  • Columbus Day Photography

    I was lucky enough to have a free day to go out and do some shooting.

    The later Summer, early Autumn weather has been relatively warm, and no cold snaps to set the leaves into colors yet, but I was still going to go out.

    If anything, just to do some scouting.

    So off I went…

    I love having a GPS!

    After about an hour of just driving around, enjoying the beautiful scenery of the Morgantown, Churchtown and Honey Brook areas, I headed toward Hibernia Park to find the spot I had surveyed earlier in the Summer on another GPS drive.

    After parking in the small little lot, I equipped myself, crossed the bridge and down the trail to find a way to creek edge.

    What had caught my eye about this section before, was the bigger rocks and swifter water flow.

    I was hoping for more color in the canopy over the water, but it was not going to be…

    Even without the real reds and oranges of Fall, this part of the Brandywine presented many nice sections of water action, and found myself setting up and capturing several section during my creek walk.

    As I crawled across a fallen tree, I noticed out of the corner of my eye, a single small white mushroom, growing in the hollowed out root ball of one of the trees.

    Setting up my tripod for this shot, was very difficult because of the angle I needed to see into the stump, and having a stable platform to do the multiple shoots needed for HDR, but I think it was worth it.

  • Wonderful Blog Post by Kristin

    On Saturday morning, when I was checking my email, I received a delightful email from Kristin, who just started blogging on food and interior design, as she prepares for her relocation move to Texas with her husband.

    Kristin was so polite in her email, and was asking for permission to use one of my photography images in a post, and included the draft for me to review.

    After reading the draft, I immediately emailed her back, that I was delighted to have her consider any of my images, and she was free to use anyone she wished!

    Today, I got another email from Kristin thanking me, and that she had published “A Brilliant Downingtown Photographer: Andrew Seymour” to her website!

    Being human, I clicked on her link, and was transferred to her wonderful site, Silbury Hill, and was very pleased to see her final posting!

    Kristin is also using her site to help sell her home, so if you know of anyone in the market, check out her website for more details!

  • Dalai Lama on Man

    I just found this on the internet today…

    ‘Somebody once asked the Dalai Lama what surprises him most. This was his response:’

    Man, because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then he dies having never really lived.

    – Dalai Lama

    Need to remember…

  • Camera and Cops… Be Careful!

    I have been seeing more and more of these types of articles, so I decided to start keeping track of them:

    These along with others, should cause all those with a camera, to stop for a moment, and consider what you are capturing.

    Normally, my work does not include publicly published people without consent, but after reading about “Esthetic Value”, I have to think about some of my other work.

    Another thought, since I do HDR, I normally take several pictures, and the “Art” comes out later on the computer, but would that mean anything handcuffed in the back of a squad car?

    When I was doing my “Cloud Hunting“, I did notice a Police car slow down, and take a second look…

    More updates to follow…
