Featured in Rural America November 1, 2008. / Featured in A Beautiful Blur October 3, 2008. Taken 9/20/08 on top of Blue Knob in Claysburg, Bedford County, PA. My camera is a Nikon D40x, and I was using my 18-135mm lens. Other than a bit of sharpening and the removal of the distracting arm of a snowmaker, it’s as the camera’s lens saw it.

When we arrived at the mountain on Friday afternoon, the temperatures were hovering at slightly above freezing and the icing on the trees and the roads was trying to decide if it wanted to refreeze or not. The winds came up … and the power to the cabin was out. It was going to be a c-c-c-coooold night if the power company couldn’t get up the mountain!! But we underestimated Valley Rural Electric … those brave darlings had our power back on within a short while, and life was good. For about 2 hours. Then just as my son was arriving and driving down our road there was a POP and a blinding flash and we were again plunged into darkness. The powerful power guys were back on the scene quickly and by the time we got back to the house after having dinner out, the electric was back and stayed back. Saturday was windy and gray with a little snow toward evening. Sunday morning broke bright and beautiful, as you see it!!! I hope you enjoy our view!!!! Now, go grab some hot cocoa (drinking chocolate to our British friends), crank up this tune … then come back and enjoy the rest of my winter-wonderland!!!!! TransSiberian Orchestra Taken from the deck at our ski cabin on Blue Knob in Claysburg PA December 21, 2008. I was using the Nikon D40x with the 18-135mm lens and the polarizer. Only levels and some shadows and highlights touched.

Featured in the group Nirvana January 16, 2009. Image taken with the Nikon D40x, using the 18-200mm VR Nikkor lens and the cp filter on January 3, 2009. This shot was taken along 689, near Osterburg PA. I used PhotoMatix to create this HDR image. Sweet, Sweet Surrender “Lost and alone on some forgotten highway / Travelled by many remembered by few / Lookin’ for something that I can believe in / Lookin’ for something that I’d like to do with my life There’s nothin’ behind me and nothin’ that ties me / To somethin’ that might have been true yesterday / Tomorrow is open and right now it seems to be more / Than enough to just be there today And I don’t know what the future is holdin’ in store / I don’t know where I’m goin’, I’m not sure where i’ve been / There’s a spirit that guides me, a light that shines for me / My life is worth the livin’, don’t need to see the end Sweet, sweet surrender / Live, live without care / Like a fish in the water / Like a bird in the air” John Denver Sweet Surrender Driving through the countryside Saturday, January 3rd, I deliberately took a wrong turn and passed by this beautiful farm. The words to John Denver’s song, one of my all-time favorites, filled my heart. Click on the link to listen … then come back and visit with me a bit!!!

The snow last weekend was almost continual but light … creating an amazing, fantasy land of subtle color and soft light. As I shot this particular image, the sun was just appearing across the lake on the trees in the distance. It played hide and seek the whole time I was out. Fortunately, the winds were calm … so the branches were filled with snow. Image taken Tuesday, January 20, 2009 with the Nikon D40x, using the 18-200mm VR lens, with cp filter in Claysburg, PA … Blue Knob Mountain. Companion Piece Here Comes The Sun /

Best Viewed Full Size I found this barn along Route 30 between Breezewood and Bedford in PA. When I first saw it only a couple of years ago, parts were still being used for hay storage. But when I drove past recently, March 15, 2009, it was clear I was looking at something that won’t be around much longer. I don’t know the history, but directly across the road had been a very interesting, 2-story log house that is gone now, as well. Only the brick fireplaces and a pile of rubble remain. Image taken with the Nikon D40x using the 18-200mm vr Nikon lens, handheld. This is a composite image … I used a threatening sky that I shot in my backyard at the end of March, ‘09. Post processed for the sky composite addition, then, using a single image which I duplicated twice at 2 +/- eval in Photoshop, I created the hdr in Photomatix. Back to Photoshop for some more clean up work. All together, probably about 7 layers.

Featured in Sets of Two September 3, 2009. / Featured in Old Things – 2 per day August 6 2009. / Featured in Rural Around The Globe July 31, 2009. Best Viewed On Full Size It’s got that “Nobody’s Home” look … Back in the day when we wanted to visit, we tightened up our pincurls, tied our robes tight, slipped into our slippers, grabbed our coffee and walked next door. Although this wonderful old abandoned farm house is stuck out in the middle of (apparent) nowhere … it’s right smack dab ON route 30 just a bit west of Chambersburg, PA … and I like to think that the farm wives did visit back and forth, too. Image taken with the Nikon D300 and the 18-200mm vr Nikon lens on a bright and sunny, blue-skied July 12, 2009. Shutter 1/640, aperture f/11.0, exp -.33, iso 500. Post included Phun With Photoshop, levels, dodging, burning, selective coloring, in other words, the works, then addition of textures.

Featured in Friends of Bangor and North Down Camera Club, Northern Ireland August 23, 2009. Best Viewed Full Size This little image is only one of nearly 400 (yes, I discovered the rapid fire thingie on the new camera over the weekend) I took of these most amazing creatures. It means the world to me that I was able to play with them as I’ve never seen a Monarch in our garden in Maryland. The “lawn” to the cabin next to ours on Blue Knob Mountain in Claysburg Pennsylvania has been left uncut all summer … and the most incredible wild vegetation has grown up. One is this pretty purple flowered stalk … which happen to be very much beloved by the Monarch Butterflies. Image taken with the Nikon D300 and the 70-300mm vr Nikon lens at shutter speed 1/160, aperture f/10.0, exp 0.00, iso 800. Focal length 220mm.

