Halloween has come and gone, but I had to share this one from the parade.

Unpopular opinion, perhaps... but sometimes I find that creative lenses limit my creativity. And, an evening with the 50mm is just what I need.

#photographer #womenstreetphotographers #canon
Double exposure of the local fire company marching in the Halloween parade. The bottom of the frame is full of red, yellow, and white bokeh from the fire trucks' blazing lights. The top of the frame shows the fire engine driving away, a Hershey Kiss and 46 visible on the truck.

Had to share this one from a few weeks ago... Windy long exposure shot from my hotel balcony as a Nor'easter was approaching OCNJ.

#photography #OCNJ #longexposure #canon
Long exposure image of a fishing pier extending out into the ocean. It's a windy night, so the American flag whipping around in the wind. The pier is lit with alternating yellow and blue lights that create starbursts in the image. The blurry ocean waves are just visible under the pier.

Buzz buzz...

This guy was much more interested in the lavender than me, thankfully. One day I will learn to use a longer focal length for insects. LOL!

#photography #womenstreetphotographers #canon
"Street" image from OCNJ beach. Two lifeguards sit in a lifeguard chair that reads "Watch Your Children" across the roof. In front of them is a large, white rescue lifeboat reading "Ocean City NJ". In front of the boat is a boy, dressed in blue with a blue baseball hat playing in the sand with a blue bucket. A man in red white and blue flat shorts and a white sleeveless shirt stands beside him, watching the boy intently.

Small break from art show prep to get a few shots in the rain.

It's raining today, but tomorrow looks lovely. If you're in the Hershey area, be sure to check out Hershey ArtFest from 9-4 at the Englewood!

Photo walk through Hershey last night... Sadly, not too many of these old street signs are left.

#photographer #photography #canon #hersheypa
Black and white image of old street signs in downtown Hershey, PA. The top sign reads E Granada Ave and the cross street below reads Cocoa Avenue. The post is a bit rusted and the signs lean a bit. Tree branches are in soft focus in the background.

This tree reminds me of something out of the Lorax... If the EPA isn't going to speak for the trees anymore, this is my subtle reminder to myself to step it up.
