Faux Column & Update #2 - Day 122

ISO 400, f/8.0, 1/750th sec

 This brickwork is of a faux column on a building in Danielson. I particularly like the detail work on the top of the column. You can find details like this on most buildings if you take the time to look for them. This is the 16th architecture image I have created so far for the blog. 

Though I did not check off any items from my "Bucket List" this past month I have been making good progress on several of them. In particular I have been focusing on church and architecture images as of late. I hope to start a YouTube channel this coming month and open an online storefront as well. Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to visit my blog.

Fan Clubmoss - Day 121

ISO 400, f/11, 1/10th sec

 I really like the textures and patterns I found on this cluster of Fan Clubmoss on a short hike in Pachaug State Forest. It's always interesting on what you find when your really not looking for anything in general to photography. Though most people tend to look up and forward when walking in the woods I tend to be looking down. This is my 8th flora shot out of 1000 i want to capture. 

Lowden Brook - Day 120

ISO 100, f/22, 0.3 sec

 Lowden Brook in Pachaug State Forest is one of those places I go back to photography time and time again. It's a very peaceful location that is easily accessible most time of the year. Plus the area surrounding the brook also offers some great nature and flora subjects as well. This is my 11th aquatic image I have captured.

Saints Thomas & Anne Steeple - Day 119

ISO 400, f/11, 1/1000th sec

   I used the roof lines as a framing tool to help focus attention on the steeple for the Saints Thomas and Anne church in Voluntown. They also provided good leading lines in the composition as well. The clouds provided a very nice background too. This is the 28th church I have captured in eastern Connecticut out of 100. 

Dandelion - Day 118

ISO 400, f/11, 1/250th sec

 This image is of a Dandelion in full bloom a few days before it starts the process of changing to a puff ball of seed pods that will blow off in the slightest breeze. Believe it or not, dandelions are edible. The leaves can be used in a salad or cooked like spinach. You can also make a tea or wine out of dandelions as well. This is the 7th flora image I have posted to date.