Featured in Best From Around the Barnyard September 12, 2009. / Featured in Image Writing (2/24) September 12, 2009. / Featured in ! #1 Artists of Redbubble! September 8, 2009. Best on Full Size A summer cornfield along Route 869 between Osterburg and Pavia, Pennsylvania. This image is actually fairly deceptive. I spent a lot of time working on a b&w sky and doing sc on the world below in order to create a somewhat threatening summer thunderstorm image. It fit as the world you see here, all sunny and golden, is actually thanks to the texture I eventually chose. In all reality, just as I took my last shot and headed back to the car big giant ploppy drops of rain began to fall … and those pretty clouds you see there Opened Up!!! LOL Image taken August 8, 2008 with the Nikon D40x and the 18-135mm Nikon lens. I was inspired by a beautiful image from Svetlana Sewel called Road To … to resurrect this one from the pile and play a bit. It was treated with HDR in Photomatix from 5 images, all from a single handheld, at evals of +/-2. The texture added is courtesy of Princess of Shadows at Deviant Art. I also cropped a bit of the sky.

Best on Full Size As we leave the top of Blue Knob mountain heading toward Claysburg my eye is always taken by this beautiful farm between Pavia and Claysburg on State Forest Highway (3003). On this particular day, May 23, 2009, the clouds were outdoing themselves. Had to pull over and get this snap. I got a kick out of all the poofy dandelions happily propagating away in the foreground and trying to compete with the poofy clouds!! Taken with the Nikon D40x with the 18-200mm vr Nikon lens at 1/320 shutter and f/5.6 aperture. Exposure was set at minus .33 and iso was 200. Post processing included hdr from a single hand-held image duplicated twice to an eval of +/- 2 then run through Photomatix. Gave the old clone tool a workout as this beautiful scene is marred by a giant telephone pole and lots and lots of wires!!!

Featured in Metallic Junction October 20, 2009. / Winner of the “Metal Antiques” challenge in Metallic Junktion group October 11, 2009. / Featured in Metallic Junktion October 3, 2009. / Third Place in the “Metal In The Kitchen” challenge in Metallic Junktion group October 2, 2009. / Featured in Cottage Style September 30, 2009. / Featured in Nostalgic Art and Photography September 28, 2009. / Featured in Image Writing September 26, 2009. / Featured in Still Life Photography September 26, 2009. / Featured in Passionate About Vintage September 26, 2009. Best on Full Size This little copper kettle was on an ancient wood stove, located in one of the log cabins at Old Bedford Village in Bedford, PA. One of the interesting things about this wonderful village is the buildings and accessories are authentic to their time periods. It is my understanding that the homes and barns and churches are not reproductions, but are actual, once-working structures that have been moved to Old Bedford Village . Image taken wih the Nikon D300 and the 18-200mm vr Nikon lens. Shutter speed 1/10, aperture f/13.0, exp. -.33, iso 1000. No flash, natural light. Post processing included the addition of three textures in Photoshop, a light Orton technique and dodging and burning. Textures courtesy of Princess of Shadows at Deviant Art and Ghostbones on Flickr.

Best Viewed Larger This lovely old cabin is one of the first structures visitors see when they arrive at Old Bedford Village, a Living History Museum, in Bedford, PA. Many of the structures here are original to the general area. When their useful lives were over they were torn down and reconstructed on the site. Others are reproductions, meticulously crafted to represent their original counterparts. Image taken on October 17, 2009 with the Nikon D300 and the 18-200mm vr Nikon lens, uv and cp filters attached. Shutter 1/320, aperture f/9.0, exp -.33, iso 250. Post processing included some work in levels and a hint of warm filter in Photoshop.

Best Viewed Larger This beautiful road is one of my favorite parts of the drive to our cabin in Pennsylvania. To the right is Chappell Field, a part of Blue Knob State Park on the extension of Pavia Road (4035), and is frequently the site of fairs and concerts and happy picnickers. Over my shoulder and between the trees is a magnificent view of the valley which I’ve tried to capture over and over again … one of these days I’ll get it right. Image taken on October 11, 2009 with the Nikon D300 and the 18-200mm vr Nikon lens. UV and CP filters attached. Shutter 1/320, f/9.0, exp. 0.00, iso 1600. Post processing work included hdr in Photomatix from a single hand-held image at +/- 2 created in Photoshop. Other tweakings included deletion of a hideous flat white cloud, area filled with blue and addition of fluffy clouds (thank you Obsidian Dawn for the cloud brushes) in Photoshop, plus the addition of two textures … thank you to Princess of Shadows at Deviant Art. Also available Texture Free /

Best on Full Size This image was taken at the same time on October 10, 2009, and in relatively the same spot as Almost Home but I was turned in the other direction, looking back the way I’d come. This area is within the Blue Knob State Park in Pavia, Pennsylvania on the extension of Pavia Road (4035). Image taken with the Nikon D300 and the 18-200m vr Nikon lens, hand held. Shutter 1/400, aperture f/10.0, exp. 0.00, iso 1,000. Duplicates created in Photoshop to an eval of +3, +1 and -3 and processed in Photomatix Pro for hdr, then returned to Photoshop for the addition of two textures and some tweaking. My thanks to Princess of Shadows at Deviant Art for the textures.
