Had to drop some papers at a doctors office n go to the pill store. A bit cold but just right for walking up the trail

After getting the pills, first time I stopped saw these guys on the way up. #risingpark

#risingpark

#risingpark

Tried a bit of different lighting and the flash softened the shadow under these guys hat #risingpark

On the way down I saw this crew n thought it would be a good pic #risingpark

2nd trip .. just a shot at a bunch of park dwellers waiting on the sunset #risingpark

Thee guys on the edge. I couldnt stand out in mid air so this was the best I could do removing shadows from their faces #risingpark

Guys down on the rock with bright sun n shadows. Flash does no good at this distance #risingpark

No one to practice on so   #risingpark

Here I did good I knew if I took a pic with the city below there would be subflare n a fuzzy pic and I know this time of day the sun tints faces yellow to a deep orange #risingpark

I saw these girls n their cute puppy, washed in the glow of sunset :) #risingpark

I was setup in case I saw any of the yoga girls. This one is good enough my mug didnt show so I kept it #risingpark

A couple other pics of these girls hat lots better lighting but one of em had her eyes closed so I did this one. They were taking lots of pics so I know they got their own good ones. #risingpark

Just before leaving this guy came up n I asked him if I could do a pic of him n his puppy.. had to get the pups attention :) #risingpark

3/27/2020

Such a nice day I decided to take the top off the Jeep for the season.. (did a time laps shoot too)

After finished I did a pic of me n Kookie bright light made me squint so I flipped sides and added flash to take my mug out of the shadow.. soft focus to avoid the evidence of my age. :)
#risingpark

First pic with me n Kookie with the top of the jeep 2021 #risingpark

Kookie was squiring wild when this girl made over her.

I saw TheMick pull in with her pumpkins didnt wanna bug her but it tickles me to see her #risingpark

I asked these pals if I could capture their pic for my photo safari #risingpark

I took these guys photos many moons ago and Ethan came up tonight and did a facetime with Joey (kid on the right) now in NC. #risingpark

Joey is a church guy n his girlfriend I met here too. If you like Christian music here is his Instagram page

Ethan n pals who came up tonight just as the sun was going down. It has improved over the years when people know me . #risingpark

I asked these pumpkins for a pic :) #risingpark

After sunset there seems to be a 'white period' in the sky but a bet later it becomes dark red.

Their little puppy was hopping around animated like a cartoon :)  #risingpark

Took a couple pics of these pals down on the rock #risingpark

Girl giving Kookie some pets :) #risingpark

The sky was beginning to make the transition n I asked these guys for a pic #risingpark

Candid pic of friends talking in the background #risingpark

Saw this guy on his phone and the moon coming up behind n did a candid n told him in case he wanted a copy #risingpark

The sky starting to be colorful #risingpark

This girl was swaying around.. cool silhouette  #risingpark

Telling em about flash, when the background is lighter with out flash.. silhoutte. Too bright Casper the ghost. The right amount of flash at sunset a pretty nice shot #risingpark

I couldnt get their camera to work n they let me use mine. Thinking of other tech but too late when I thought of it. I saw the big moon going down the trail, I wished there was someone I could have did a moon shot. #risingpark

Often see little round things on the ground :) 

Riding home with the top off the jeep n stars in the sky n promises of another season :)#risingpark

3/25/2021

Had to get my last shot so Kookie n me stopped at Mt. P. saw these guys n did a candid on the way back I asked em if I could do a couple of em using their camera n told em about my flash ideas.
.. was afraid to go after the weather guy story :)

#risingpark

Documenting the evidence just b4 me n Kookie got our last shot n headed for Mt. P.
With out glasses I can't see the adjustments on the dsc-v3 (first digital camera I ever owned). Small n handy not too afraid of breaking it.

Just b4 we headed over to #risingpark.

3/24/2021

First pic of the night I saw these guys n thought it was a candid image then did a posed shot. Might pshop another version

#risingpark

The wind blowing hair in their eyes so I turned em around.. couldnt get out of the way with my shadow. #risingpark

With the bright background I had to use pshop to bring em out #risingpark

Couldn't get the city in the background too bright so I turned em to see their mugs :) #risingpark

#risingpark

#risingpark

Little dog with a muzzle :) I made a squeaky noise to make em look at me #risingpark

Guy taking a pic of his girl :) #risingpark

Far away. TheMick took my pic. #rising park

Best shot of the yoga girl but another pumpkin in the pic. I might work on this one for a profile pic #risingpark

Here is the yoga girl's page. If you r near Lancaster you can join em.. Kookie's pal :)

Kookie getting pets from some boys #risingpark

I like to take pics of groups. Some of em kept my pics and kept em for years :) #risingpark

Zumba girl n her drum .. need to crop her out n make a composite #risingpark

Last park dwellers I captured on the way down. #risingpark

3/21/2021

I got lucky tonight and captured a couple super pics. Of course you are welcome to copy em.. that is what I hope for.

