Frosty Sunrise

It has been a while since I have visited my blog, I apologize for that and am going to get back into the blogging again. This morning on my way home from work I could not resist stopping to photograph this amazing sunrise over a frosty field. With the time change and driving home at 7:00 in the morning I often get to witness the majesty of a sunrise. All the brilliant colors of the morning sun breaking through the cold dark night.



As always you can click on the photo to see a larger size.

Enjoy,

Morning Jewels

There is nothing like the morning dew on a spider web. The small droplets refracting the early morning light is amazing. I looked around for the weaver of this web but was unable find the spider.

2011 Worldwide Photowalk

This past Sunday I hosted a photo walk in Gallipolis, Ohio as part of the 4th Annual Worldwide Photowalk. We had a good time walking around downtown Gallipolis. I had a small group and I was able to provide some one one one instruction with each of the participants. So now to share some of my photos from the walk.

2011 Worldwide Photowalk

Sunday October 2, 2011 will be the 4th Annual Scott Kelby's Worldwide Photowalk. I will be hosting a walk in Gallipolis. Starting at 2:00 at the Gallipolis Band Stand we will start at the City Park and walk through downtown Gallipolis. This is open to photographers of all ages and skill levels. All you have to do is register for FREE at the Worldwide Photowalk Website. I will be providing limited instruction during the walk.

I have created a Flickr Group for you to share your pictures with other walkers. If you do not have a Flickr account it is free. Sharing is optional, but I will pick a winning photograph to be submitted for the Worldwide Grand Prize. If you have any questions e-mail me at chris@ohiohikerphotography.com.

New Framed Prints

I am excited to announce 4 new framed prints. These photographs are from my 365 Project and will be available at The Home Place in Gallipolis. These are printed on Fine Art Cotton Rag paper and float mounted. The pictures of these prints do not do them justice. Look for different prints to be available printed and framed like this.

The first is the sunflower print from a few weeks ago on Day 324.



The detail of the mounting can be seen in this picture. The print has torn edges and floats above the background. The mats also are spaced to create a shadow box.



The next print is of the full Moon rising. This photograph is from Day 219 on March 19, 2011 when the Moon was at its closest to the earth for the next 18 years.



Again this print is float mounted with the mat spaced to create a shadow box effect.



The next is from Day 2. This is one of my favorite pictures from the project.



The detail of the mounting can be seen below.



The last image I selected is a sunset one evening after a storm. This is from Day 274.



The detail can be seen below.



These are all framed in a smaller size. The first 3 prints are 5" x 7 1/2" framed to 8 1/2" x 11" and the sunset is a panoramic image and is 10 1/2" x 5" and framed to 13 1/2" x 8 1/2"

Off the Beaten Path

Friday I had to run some errands and decided to take a few back roads. The nice thing about being a paramedic is that I know most of the roads in the county. The sky had no haze and some light clouds so I thought I would make a few photographs along the way. I found an old log cabin at the fork in the road. A mile or so later, an abandon house. These images were just begging for a black and white conversion.
