the town. The Nikon did not too bad as I was not sure how it would work with shooting inside. I was happy with the overall results.


Hope your having a great week!!

More from the boardwalk...

Day 3 of photoshop week, this is a different part of the same water ride. Major cropping was done to alot of the photos. I cropped in to what I thought was the best parts or coolest to look at...

Thanks for the feedback so far, keep it coming!!

Boardwalk at Hershey...

Hey everyone,

Day 2 of photoshop week. These photos were taken just this past Saturday at HersheyPark. The county held it's annual picnic up there this year. So I decided to go up for the day. Out of the 5/12-6 hours, I was there, I only got on two rides and both were roller coasters. I really wanted to get on a few of the water rides since thats what I enjoy the most, but the lines were just nuts and I refused to stand in line for an hour to wait for a locker to secure my things(camera included) I had the camera with me, so I had fun just walking around shooting things.

This is in the Boardwalk section of Hershey, they have two very large buckets in some water ride contraption, not really sure what it was. Once they fill, they tip and dump the water down onto you.


Let me just say, that people watching up there is almost as enjoyable at times. There were some rather interesting folks up there thats for sure.

Hope you all are having a great week. I want to say thanks also to Brad Myers and HFD60 for their feedback yesterday. That is what I am looking for, so please feel free to comment and not hold back..


Stay Safe,

Woody

More From ChocolateTown...

Hi All,

This will be brief as I don't have a whole lot to say, mainly because I'm tired and it was one of those days at work..


This is a shot taken between Chocolate World and The main entrance to Hershey Park. This is the lighthouse that once sat in the pool area which at one time If I remember correctly, was just for Hershey Park Employees and then it was for the regular public. I believe the pool also was in this area of the park.

I have a history book on HersheyPark, I will look this up and post any corrected info.

With that said, I hope you all have a great weekend and feel free to leave any comments at all on these or any of the photographs I've taken, that are posted here.

The only way I can improve and get better is by your feedback...


Stay Safe All,

Woody

More Hershey...

Hi All,

This will be brief as I need to get to bed. More Pictures from Hershey.

The first one is a side view of Wyatt, we were sitting on a park bench in Tudor Square and I was checking something with the camera when I looked up and saw him like this, so I quickly snapped a shot off before I lost it..I think he's checking out a pretty blonde that was walking by us...


The second one was at the top of the entrance to Chocolate World. I spent about 30 minutes doing some photoshop work. I usually never have a game plan in mind when I work on a photo. For me, it's basically trial and error and I just keep trying stuff till I see something I like.

Hope everyones week is going well so far...Feel free to leave any comments/suggestions...


Stay Safe,

Sweetest Place On Earth....

Hey Everyone,

So today I decided to do a road trip with Wyatt and give Lisa a peacefull afternoon to herself, Hey, everyone needs some downtime now and then you know??

Today, I decided to take Wyatt to Chocolate World. I thought we could walk around, do the ride that shows how everything is made, and I thought Wyatt would like that...


Well, I was wrong...As soon as we got into the car and got into the first tunnel, boy he was not a happy camper..As soon as we were done and off the ride, he was fine.

Afterwards, we walked around for abit and I took just some random shots of things and some of Wyatt. After Chocolate World, We went up to Hershey Gardens where they have a large open field with great views of the park since it's up on the hill and your looking down, Wyatt had a wee bit of trouble keeping his balance but he was a real trooper. All in all, it was a good way to start the week..

I was trying to think of some ways I could do some post processing of the photos but I'm just having a mental block I guess. Long weekend at work and I've been battling a cold so far(I know, freaking summer and I catch a cold?!)

If anyone has any suggestions or what you think of the photos, Please feel free to leave them, especially on the 4th one of Wyatt. That was the first time I shot a photo manuel...

Hope to hear from anyone..

Stay Safe All,

Woody...
