What I Did On
My Summer Vacations
Ok,...I've been kicking around
ideas for a web page but I was having trouble coming up with a scheme.
It was my wife that inadvertently gave me the idea for this page. Her suggestion
was to do a page that featured my photography work. I'm an amateur photographer
at best but people have told me that my shots are really quite good. All
the images below are click able to be viewed full size. For those of you
that might find interest in this,....all these photos were shot with a
very old [1980] Nikon EM 35 mm SLR using Nikon 50 mm and 100 mm lens
,.......oh and a "cheapo deluxe" Vivitar 70-150 mm zoom lens. If
you like what you see here feel free to download and save any of the images.
I've purposely sized all the horizontal shots to 800x600 so they make for
easy wall papers. If you have trouble converting them to .bmp format for
use as Windows wallpaper please email and I'll convert them for you. I
know this page is extremely weak from a html coding stand point but it's
been quite a while since I first scratched a page upon the cave walls of
the internet and a lot has changed.
These shots were taken in the White
Mountains of New Hampshire.
Most of the waterfalls are in "The
Flume" which is a naturally formed gorge.
I don't know what happened to the
image [above left] but I had already uploaded it before I realized the
obvious flaw at the bottom, kinda looks like mist rising up doesn't it.
The image [above right] was taken at the top of the gorge, after hiking
through the gorge we picked up a brochure there is a photo in the brochure
of this particular fall that looks identical to the one I shot.
Ok,..the image [above left] is a fairly
good representation of the gorge itself. If you look at the walkway on
the left you start to think that it's going downhill when in fact it's
actually going uphill. If you look at the flow of the water it's obviously
flowing towards you. The image above left is unremarkable other than the
pool that the fall drops in to is very enticing. Swimming is unfortunately
not allowed. Bummer.
Look closely on the bridge and you'll
see my wife's hand around my son's waist.
That's his head above the top rail
and her hand above the second rail. As a rule I try not
to include people in my photos unless
they are in some way contributing to the overall composition.
The image [above left] is not in the
Flume gorge this is one of two cascades that
you can view from Rt.304. The image
[above right] is part of the gorge hike and again
that pool that the little fall drops
into was 100' in diameter and approximately
20' deep with a 70' sheer rock cliff
on the right hand side just out of the frame.
If you've just stumbled upon this
page it was by pure chance becuase it's still under construction and I
haven't told a soul about it yet,...so no critiques until it's done.
