I purchased a new D7200 2 years ago and love it. I didn't get to use it much the first year as I was taking care of my mother before she passed. Last summer, I was on the road in Indiana and stayed overnight in a B&B. The owner had the A/C cranked up and it was cold in the house. It felt...

(NOTE: I posted this over on the D7200 thread but thought I would also share it here. Hope you don't mind.) Here's a little change of pace. As organist/pianist at our church (Wesley United Methodist Church, Morgantown WV), I have days where I have several hours between rehearsals and...

As organist/pianist at our church (Wesley United Methodist Church, Morgantown WV), I have days where I have several hours between rehearsals and meetings. Last week, I had a long break so I took my camera in and climbed up into the bell tower to photograph the 14 bells of the carillon bells...

Way out of my comfort zone when it comes to photographing an airshow. I'm used to landscapes/travel with occasional wildlife. However, it's always good to try something new and challenging - taking photos with all of the fast action and noise going on. Plus, the distances required me to use the...

Signs o' the times. Read the fine print on this one.

Taken at sunset just south of Lexington Park, Patuxent River, Maryland. We stopped to eat and were walking into the restaurant when I spotted this seagull perched on a dock back-lit with the setting sun. The only way to get the light lined up with the gull was to climb up on a rickety old...

Sunrise at the mouth of the Patuxent River into the Chesapeake Bay, Maryland. For you Deep Purple fans from 1972 - Smoke on the Water. (Cold morning - a little fog) Fishing boat at the same location just a few minutes after sunrise. .

Here are some B/W photos from the New Centerville Farmers and Thrashers Jubilee on the previous post. I thought these would look better in B/W. Hope you agree. Note the "headlight" Hope you enjoy these. Thanks. Links to the jubilee: Farmers and Threshermens Jubilee | New...

Hope you don't mind me posting these. New Centerville Farmers and Thrashers Jubilee in southwest Pennsylvania in Sept 2018. (Held every year) I don't know much about the specific models and makes, but I am interested in machinery. Great place to visit and see (and HEAR and SMELL!) these old...

A few more from a car show in O'Fallon IL back in 2003. Taken with my trusty little Nikon Coolpix 800. Oldsmobile 442. Plymouth Duster 340 Remember this little guy? He had a car named after him. (See answer below) 1960 Chevrolet Impala Sadly, only one of these four companies...

I posted these earlier over on the "Hood Ornaments and Logos" thread, so I hope you don't mind me sharing them here. Sorry for lo-res. Taken in 2001 in Sembach, Germany with early Nikon Coolpix 800 digital. 1958 Porsche F218 Diesel Tractor. Slow Porsche or Fast Tractor?

Can you guess without looking at the next photo? Early '50s DeSoto resting (rusting) in peace on a 1-lane backroad in the mountains of West Virginia. Built from 1952-1954, the DeSoto PowerMaster featured a 251-ci Chrysler 6-Cylinder engine. It was available in 2-dr, 4-dr, and...

Fast tractor or slow Porsche??? From this 1958 Porsche F218 Tractor.... Sorry for the low quality - taken at medium resolution on Nikon Coolpix 800. Sembach, Germany in 2001. .

And for the pianists among us..... (I can totally relate to this one!) And, finally, I needed my son's help with this one....

Congratulations @hark. I love that photo.

Old lock on an old building in St Mary's, the first capital of Maryland. (Located about an hour Southeast of Washington DC) I thought it would be nicer in B/W.

These are pretty tame compared to the great photos that have been posted lately by others! We went to the Chesapeake Bay area of Maryland to visit our son and DIL. Stopped by the beach one morning for sunrise. Also visited some historical sites. Sunrise - cold morning and fog on the water...

One more that I missed uploading. We sometimes are busy looking at the "big picture" to see the beauty right under our nose. I know I'm guilty.

I've been pretty busy lately and finally found time to edit/post photos from the past month. I was out around West Virginia enjoying the fall colors (what little we had this year). Hope you enjoy the photos. Sunrise at Cooper's Rock - about 15 miles east of Morgantown WV. Beautiful...
