When it's 60 degrees in February in North Central Pennsylvania, folks take advantage and grab an unaccustomed bite outdoors.
Yesterday was an unusually warm and bright day for February here in North Central Pennsylvania, so the dog and I hiked around a good sized pond up on the mountain. There was a small flock of Canadian Geese floating on one end and as I was watching, a couple of them started spashing water on each other and honking like crazy. Then several others joined in and it was like watching a bunch of kids playing and splashing eachother in a pool. They carried on like that for about 15 minutes, then they all went back to just floating around, enjoying the day.
Beautiful! I catch them in the early spring when they're moving through Central Pennsylvania. Never have seen a Snow Geese come this way.
I've a bunch of 35mm film cameras, but when I want to really enjoy photography, I switch to my Yashica MAT-124G TLR and 120 film. These were shot using Kodakcolor 200.
Taken a couple of weeks ago when the colors were in full force here in North Central Pennsylvania. Pentax LX/Cine400D/Tokina 28-105mm
Every fall for the last 3 years this male Heron has appeared and hung around the same spot on Spring Creek, which is a well known Central Pennsylvania Trout Stream. He stays in the same area until early spring, until it's time to mate. It's a nice area for him, since this part of the creek is catch and release only...not that he ever releases any. That and the hatchery is just down the creek a ways. He lets you get nice a close.
Just down the road from me. They host weddings etc. Minolta Maxxum9/Cine400D/Tokina 28-105mm.
It was a pleasure seeing this photo...great shot!!
It never ceases to amaze me how a certain time of the year, a certain time of the day, a certain angle of the sun can transfor a scene you've walked past a thousand times and never paid any notice until it all comes together.
I shoot with the Maxxum 9, in fact I'm using it at the moment, but I also like variety in my film cameras. I've a number of other Minolta, Pentax, Olympus, Konica cameras, both SLR and rangefinder, but the 3 I use the most are the Olympus XA(always in my camera bag), Minolta Maxxum 7, which is as capable as the 9, but much lighter, and my Pentax LX, which is the finest film camera I own and gets used the most. Since I also shoot Pentax DSLR's exclusively, I appreciate the ability to use most of Pentax's lenses, except the PLM types on both cameras.
Here in North Central Pennsylvania fall is moving along rather slowly. Up at this mountain lake though the Red Maples' growing close to the shoreline are brilliant.

I recently bought an Epson ET-2800 wireless and it come with an Epson Photo3 setting. I've printed out a number of 8.5x11 photos with it and quite frankly I like them better than the ones I've received from The Darkroom.
