Night Photography - Gervasi Vineyard / June 19, 2013 by Harold Brown

Handheld camera shot taken at Gervasi Vineyard on New Years Eve 12/31/2011.

Nikon D90 - ISO 800 - 1/60s - f/3.8

I had my Nikon D90 camera with me to capture some pictures from our New Years Eve dinner and decided that I might as well capture some of the outdoor lighting at Northeast Ohio's Memorable Destination - Gervasi Vineyard. The temperature was cool, but no snow, and the lights on the trees looked nice as an offset to the sign on the left. Just an interesting picture on the main entrance road of the winery.

Nikon D90 - ISO 1250 - 1/8s - f/3.5 - 18mm Focal Length - Hand Held

Gervasi is a winery, bed and breakfast Villa Suites, wedding venue and so much more in North Canton, Ohio. It has over five acres of vineyards producing grapes for Gervasi's estate wine varietials.

Safari - Impala Antelope / June 18, 2013 by Harold Brown

Impalas are medium-sized antelopes that wander the savanna and woodlands of eastern and southern Africa. I snapped this photo in Kruger National Park, South Africa in 2009. You can see the needles sticking out of the impala's face from the barbed trees surrounding it. Impala's are very beautiful animals with very unique markings. If you go on safari you will see a lot of impalas and many times with other animals among the herd. While on safari I typically have my 70-300mm zoom lens mounted on the camera. You aren't going to get a picture like above without one. I have a second camera with a wider view in the event I need to get a picture of something closer to me, like an elephant. You need at least a 300mm lens if you are going to capture good photos of a rhino. It is difficult to get close to them.

I took this picture on the site marked below

Panorama - Fall Colors / June 17, 2013 by Harold Brown

You will find this scenic surrounding on the property of the Shiva Vishnu Temple in Parma, Ohio. The temple is located on Ridge Road. This is a merge of 6 photographs from pictures taken with the camera tilted on it's side.The panorama was created by doing two separate merges. Three photos made up the left half, and three photos made up the right half. The resultant two pictures were then merged to create the panorama you see above.

On The Road – South Dakota / June 15, 2013 by Harold Brown

Taken through the drivers side window of a 1972 Chevy Nova in July 1973. We were driving to The Badlands National Monument. Note the side view mirror in the lower right portion of the photo. I scanned the 35mm slide using my Epson V700. The trip was so long ago that I don't know exactly where in South Dakota the picture was taken, but I do know that we entered the Badlands from the north on route 240 after exiting I-90 near Cactus Flats.
