Built In 1886 - Day 131

ISO 400, f/8.0, 1/750th sec

 Many of the older buildings in eastern Connecticut have wonderful details to them. This particular building in downtown Putnam had some interesting brickwork and combined with the stone craving of the date the structure was built I knew it would make for a unique image. This is my 20th architecture image out of 100 I want to create. 

Pink Lady Slipper - Day 130

ISO 100, f/11, .7 sec

 When I was growing up here in Connecticut, I remember Pink Lady Slippers were one of my mother's favorite wildflowers. Though they were difficult to find we would always try to bring her home one when we were out in the woods behind our house. This brought back some nice memories as I photographed this one. This is my 10th flora image I have created so far.

Sun Breaking Through - Day 129

ISO 100, f/11, 1.0 sec

 Walking along a trail in the Brown Hill Marsh area I notice the fog starting to lift and the sun starting to break through to light up the scene. Though I don't do a lot of hiking this morning was one of the days I just wanted to get out. I was rewarded with this nice landscape image.  

Interrupted Fern - Day 128

ISO 100, f/11, 0.7 sec

 The early morning dew was still clinging to this Interrupted Fern when I took this photo. I love the repeating patterns of the fern leaves and the dew drops are such an added bonus to the image. This was another case where I was walking a trail but looking down not up. This is the 9th flora image I have created to date for the blog.

Lamp on Brick - Day 127

ISO 800, f/8.0, 1/125th sec

 Details and textures are what I love to display in my B&W images and this scene definitely has those elements. I chose a low and off centered view of this lamp to create a different point of view while adding some slight diagonal lines to the image as well. This is the 19th architecture image I have posted to date.
