Doesn’t this porch look inviting? A perfect spot to spend a summer afternoon with a good book and a glass of lemonade. This scene is from “somewhere in Lancaster County, Pa.”. I love to turn off the GPS and just drive without paying attention to where I am or where I’m going. That’s when you come upon hidden treasures to photograph!

Repeat after me …. lines and angles and windows and corners! This was a fun architectural scene that I found during a trip to the beach last Fall. As you’re out and about photographing, always remember to look UP!

I came upon this pretty farm on Sunday afternoon and had to pull over to snap a few. I love barns and cows and together with the winter landscape, this scene was calling my name! Winter is a beautiful time for photography!

One of my favorite photography quotes is: “If your photographs aren’t good enough, you’re not close enough.” (Robert Capa) I love frame-filling images that bring you close to the subject. That may be the result of my love of macro photography, I’m not sure. Even when I’m photographing landscapes, I often use my Canon 70-200mm lens so that I can bring details in closer or eliminate unnecessary elements on the edges. When searching for images in the field, I’m always trying to figure out how to get close enough to compose the image in my camera that I see in my mind. In-camera cropping may not be for everyone as it does reduce print size options, but it works for me!

Lancaster County, Pennsylvania is a treasure to photograph. Around every corner you will find sweeping landscapes, farms, old barns, interesting people and animals. I don’t have the opportunity to visit often enough, but plan to venture in that direction a bit more in 2015. Here’s a photo from November that I am just now revisiting to edit and post. I love, love, LOVE the lines, angles and colors in this scene. Well worn wood is a favorite subject of mine!
