Many years ago I lived in Lancaster County, PA. This is the heart of one of the largest Amish populations in the country, if not the largest. This Memorial day weekend we took a trip to re-visit the area. Here are a few photos. Hope you enjoy!

Love this series. I lived in Missouri for 4 years near an Amish community. Always admired them.

While these image all have the potential of being Great they all suffer lack of sharpness
I really hate to be a Party P***er but someone has to do it.

Thanks for looking. I appreciate your comment. Some were taken “on the fly” and admittedly may suffer lack of sharpness. But ALL?

As a person who lives within an Amish community. ( We were here first--they bought all the surrounding land and moved in complete with a school, community windmill/well--quantities of horses, buggies, children and dogs). I feel compelled to mention-- it is very difficult to get good images -- due to their resistance to personal images--- I resist---but remain thoughtful to their beliefs---

Kudos to you, and know that Lancaster is more used to tourists and cameras.........

Steve, Thanks for sharing your documentation of their simple life. Image 2 is my favorite.

I don't comment on images unless I think they have/had potential .
Yes Steve, Try the double download, they are really fuzzy.
May I ask what Camera/ lens, ISO and F stop?

I can download. I don't know what double download is.
All were shot with a canon 60D and Tamron 18-270.
All outdoor photos were shot at ISO 100.
F stops were between 6.3 and 9.
All between 160 and 200th second.
The "What's the Problem" shot was at 1/50 second. Admittedly very slow.
The indoor farmers market was shot at ISO 640. This is high for my camera, but it was very dim. Also shot at F5 and 1/50 second.

Numbers 9 and 10 were shot from a moving wagon. (We took the tourist ride!)
