Photos of the City of Philadelphia and The Super Moon

Saturday, I was out taking photos. I took many throughout Philadelphia. We went around the city and stopped at several places where I took some shots. We went by The Betsy Ross House, The Graff House were The Declaration of Independence was written and The Philadelphia Museum of Art. We also went to Belmont Plateau. There we saw the Super moon. I need more practice with nighttime photography but still got some interesting shots.

The Weekend is Here

It's the weekend. For some it will be hectic with so much to do or places to go. Just remember to take some time to enjoy the time and be sure to relax. Sometimes you need to slow done and take a deep breath. You can do something that you enjoy. If there's time go to a park, go for walk, read what interest you or watch a movie. 

Thanks for reading my blog. Have an interesting weekend.

Weekend

We got some free time this weekend. Friday we were with friends in Rittenhouse Square in Philadelphia. I took some photos while we were out and about it. Here is poster of one of them for sale. http://www.zazzle.com/bicycles_photo_poster-228151360056074009?rf=238423181208756833

Saturday, we went to Peace Valley Park and got a flat tire. Eventually, we took a walk around the park. I took some photos of the lake and we lucked out and came across a heron. I took several photos of the bird who just kept siting by the lake. I managed to get some close-ups too.

Tall Ships In Philadelphia

On Friday, I went to Penn's Landing in Philadelphia to see the Tall Ships. They were there for this weekend and also they were in Camden , NJ. I opted to only walk around since I was alone when I went. There were around six ships or so on the Philly side. You could see some interesting people dressed up there too.

Graduation Time

It'a now graduation time. It's when the student leaves a former way of life and begins a new one. Some will go on to college, start a new career or a new life. It is both exciting and frightening at the same time. Good luck to all and may things go well for all of those graduating.
This is something a grad might want to wear on there cap:

Photography

Well, this weekend will be somewhat hard to fit things in. Such is life I guess. I am hoping to get some time to fit in some photography. You know practice makes perfect. Looking at videos on YouTube has helped me to understand more things about taking pictures. Now, if only I can remember the some things so I can try them out. I really need to get out of the auto mode of the camera and get into the manual mode. Shooting at night turned out pretty cool. I'd like to try some more of that among others. These were done with using a long expose. These shots were of traffic along the highway at night while in the passenger seat of a moving car.This is without a tripod, so they didn't turn out as expected but they were still interesting.

The Sun is Shining

The sun is shinning. There is a nice cool breeze flowing. I opened up the windows to air out the place. The cats were happy with that and sat on the windowsill. This should be a good weekend to capture images of the Cherry Blossom Trees. I was thinking of taking some shots during the day and trying some at night.
