VIEWFINDER-Storm clouds roll across farmland along Meadow Valley Road in Warwick Twp. Monday June 26, 2023. It's that time of the year. Thunderstorms popping up out of the blue and the possibility of capturing a some lightning. Unfortunately this was not the day. I drove all over the North and Western parts of the county searching for the best storms clouds and this is what I finally came up with. I thought the clouds looked menacing and the hole reminded me of the eye of the storm. Equipment: Nikon D5 with a Nikkor 14-24mm f/2.8 at 24mm; 1/10 sec; f/7.1; ISO 320; Aperture priority; Pattern metering. Processed in Adobe Photoshop and Nik Collection Color Efex Pro 5.

VIEWFINDER-The sun sets through the clouds along John Landis Road in Manheim Twp. Saturday Oct. 7, 2023. Once again as I drive across this picturesque county I catch glimpes out of the corner of my eye that interest me. As soon as I saw this frame I knew it would make an excellent black and white image. If you see something that makes you think that looks cool, stop and take a picture of it before the moment is lost. Once you get into post production you can decide if it was worth all the hype. I do this all the time. Remember when shooting digital or mirrorless the film is free so shoot it up. Equipment: Nikon D5, Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8 at 110mm. Exposure: 1/160 sec.; f/22; ISO 125; aperture priority; pattern metering.

VIEWFINDER - A partial rainbow appears over farms looking Northeast from Kissel Valley Farm along East Oregon Road in Manheim Twp. Wednesday April 26, 2023. Rainbow saves the day. On this day I was scheduled to cover Warwick vs. Penn Manor at Manor Middle School at 4pm. On my way over from the Northern part of the county I could see a huge black cloud over the area I was heading towards. When I arrived at Manor Middle School the softball field was pounded by the rain and was unplayable. A quick text to Sports to see what other events were going on and decided to head over to Manheim Twp. who was hosting Warwick in baseball. After an hour of prepping the field it started to rain and they called the game and it was strike two on my day. I left the field and drove around the corner to find this scene. Day saved. I don't think I have ever seen so many colors in a rainbow. Equipment: Nikon D4s with a Nikkor 70-200mm, 1/8000 sec., f/4, ISO 400. Processed in Adobe Photoshop and Nik Collection ColorEfex Pro5.
