Happy Halloween!!

Happy Halloween from the Puggle Pirates...

A weekend in Mt Carmel, Pennsylvania

Usually when I visit Mt Carmel, it's in the spring or winter when there are no leaves on the trees, but I finally got to visit at a time when there was some fall color on display.

Here are some of the photos...

Degrees of Bravery on US Route 220

I came across a nice stretch of foliage this weekend just outside of Bedford Pa. The problem was, it was a very high contrast area, so the only way to get a nice photo would be to bracket some shots & merge them. So, each finished photo is actually three photos, each taken at a different exposure, then merged together.
The other problem was, there was a festival going on in Bedford this weekend, so the highway was quite a bit busier than usual.

You can see my various degrees of bravery below....

The Covered Bridges of Bedford County

While I was out photographing the bridges of Bedford County this weekend I thought of a great idea for a movie script. It's about this photographer dude who is photographing covered bridges in a specific county & this lady who seems to like him. My current draft also has a lot of aliens, but they may get dropped from the final version.

Anyway, I was in Bedford over the weekend, so I decided to take a drive and photograph some of the bridges. Here are some of the shots...

I also took different variations of each bridge, if you'd like to see all 32 photos, you can view them here - Bedford Covered Bridges.

Here's one other from Bedford County that I had photographed previously - Hewitt Covered bridge.

Shawn and Brittany Helmstetter's wedding

Congrats to Shawn and Brittany on your wedding!! ...and thank you for letting me be a part of the big day. It was a lot of fun.

Here are a few of the pictures...

Photo shoot with Jordan - part I

Wow...it's October already...yikes, when did the summer end? I'm pretty slammed at the moment with various projects, but I thought I'd share a few pics from some recent shoots.

First, here are some from a recent fun portrait shoot with Jordan...

There will probably be a Part II to this post in the next week or so, since I'm still only about halfway through the pics from the shoot.
