05/31
Passing our neighbors on the way to town, Kookie so excited barked all the way in.

First pals we saw when we got to the top of the trail n asked em for a pic for our album #risingpark


 Really good shot, just a bit of sun flare hope they copy this one #risingpark



No sun flare just right :)  #risingpark



These guys let me capture a couple pics, they remembered me, the guy has a drone #risingpark



 Bunch of kids were interested  #risingpark



Sun n their eyes but a shot of a bunch of pals cept for the shy one hiding their head #risingpark



Girl on the bouncy band. I was gonna show em how to do it but ... well :) #risingpark


Guy doing a pic of his girlfriend on the balance thingy  #risingpark



Just trying to get a pic with out sun flare #risingpark



Weird clouds here but they went away in time for the sunset  #risingpark



Saw this guy with his pup so I did a candid shot #risingpark



About the best shot I could get, the sun coming in just right and his pup looking at the camera. A good doggy Kookie almost made a pal  #risingpark



Saw these guys n was gonna ask em if I could do a pic of them.. I never know what people but they asked me n so :)  #risingpark



Pals goofing off n I asked em if I could get a pic  #risingpark



 Just right wish I could go through a time warp #risingpark



Loyal Jeep waiting to take me n Kookie home  #risingpark



The sky was pink.. cold riding n with the top n doors off but had double clothes on  #risingpark

Had 2 go 2 the pill store so we stopped took some pics of some pals on MT p :-) #risingpark









05/24
FB pal drives past the fairgrounds and takes a pic of a guy taking pics of people on Mt. P. with a telephoto.
You can see how large they appear with a regular camera and the telephoto.
Mean time Kookie sits in back of the Jeep until it is her turn to jump out and romp around.

Seeing a lot of disappointments and people trying to do creative things, my imagination never stops and of course I am always thinking of things to do that include photography.
How about all the 2020 grads in Fairfield County having a pow wow on Mt. Pleasant?
What ever the safety rules are on the weekend of June 19th allows of course. The link goes into detail.
(Even if not Mt. P. try to meet up with other seniors that week)
Share this post with any grads you think might be froggy :)

Rainy day about to go to the dungeon in the basement to do my stuff, but b4
WHO WILL HELP THE LITTLE RED HEN
BUILD AN IMAGINARY OBSERVATION TOWER :)
Communities all over the world build them costing millions and live webcams. #risingpark
Here is the general concept 


05/17

I mounted the camera on top of the Jeep and plugged in the time lapse gadget. Driving around, it took a pic every 10 secs.. toooo many to edit :) 



I stopped over to the fairgrounds with the big tellly n took some random shots of the park dwellers on top #risingpark

I like to get a haircut in May so it grows out by my BD in June.
Was gonna get my kid to give me one but she didn't wanna chance giving me the virus.
In high school we always cut out own hair or each others.
I got froggy and started with the big guard but it wouldn't cut and the clippers stopped working, finally got it to work.. might be some spots I missed.. but won't get close to anyone for weeks .. my admirers won't see.
Other than becoming lumpy, you can also see how bone structure changes through the decades.
Kookie was helping me :)

When I need models n can't make it to the park, I can sometimes do a photo safari n my yard #lancasterohio


Shallow depth of field note the flower in front of my model and the background are a blur while the beautiful girl is not squinting in the subdued light #lancasterohio


Some of you guys might have to wear masks n I saw these. I thought you might wear a regular mask under with these funny face mask on top.



05/13
I saw these guys first n asked em for a pic. The guy knew who I was.. makes it easier #risingpark


On the way up I saw these guys n asked the girl to take off her sun glasses, she did but the light must have made her squint so I posted this one  #risingpark


Approaching the top there is this cliff where people sit sometimes. I know I can't get a good shot because shooting at the sky.. back lit.  #risingpark


I placed this up on the hand rail, hoping I won't get in trouble and no one destroys it but... #risingpark


 Guys passing a foot ball :) #risingpark


The sun in these guys eyes but it was a nice shot of a couple pals :)  #risingpark


These guys under a tree with light n shadows, thought it would be a disaster but came out pretty good :)  #risingpark


On the way back I saw these guys sitting on the edge n asked em for a pic  #risingpark


I saw these pals sitting just like this n asked em for a pic then got em to turn around again to record a candid view of pumpkins on a warm spring day  #risingpark


Saw some girls left this stuff n thought I would get a shot of tempting Kookie  #risingpark


