Photowalk 46 of 52 - Browns Branch County Park
I really didn't have the energy to go on this photowalk but I decided I really needed to go. I haven't had as much energy of late for photography, not saying that I don't enjoy it anymore but I think I needed something of a break. Not just from photography but a lot of things. Work has been rather hectic lately and life in general has been busy. I know it's no excuse but it's the truth. Sometimes we all just need a break. I'm hoping at this point to be able to get all of my photowalks in before the end of the year but we'll see how that goes. A bit of lazyness and the hectic holidays may make me late.

Photowalk 46 of 52 (Fall at Mirror Lake)
Mother/Daughter Photoshoot
This wasn't meant to be a walk, but it turned out pretty good so I decided it should be counted as a walk.
I did these as a favor for my daughter, and I think they turned out nice.
Check out more of the shots at my flickr.

Photowalk 45 of 52 - White Clay Creek - POTW
First time going up here, but I've been trying to figure out when I could get up here for months now. It's a bit of a drive, at least for me at just under an hour and a half. So, I finally made it up there and met up with a flickr contact (M.Reder) that lives nearby.

Photowalk 43 of 52 - Killens Pond (Some long exposures)
I know I know... another photowalk at Killens Pond. You may not be saying it but I am. I really enjoy Killens Pond, it's close but there is a lot to be explored there. I'm trying to catch up on photowalks and posting. When I was trying to decide on whether I wanted to try a full year photogrpahy project that I couldn't pull off a 365-project.

Photowalk 42 of 52 - Maryland Renaissance Festival
I've never been to one of these before. I wasn't exactly sure what to expect when I got there. I really enjoyed myself though, and I think I've got my daughter hooked, she can't wait till next year!
Before I start, I want to mention that I know I'm currently one walk behind, that's okay I expect to catch up soon.

My Review of Black Rapid Straps RS4 Black Fabric, Lightweight and Low Profile, with ConnectR-2 and FastenR-2
Originally submitted at Adorama
Black Rapid Straps RS4 Black Fabric, Lightweight and Low Profile, with ConnectR-2 and FastenR-2
Great addition
Pros: Comfortable, Adjustable, Well Padded
Cons: Difficult to Attach
Best Uses: Long shoot, Comfort, Photowalk
Describe Yourself: Photo Enthusiast
Was this a gift?: No
I really like this over the original strap. I like the extra pocket it's big enough for me to carry extra cards or an extra battery. I don't like that sometimes it gets twisted a bit but I'm getting used to grabbing it so it won't twist as much. Also, I don't like the anchor point. Seldom do I use a tripod so that's not a big deal but I have a battery grip, and it makes it a little tough to hold the camera in portrait orientation with the big hook in the way. It's still possible but I wonder if it could be better.

Photowalk 40 of 52 - Senior Portraits at Killen's Pond - POTW
So I was doing some senior portraits for a friend, I figured it would be a fun experience. I don't generally like to shoot people but I've been enjoying it more lately. I've got to say, I think I did a pretty good job, but I also see plenty of room for improvement. Some might say well how does this qualify as a photowalk?

Photowalk 38 of 52 - Lavender Fields - POTW
For this walk I planned to go to Lavender Fields in Milton. I saw this vendor at the Lewes Photowalk back in July and I've been meaning to go and check it out.
The lavender was a bit bland looking but I think I came away with some great shots. I will try to go back here during prime lavender season.

POTW - Photowalk 37 of 52 - Killen's Pond - Manual / Flash and Umbrella
POTW - Photowalk 37 of 52 - Killen's Pond - Manual / Flash and Umbrella, originally uploaded by dm|ze.
For this walk I wasn't exactly sure what to do. It was drizzling rain and on Sunday so I needed to do something. The rest of the week had been busy so this was the only time I had to do my photowalk. I decided to play with my flash and my new flash stand and umbrella. I took two of my kids to the park with me and we found a nice little place to take some shots without the rain interfering.

Photowalk 36 of 52 - Silver Lake - POTW
So for this photowalk I decided to go to Silver Lake. I was originally going to go to the beach and get some shots but it being Labor day weekend I decided I didn't want to deal with the masses of people and traffic.

My Review of Expoimaging Rogue FlashBender Large Positionable Reflector
Originally submitted at Adorama
Expoimaging Rogue FlashBender Large Positionable Reflector
A great addon to a flash
Pros: Easy To Use, Versatile, Durable
Best Uses: General Use
Describe Yourself: Photo Enthusiast
Was this a gift?: No
I got this for the times where you can't bounce your flash. It is a great addon to my flash, and makes my candid shots and party shots a lot better. I wish there was a better explaination for the various uses and why to put it certain ways.

Photowalk 15 of 52 - Earth Day at Killen's Pond???
I see a pattern in my photowalks, no matter how hard I try I can't seem to just do a walk without some issue coming up. This time I was planning on going to the earth day celebration at Killen's Pond. We did, and it was cold and windy. I didn't feel like carrying around my DSLR so I took my Canon Powershot A620. I like this camera because it can fit in my pocket. Also, like my DSLR it has the flip out lcd screen. When I went to look at my shots at the end of it none were on there!!!

Photowalk 11.1 and 11.2
The weather is really starting to get much better here and I'm trying to get out an enjoy it. On this day I ended up taking two photowalks instead of one.

Photowalk 10 of 52 - Rehoboth Beach, DE
So we were down at the beach for the polar bear plunge (plugede.org) We had a great time as usual and enjoy the weather even though it wasn't great. We generally go down to the beach on the night before the plunge and stay the night at a hotel. We hang out for a good chunk of the weekend so my photowalk for the week consists of shots taken anywhere in that time frame.

Photowalk 4 of 52 - Mt. Olive Cemetery
Overall I was disappointed with this walk. It was freezing cold, fresh snow, and I just didn't feel motivated. Later that night I got sick, I think I could already feel it when it was time to do my walk. I've wanted to shoot a cemetery for some time now and I thought the snow would look good with it.

Photowalk 2 of 52 - Killen's Pond
This is the Killen pond nature center from across the pond. The sun was starting to head down and it gave it a nice orange glow that really helped the color pop.
