Alan’s Potpourri of Photography

Nice shots, as always, Alan. You take the Coolpix to another level.

Thanks. My Dad always told me it not the tools, it how you use them.

Nice shots of the the river.
​
It's amazing how much wider the Susquehanna River is down your way. The last photo is Three-Mile Island nuclear power plant, if I'm not mistaken.

 

[Alan]

That is indeed TMI. I took the other shots from the dock the guys are fishing from. It varies but is about a mile wide from above Harrisburg down to the Mason Dixon Line. Here the river is about 3 to 5 feet deep. Downstream further it can get up to 50 feet deep.

Roses are Red, Violets are.........WAIT These roses aren't red, never mind!

Random Acts of Photography.....or a point and shoot opportunity. My grandson was here yesterday and his uncle was blowing up balloons and letting them fly. He decided he wanted to try to blow up a balloon too.

I can't believe the amount of wildlife around you and love the pictures you capture with your camera.

 

[Alan]

Thanks. I am glad you like my stuff. There is a lot of wildlife around here but I always think that others on here have so much more around them than I do. I guess "perception is reality". I always love when I am taking shots and someone stops and asks what I see. I am pretty sure they would have just walked on by and never seen what was around them. I guess the photographer in us allows us to see what others don't. And some of these are one and done shots as I have never seen that particular type of bird again. That's one of the reasons I have the Ansel Adams quote.

 

[Alan]

Guess that was not as tasty as he thought.

You really need to get your ducks in a row better.

That's because I didn't stay at a La Quinta last night.
