    This is what caught my eye when Googling the area around the Susquehanna State Park. A dam that has a road over it.

    Rt 95 bridge over the Susquehanna. .....
    Nice train engine shot, in profile. Good idea at night with light beam shining into the dark.

    Hum.... google search an area. Ha! I didnt think of that for when I was just in a new area for 4 days.
    I am wondering what you saw on google search, and how that compairs the the shot you did take (the view of the power station with illumated sign).

    Hey, another of your great shots of bridge over water and citylights at night.

      Thanks for the article. Yes, our mirrorless cameras have the typical shutter and aperture priorities.

        It was actually a pretty good simple article. A thing to add is if hand holding the camera, hold it with both hands and pivot your upper body rather than just your head and neck and the farther you are from your subject the easier it is to pan. I used to always use manual focus and prefocus but it's been years since I've dome any panning and I'm sure modern focus tracking would be ideal. An old buddy from what seems like a past lifetime.

            Not an artsy pic but pretty random. I saw this while on my way to work yesterday. A bit scary as I have quite a few trees really close to my house.



            It's in a town nearby. I don't know anything about it except that it looks like the house may have been uninhabited. I hope.

              We have lots of trees near are house as well. When the wind comes a howlin there's always that voice in the back of my head saying "today could be the day".

                Yikes. Thats some heavy damage. According to our then neighbors a large Oak fell on the roof of our hose a few years before we bought it so we have a relatively new roof. During Hurricane Sandy we had a large Scottish Maple split at a crotch in the tree and half of it came down on our shed and part of the soffits on the house. If I hadn't moved the car that afternoon, that would have like been a total loss as well.

                  The sun finally came out after a week or so of cloud and rain. Thankfully we were very lucky to have missed all the chaos and flooding to the west of us. Still very unseasonally warm here though, the foreground area should be covered in snow by now and the rivers edge iced over.

                              Life is a balancing act, enjoy every day, "later" will come sooner than you think. Denying yourself joy now betting you will have health and money to enjoy life later is a bad bet.
