I spent a day in the New York Botanical Garden, Bronx, NY last weekend with the Sierra Photo NY group. We split up and went our own way and met up for lunch and dinner.
This first post in the series of four posts are photographs I either unsaturated parts of or made completely black and white.
I think we all love the colors of Autumn. Taken on the High Line Park in New York with my Samsung Note 10+. Marc’s captured (two at the end) his with a Samsung Galaxy 10+. These cell phone cameras keep getting better and better. I shot most of mine in RAW which gives more data in the lights to play with in Lightroom.
I went on a trip to Sam’s Point area in Minnewaska State Park, Cragsmoor, New York in the Shawangunk Mountains with a small group of Sierra Photo NYC members on October 10, 2019.
The weather was delightful and I enjoyed the trip very much. The Ice Caves are spectacular, but the trail is full of stairs and ladders up and downs and requires a lot of exertion.
The light entering into the crevices of the sedimentary conglomerate rocks makes some dramatic photographs.
It’s been a while since I posted some doors. As many of you know We went to Cape May last month. I love their Victorian houses. In addition to the historic tour by horse and buggy we had a tour of the Physick Estate. I didn’t include the pictures of the fabulous interior. I may do so on my next post.
We had a busy day on the 18th of September. First we went to Egg Island Fish and Wildlife Management Area in Cumberland County, NJ. Later on we took a Birding by Boat Tour of Cape May Harbor and Jarvis Sound.
