Boarded Door - Day 124

ISO 400, f/8.0, 1/125th sec

 Though once numerous, finding old factories in eastern Connecticut is becoming increasing more difficult. This boarded doorway is part of an old factory that was burned down a few years ago and only parts of the original structure remain.  This is the 17th out of 100 architecture images I want to create for the blog.

Crossing The River - Day 123

ISO 200, f/1.7, 1/2000th sec

 This drone image was taken in Windham of a train bridge crossing the Willimantic River. Though I was a little higher than I would like to have been, 225feet, I still like the overall view of this landscape. I was hoping for some clouds in the sky, but you have to work with what you have. This photo makes 123 days in a row I have posted to the blog which puts me at about a third of the way to my goal of posting daily for a year.

Faux Column & Update #2 - Day 122

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

 This brickwork is of a faux column on a building in Danielson. I particularly like the detail work on the top of the column. You can find details like this on most buildings if you take the time to look for them. This is the 16th architecture image I have created so far for the blog. 

Though I did not check off any items from my "Bucket List" this past month I have been making good progress on several of them. In particular I have been focusing on church and architecture images as of late. I hope to start a YouTube channel this coming month and open an online storefront as well. Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to visit my blog.

Fan Clubmoss - Day 121

ISO 400, f/11, 1/10th sec

 I really like the textures and patterns I found on this cluster of Fan Clubmoss on a short hike in Pachaug State Forest. It's always interesting on what you find when your really not looking for anything in general to photography. Though most people tend to look up and forward when walking in the woods I tend to be looking down. This is my 8th flora shot out of 1000 i want to capture.

Lowden Brook - Day 120

ISO 100, f/22, 0.3 sec

 Lowden Brook in Pachaug State Forest is one of those places I go back to photography time and time again. It's a very peaceful location that is easily accessible most time of the year. Plus the area surrounding the brook also offers some great nature and flora subjects as well. This is my 11th aquatic image I have captured.
