Colorful Wings

I absolutely love the colorful wings on this butterfly.

Path through Brookside Gardens

Here is another shot from our recent trip to Brookside Gardens — but this one doesn’t have a butterfly in it!

Indian Ladder Falls

This was probably one of my favorite hikes of this past weekend. It was apparently somewhat of a local secret at some point in the past, but judging by the number of people we saw on the trail, it’s quite popular (and for good reason).

This was another photo that was greatly enhanced by the Cokin ND Filter. Without it, I never would have been able to get that milky, soft, water effect which I really like.

This last weekend, my wife and I ended up hiking to numerous falls around the Delaware Water Gap. We had a great time, and I got to play with my new Cokin neutral density filters. While I’m not quite done sorting all the images, this one stood out as one of my favorites.

For those who aren’t familiar with neutral density filters, Wikipedia has a pretty decent explanation. Essentially, the filter allows the shutter speed to be slowed down so even on sunny days, motion blur can be achieved — a must for waterfall photography! I’m still learning exactly how to use them and under what circumstances they work out the best, but this seems to give the desired affect!

Day 154 – Fragile Butterfly Wing

Mark Wood — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 11:31:16 +0000

Here’s another favorite from the butterfly house we visited over Memorial Day weekend. I didn’t notice the tattered wing until I looked at the photo later in Lightroom. They are very fragile creatures!

Day 153 – Butterfly Hanging On

Mark Wood — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 12:17:15 +0000

Over the Memorial Day weekend, we took a lovely trip down to the DC area to visit some old friends. While we were there, we had the chance to go out and visit Brookside Gardens and visit their Butterfly House. It was amazing — butterflies everywhere!

This little guy was hanging on with one leg to a flower petal.

Day 119 – London Shops

London Road

For some reason, I really like this photo. I’m not 100% certain why, but I think it has something to do with the fact that every time I look at it, it brings back memories of being there.

Day 99 – Buckingham Palace Gate

I’ve heard no trip to London is complete without a trip to Buckingham Palace. The whole thing is very ornate, and worthy of photos — especially the gate!
