Glad you could stop by. We live in Springville but lived on West Tillen in Boston before that. We frequent Sprauge Brook a lot in the summer on mountain bikes. Thanks for looking.

A warm January day in Western New York

Thank you for looking. These kinds of days in January are unusual her but certainly a nice change of pace. 2 Weeks go we had 3ft of snow in the yard :-/.

A warm January day in Western New York

Time to get out and do anything with the camera has been slim lately but when you get an almost 60 degree day in Western New York in the middle of January you make time LOL. Managed to do a few miles in Sprauge Brook park in Southern Erie county today. Thanks for looking.

55-300 or 70-300 lens for Nikon; new, refurbished, off-brand?

I have the Tamron 70-300SP-VC and am very happy with it. It is also on a D7100 and is significantly sharper than my friends Nikon 70-300VR when you get past 200mm. I would highly recommend it. I personally would go for the 70-300 from either company because they are Full Frame. This would allow a move to FF in the future without replacing this lens.

Excellent work, I love 1 and 3 the most, but all three are beautiful and bravo to you for asking permission from the land owner. Few would have done that.

Thanks for the comments. The whirlpool was a pleasant surprise I had not expected.

Like you I always ask before shooting, haven't been turned down yet.

I have been driving by this spot for many years but it was hidden by trees along the rod. They recently trimmed those trees and I noticed the tunnel and small falls. The wife and I made a trip over yesterday so I could try some shots. The landowner was very appreciative of me asking for permission before just tromping through his woods :-). I know that some would have proffered crisp water over this effect. My personal tastes (in most cases) are how you see it. Thanks for looking.
