I spent a few hours this afternoon, sometimes on my knees, walking the trail along Turner Reservoir in East Providence. Cold would be the theme of the day. Manipulating smallish camera buttons on a smallish camera (Sony A7R3) was a challenge.
The sun finally arrives at Colt State Park in Bristol, RI. There’s only so many angles from which to photograph a bridge, but this time I tried going “under” the bridge.
A glass-like surface, that is, until the dogs catch up to me. Not a second to spare in getting a shot off.
A nice view to end the work day today. This is our new office building in Johnston, RI, home to some 3,000 colleagues. We’ve been here just over a year now.
I have a love hate relationship with this photo. Love it, because a lot of Facebook friends really seemed to like it; hate it, because it was taken with an iPhone 11 Pro – and not my Sony A7R3. That day when smart phone cameras crush the photography industry (Nikon, Canon, Sony) will soon be upon us. Special thanks to SnapSeed for adding a hint of HDR to the photo’s final version.
An early start in the morning means capturing great light, and the stillness of the water just adds to a peaceful scene near the bridges in Barrington, RI.
It was a more somber night than the usual raucous, fun-loving, Waterfire celebrations of the past. Taps, played by uniformed trumpeters positioned along the river, added to a moving event.
