Egg Harbor After Dark
On our Door County vacation earlier this month, husband and I played with a little night photography. Bill worked with a tripod while I made use of the new monopod I purchased in September.
Using the dock railing as additional support, I was able to capture a few shots. I like the placement of lights both along the dock and reflected on the water in the distance. The flowers are a little muddy but I was pleased with how that silver, rectangular ‘thingy’ turned out. Does anyone know what that is?
We had fun experimenting snapping pics after dark and while I have very little experience with night photography, it’s definitely on my To Play list in the future!

The Defiant Ones
Husband and I spent a glorious afternoon hiking this weekend and these young ‘uns – rebels! – were also savoring a beautiful October day on their Harley Davidson motorcyles. Our very own, gorgeously incredible Ledges State Park was a madhouse of visitors yesterday.
Folks here realize that each and every luscious fall day that goes by may be the last good one of the year so you have to get out there while you can. These fellows, in their biker black leathers, graciously agreed to allow me to photograph them. I love their casual pose, the only shot I took as I did not want to delay them – they’d only just arrived when I crossed their path – in their enjoyment of a fantastic fall day here in central Iowa.
Thursday Doors – October 22, 2015
Here’s something you don’t see very often: a double-wide screen door entrance to a small-town bar & grill. The food and atmosphere was great at Nelsen’s Hall on Washington Island in Door County, Wisconsin. A novel experience!
