52 Project (Week 25) - Great Season!

This year Jonah was on a Manager Pitch team and he loved every minute of it.  The team was full of great kids, parents, and a wonderful group of managers that made learning and playing the game fun.  His team finished as regular season champs and second place in the playoffs.  He is already looking forward to next season.  Great job A's!

52 Project (Week 24) - Sandbridge Beach

On our last night at Sandbridge Beach there was a full moon and a a storm rolling in.  I set up for some long exposure images, and this was one of my favorites from that night.  If you haven't been to Sandbridge Beach it is a very nice area, and I understand why it is referred to as the Outer Banks of Virginia.  I definitely got the same vibe as my previous visits to North Carolina's Outer Banks, and I actually learned that the two beaches are only separated by about ten miles of wildlife preserve.

52 Project (Week 23) - Colonial Williamsburg

We stopped off in Williamsburg on our way to the beach.  While walking the streets in the early evening I noticed many of the side streets were empty of people.  I stopped for a few moments and took a few photos.  I will probably dedicated an upcoming post on traveling to Williamsburg and the beach with my Fuji cameras.

52 Project (Week 22) - Man vs. Food

We went to the Washington Wild Things game a couple weeks ago and they sell a ridiculous funnel cake.  It is loaded with fruit, ice cream, and several other toppings.  I think food won.

52 Project (Week 21) - Small Town America

We went to the Memorial Day parade last weekend and I was able to capture a little boy and his dad checking out the fire trucks.  A typical scene I am sure in many small towns that day.

Exploring Canada with My Fuji X100s and X-E2

Last year I was invited on a trip to Canada, and it went so well I was invited back this year. That trip is in the blog archives in May and June and was shot using a Canon 5D MkII and the Fuji X100s. This year I replaced the Canon in my travel kit with the Fuji X-E2. I took the same kit as in my previous posts from New York City.

The trip to Canada, specifically Huckleberry Island, which is located in the Parry Sound is a long weekend guys trip. A family friend has two cottages on this island, one of which is in disrepair and there are always a few projects that need done while we are there. The other is pictured in the first image and is the main cottage, has solar powered lights for evenings and propane appliances for cooking and refrigeration.

After the work is done there are all sorts of activities that one can partake in. Kayaking, fishing, hiking, and relaxing are always available and I bring cameras so photography is an option too. Some choose to build large fires to burn the scraps from our construction projects. Regardless of your preferred activity everyone has a great time.

As this was my second year I had a better idea of what types of images I wanted to capture. The focus this year was long exposures and some documentary shots too. Typically I have no problem picking whether an image will work better in Black & White or Color. I had two images from the trip that I felt work either way extremely well. They are below along with the other favorites from the trip.

I love my new travel kit and on a trip like this it was near perfect.  My only addition would be possibly a wider lens or possibly even a fish-eye lens to capture more of the landscape.
