One of my first and favorite shots I have taken at the Lancaster Hot Air Ballon Festival! I’m hoping at some point it is able to return!

Good morning!

Camera bags obey their own laws of physics.

Buy a small one and the lens you need won't fit.

Buy a large one and you'll fill every available compartment until you're carrying enough equipment to document a lunar landing.

The more useful question isn't “What might I need?”

It's “What am I actually going to photograph?”

Choosing equipment around a specific intention can make you faster, less tired and surprisingly more creative. A single lens can force you to solve compositions with your feet rather than another piece of glass.

Sometimes leaving equipment at home is a photographic decision rather than a compromise.

If you had to go out tomorrow with just one camera and one lens, what would you take?

I’m definitely the second!

I went out this morning, looking for good shots of my next competition, black and white photography! I missed the sunrise and not sure I really found what I wanted but here's what I found!

After 3 edits on every photo and I'm finally done editing my shots from the Duryea Hill Climb! There will be at least two posts. I captured shots of the practice round and shots of the first and second rounds. If any drivers would like pictures sent to them please let me know. Please email me at [email protected].

As I posted early this week, I got to attend the Duryea Hill Climb last Saturday in Reading, PA! I have some of the shots edited but I still have quite a few to go then, I need to tag everyone of them with my photo logo! I did want to share this one shot! The hill climb was a brand new learning adventure for me! One I'm hoping to continue next year! I'm hoping to be able to post all of my shots from there this weekend! For the time being, I hope this is a good teaser! Just a reminder, at this point, a lot of these vehicles are going in excess of 100mph!
