June 2019

Jun3 30th 2019

Didn't take the big telephoto today and hand held the zoom so a bit fuzzy, but if you were you were there u can copy your pic n tag yourself.

A bit hard to see what was going on so I zoomed in with pshop.. hoping these guys keep it.

Didnt talk to this guy.. might find it by accident.

Don't know if I talked to these two.

Best shot I got of em out on the rock tonight.

Just what it looks like with no zoom, so small but if you were there u can copy n give it a tag.

The best shot I got was when I got on top, this is a candid view of them when I first saw em.

Then I zoomed in n got em to look at the camera.

Just before leaving I saw this guy n a guitar n asked him if I could do a pic. :) 

Kookie got pets from 4 people then when we stopped at the gas station someone else gave her some pets..

JUNE 25TH

These kids wanted to give Kookie some pets and so I tied her up so she couldn't Jump on em, then being friendly I asked em if they wanted a pic of all of em together.

When I first approached the end, just did this candid shot. 

.Next I thought, how about a shot with the city in the background...
While talking to em, I think she said they were visiting from California.. so many people bring friends n visiting relatives here to share our magic mountain.

The electricity went out this morning, didnt do the exercises because I need music n cant be in the dark basement.. so to Lowes to get some window stuff then to the park

After doing pics for the family I saw these guys and thought, might let me photograph em... 

A little after noon, I always do a shot wrong for a lesson..
Light behind brighter.. NOTICE shadows eyes not visible

My magic spot, post 32, subjects on the other side of the rail, me standing higher to capture the scene below, and fill in flash.. no shadows, eyes visible.. ta da :)

The clouds better n this one but I like the one above bestus.

Next I went for a full length shot. Flash has a rapid fall off and it is useless at this distance in the day time. Couldn't bring em out of the shadows.. but a pic of young pups being pals on Mt P :)

Jun 21

Had to leave Kookie home so when I got back I went n to do some pics, started at the fairgrounds then went on top.

I got to take pics for a couple people with their cameras.. tried to scout out victims er models for my safari.. just a guess but got lucky.

These guys molded for me had to adjust the contrast, sun dancing on their hair looked like fire.

zzzzzzzzzz

Much to do about nothing :)

I must b a swami.. just as I said, they would make a big event of the lighting then after that no one would pay any attention to it.

They had the lights on tonight and no one was in the fairgrounds or along the street looking at the lit face from mt p.

The early pics they took must have been enhanced because it was very dull from the fairgrounds 

As I said light has a very rapid fall off at distance, I drove over to the other side of the fairgrounds and there was not enough light for the camera to focus, drove over to the dairy queen down the street and it would not even appear in my viewfinder

I drove around and could hardly find a place where it was visible..

On the other hand.. no one looking at the face of mt p.. when I walked up there were 27 people on top in about an hours time. I took their pics from the fairgrounds and with their camera I took pics for 3 people.. pals

Didnt get up in time to catch the sunset but did capture the orange sky

Here is what I wrote before I saw it lit for my self

Finally got a sunset w me n Kookie, had to work on it a bit.. left her slobber on my pants. Should have used the timer so I could have hidden the remote.. hybrid pic but was there June 11, 2019 .. better when a pumpkin came n let me pop the pics.. when talking to strangers.. never know if they wanna play.

Norman Rockwell hmmm

People think of the guy as a painter, but he began with photographs and worked from them.

I have no artist talents but the scenes on Mt P hold the essence.

Using the normal lens w 3x pics of people are very small.. top left, but when I got on top these guys said I could do a close up, bottom right.

As I looked around I saw another couple I would have asked but others started talking to me..

To me Mt P is like a movie, I imagine what people are thinking, what is going on in their lives and capture the moment.

Capturing a pic from the fairgrounds and a close up.. wanted to get such a pic for a long time.. bingo

People who let me play photographer n pet Kookie in spite of being attacked..

These guys came n on cycles n I asked them first

Suppose to be a pic with Kookie too but she attacked the guy with slobbers n wrestled him.. it was so hard to pull her away. When she finds someone she really likes for some reason, she is a terror.

Couldnt get a pic of Kookie with the kids so I had to settle with this one

These guys were in the perfect spot on the edge and the orange glow of the sun was perfect..I experimented but the first one I took was the bestus
I captured the couple behind em from the fairgrounds too, but didnt get to ask em for a pic ..

On the end these guys wanted to give Kookie pets, I warned em wild again.. but they didnt mind

I took a pic of these guys w their camera n they told me I could do some w mine

had to goof with the contrast to pull out the background

zzzzzzz

zzzzzzzzzzz

Overcast but wanted to take Kookie a ride n come home n do the elliptical.
A typical night for pups in Lancaster Ohio.
Took a few pics then went and bought some pizza gift cards for graduation.
Got an extra, one kid when I dropped it off they were having a cook out but he graduated last year.. duh.. but it was his mom's bd n I said I meant it to be a bd gift .. duh me #risingpark

Just before I left I asked these guys if I could take their candid pic.

Mt Pleasant in Rising Park

Had go to town and did not know how long I would be in the meeting..

 Kookie came out running all over the yard excited to go n I had to make her stay home in the kennel.. so when I got home I took her to the park.
Overcast no color saturation and I was there early, didn't see any potential chipmunks to add to the photo album but I did see these guys goofing off so I did a candid of em. Cropped a bunch, backlit not good quality but capturing kids at play.

Reminded me of TheMick .. but don't see her head popping up the tail any more:(
I did get to take a pic of a mom n her kids. I try to tell people about flash but phone cameras are not powerful.. any way got a couple for her.