When pics are uploaded to social media they are reduced in resolution. If you would like to have an enlargement made I can send the original to walmart, walgreen where ever.. no cost.

Using the time lapse, got to use it on a fb pal that came up. I like em better than the ones I took :)

#risingpark

Got to do this family but the little girl just wouldn't have her pic taken .. oh well 

#risingpark

These guys were out on the rock n I got em to come back for a pic.. Pup wasn't looking until I made a goofy noise 

#risingpark

#risingpark

I got several great shots of these guys hard to chose the best one #risingpark

Kookie getting some pets #risingpark

#risingpark

Girl sitting on the rail n her guy .. first Shallotte this year  #risingpark

Should have fiddled with the lighting I can photoshop it a bit if these guys find it #risingpark

These guys shooting into the sun with their cellphone cameras when it was still bright I flipped em around so the orange glow fell on em.. no sun flare #risingpark

These guys were sitting on the rock n I asked em to come up to the rail #risingpark

Down on the rock on the far end #risingpark

Just as I was setting up the time lapse along came a fb pal. #risingpark

I carried every thing up, got there in time set up the time lapse n couldn't figure what was wrong.. I forgot to plug it into the camera.. duh #risingpark

3/10/2021

Just feet hanging out of a hammock 

#risingpark

#risingpark

Best sunset pic tonight #risingpark

These guy were taking pics too. #risingpark

#risingpark

#risingpark

Nice mug shot, not no reflection from the flash #risingpark

#risingpark

#risingpark

A good guy wanted to pet Kookie n they had a wrestling match :) #risingpark

Just before going down I saw these guys. Didnt think the flash would be powerful enough but it sure was #risingpark

Had to get some lab work so me n Kookie stopped at Mt. P. and on the way we saw these guys n asked for a pic.

Sky hazy and the background fuzzy but we gotta capture some pups n Kookie attacked em :)

Feel free to copy any pic. If there is a good one you can have it printed. I have the full resolution image for enlargements.
I do not have an internet phone so it is a bit of work to post pics to Instagram .. so I just post a few there

Clicking on pics enlarges em

First nice day, warm enough Kookie could ride in the truck. Makes her so happy she barks all the way to town. Stopped n got the truck washed first. On the way to #risingpark

 Park full of puppies n a guy driving a three wheeler :)

#risingpark

 On the way up I saw these guys doing a pic and thought a better pic for em would be with them being pals #risingpark

 These two cute puppies followed us up the trail #risingpark

 One of the favorite pics, feet dangling over the edge. 

#risingpark

 Saw these guys n asked em for a pic. I had the girl put her glasses on top of her head to avoid reflection and make her eyes visible. 

#risingpark

 I guessed these kids would be a good shot and on the way back had em pose for me.

#risingpark

 Should have ask the girl to remove her sun glasses.. but .. 

#risingpark

 These guys knew me, I guess I took their pic last year . I am not sure when people know Kookie. We have over 1500 fb pals . I tell people if I took their pic b4, scratch their ear and I will know :)

The guy let this little pup get to know Kookie. I was kind of afraid but they got along ok :)

#risingpark

 

It took 5 pics to get a good one the boy on the left finally got used to sitting on the rail #risingpark

 

Instead of capturing the shot at sunset, lots of time it is better the sky will get dark read and produce a super pic 

#risingpark

 Super windy and this girl's hair was flying.. didnt think I would get a good show but after a few this one was nice 

#risingpark

 Wind blowing the girl's hair so I tried turning em around. Sunset not in the background but a cool orange glow on their faces :)

#risingpark

 Kookie got to attack a couple people, Made my day :)

#risingpark

 Just before leaving I asked these guys for a pic as the sun was going down. #risingpark

 This guy wanted to give Kookie some pets.. tickled me such a monster #risingpark

3/2/2021 

Getting ready to get my first virus shot 

After getting my shot, such a sunny day Kookie tricked me n2 walking up the trail to gaze over our turf.

First pumpkins I saw I asked for a pic for my photo safari album.

#risingpark

I saw these guys n thought hmmm n asked em for a pic. Their pup was timid... a rescue doggy they said :)

#risingpark

I took a pic of the place I just came from getting my shot. If I go back to town another day and it is sunny I will take the big tele n zoom in
