Larry Wilder invited me to the William Penn/Newark high school basketball game today. His daughter, the lovely young lady pictured here, is a William Penn cheerleader, but I guess his pride in her didn't have anything to do with the invite. Nooooo!!! Proud fathers would not do anything like that, would they. I know I would, seeing as how my daughter was a cheerleader too!!!!We had a good time pointing camera lenses in all directions, and the pizza wasn't bad either. Enjoy the night like I did
On Nov. 21st. Cornerstone UM Church had a service to kick off their celebration of procuring 25 acreas of land.

Here is some of the days festivities for you to see. CLICK HERE, THEN CLICK ON SLIDESHOW
On November 5th I was lucky enough to help set up the stage for two Christian Bands at Faith City Church. The bands were Reilly, and Barlowgirl. It was a fun day of setting up the stage and working with the lighting and the sound crew. When the concert started having front row seats helped with the photos I took. Click here to see the photos.
On a bright sunny day three of us took on the New Jersey Turnpike to go to New York to see a photo exhibition and a trip to B & H Photo ( A photographers nervana or the Holy Grail of the photo kingdom). Here are some of my pics of the day. CLICK HERE.
Our 29th wedding anniversary was on October 17th and Beth and I went to Connowingo Dam were I wanted to show her the eagles I always go to Photo. We went before day break on the 18th so we could be there before the dam started to release water for making electricity. This stuns any fish coming out of the dam making it easier for the eagles to catch their breakfast and makes for good photos. Enjoy our day with us. Click here.
Today was a beautiful day for a time out at Delaware City for their annual Canal Fest celebration. I had a photo booth going to try and make some money, but mostly to get my name out into the public eye. Here are some of the pictures I took for many of the people that visited my booth. For those of you who I took photos for and have an interest in having a copy of your your day out send me an e-mail at LWDUCK1954@CS.COM and I will get a copy to you. Either a print or a JPEG file for your own use. I will pay for all postage. Those of you who have a copy of my business card, remember I do weddings, family photo sessions, parties and even photo shoots of your four legged family members. Contact me via my e-mail or phone number on my business card you have. Everybody, I hope God blessed you with a beautiful day and to see my photos of today click here.
I am working on a new project, and I am including all of you. I just built a portable photo blind. So far all of my wildlife photos have been done by stalking my models, (don't take that the wrong way now). I am only dangerous to myself!!!!! If you notice these photos are not the best. If you follow me through my trials and labors, lets see how well I improve. If you have any hints let me know. Today, the light was poor and I had to slow my shutter speed down to 1/80 and open my f-stop to 6.3. I should have also had my 500mm lens instead of my 300mm. Stay tuned for future photos.
On 9/1/2010 I had some spare time, that alone would give a strong man a heart attach, but it was true. Spare time!!!!AHHH Went to Becks Pond because the gas gauge was low. Got lucky or God said you don't need to go far. God gave me a good day. I hope you have as good a blessing seeing these pics as I did taking them.Click here and enjoys Gods beautiful world.
There are a lot more photos here than I usually put up, but they were dificult to pick out which ones were to be removed to make it shorter. I hope you don't fall asleep while watching. It would make me feel bad. Enjoy the fireworks!!! Click here.
Friday afternoon, Larry Wilder and I went to Middletown to take in a carnival and test our photo skills on moving objects going a little slower than when we went to the Monster Mile earlier in the year. We also wanted to take some really cool time exposures at night. I also desided to experiment and only go on manual. When I wanted to take a shot I tested the F stop and shutter speed, deleated the junk test photos and did perty good for a change. This photo is for my lovely wife Beth, because she is a pop corn lover for snacks instead of candy. I hope you enjoy the photos as I did taking them. Click here to see more.
On Wendsday evening I was shooting photos of a wonderful model by the name of Tracy. You could have fulled me that she had never modeled before. She took to it like a duck to water. It was a pleasure to meet her husband and work with Larry Wilder, who originally was the one who invited me to come along and work with him. We also had the good fortune of shooting photos of vintage airplaned from the 50's and where allowed to include them in Tracys' shoot. Check out the wonderful photos of the evening. Click here.
It was over cast this morning, but Beth worked all night and needed some sleep, so I took a drive to Bombay Hook Federal Game Reserve. The day became better as it went along. The sun came out. The only problem was the green head flys were large enough for small children to saddle up and ride on them. They pack a mean bite as well. If you go down do not forget the bug spray or you won't even be able to get out of the car. I saw birds today that I have never seen down there before. Take a look at my day and enjoy. By the way tommy the turtle was Tommacena. She was digging a nest to lay her eggs. Click here to see photos.