Guy on a hammock hanging n space  #risingpark


Saw these guys.. a mom to be n really wanted to capture this for them #risingpark


This puppy wanted to play with Kookie so bad.. OH wish she could but  #risingpark


Saw these guys across the pond.. a pretty good shot hope someone knows them n tells them so they can copy it.  #risingpark


 Doing scenery I always like no clouds.. but there are sun beams and shadows peppered in the scene .. with the diffuse light  it is a decent shot.. then I could embellish it n pshop  #risingpark


Park closed to traffic, duh so I parked on the back side n walked up the path.. then when I got there, park open,, cars every where  #risingpark


Just had the 135mm but wanted to get some shots from the fair grounds.  #risingpark



The orange hammock .. got a pic of this guy when I was on top  #risingpark


Drab .. overcast but just wanted the iconic view  #risingpark


This is me n Kookie's studio. A wall she sits on and I stand below .. using the rest of my film :)  #risingpark

Before going to the torture dungeon .. peeking out the window n daydreaming about a sunshine day to take the Pup out n play :)
For a while a park dweller came to photograph .. maybe this year another :)





May 9th
Just saw a mirror shot and shared my how-to post.
Guess I will post it here for others who wander on my page.

Mirrors give a bit of distortion and lots are placed in bathrooms.

a) Place your full length mirror beside a window so when you look out the light is falling on your face.
Make sure the wall behind you is not cluttered ..

b)  When you want to take a pic of your mirror reflection do like the bear.. window light falling on your face, taking a pic of the mirror reflection.

c)  Mirror beside the window, you posing in the mirror BUT your camera on a tripod in the window.

d)  Time lapse, find a free time lapse app for your camera
hypothetical setting

Delay 10
Intv 15
Shots 7

Setting your camera on a tripod in the window pressing start
10 seconds to move to the position
15 Every 15 secs the camera would  take a pic
7  Take 7 shots of you in different poses
... just like having your personal photographer :)

May 6th

Me n Kookie on our walk around the path this morning n I spied this flower. After going in the house n thinking about it I went back out to get a pic of it.
Gonna tell all the nurses, vet girls n candy strippers this pic was for them :)
"Nurses day" you know .. we and those we love under their care we seldom notice.
They have to have a good heart and be tough to do that job.
This pic contains a story other than a pup n a flower ...




May 2nd
I saw these guys with their cat.. hmmm never got one of those on Mt P b4 :)
#risingpark


The first warm weather brings the park dwellers to swarm n take pics. There were lots of shots just like this one. #risingpark


 Never made it to the top of Mt P one day in April so after taking the top off the Jeep, I made this the official season #risingpark



 Saw these guys.. sooo many people sit out here gazing over our turf :) #risingpark


On the way down I saw this guy with his pup n asked em for a pic .. #risingpark
 Walking holding on Kookie got a shaky pic of the Jeep by the Buckeye house #risingpark


Yes Virginia you should use flash in broad daylight if you want great color saturation and sharp eyes #risingpark

May 1st
The couch kidnapped me yesterday n I slept or watched TV most of the day,
I finally got froggy and took the top off the Jeep for the season.. didn't go out of the yard.. sitting here looking at the big blue sky, might take a ride.
I hope to find some group doing a car wash.. n this year maybe having Kookie's hair cut for the summer.





No victims to take pics of n so... maybe take the top off the jeep   for the summer.
Lots of people still going on top of Mt P, parking at the fairgrounds.





Watching all those people who wanna get out n run around, me n Kookie r gonna paint the door post with blood n wait to see how many of em drop :)

April 18th
Beam me up Scotty.
Waiting on a comet to pass by to hitch a ride :)
If you have a photo you want worked on, facebook has a group called PHOTOSHOP REQUESTS!
I visit Mt P through Instagram .. they are still going but are not allowed to drive in the park last time I heard.
Just search for 'rising park' in Instagram and a bunch of links will pop up

If it will be a sunny afternoon I might take pics of people on top with my telephoto so if u see a guy, tripod n goofy dog in the fairground parking lot.. 




Haven't been to the park n a whole month, no pumpkins to photograph so me n Kooky had a tailgate party waiting for the sun to go down filtering through the tree tops.
Missing a short period in 2017 .. happy thoughts.
Waiting for a sunny day when you r allowed to go out n play.



April 7th

Wanna do some Mt P pics but not supposed to be around the humans
A fb pal said something about a pink moon so I went to the cornfield where I could see it.. but didnt look pink to me
