East Coast Trip, Fall 2011
We booked our fall trip six months ago, and had no idea that our two-week vacation would include a job interview in NC and several trips to hospitals and nursing homes for two of my grandparents. Stressful is not the word....
I did manage to fit in a little bit of shooting. I'll be damned if the $25 bag fee they forced me into paying at the security gate will go to waste. In NY, there's a fantastic arboretum just down the street from the in-laws house.

A rare 30-second self portrait:
----------------------
In Northport, Long Island, I took the sunset colors to an extreme. This is actually not too far off from the coloration of the RAW files out of the camera. 10-stop ND filters tend to pass just a little more red than other colors. Over the 30 second exposures, that small color cast adds up.
It's a constant balancing act to find the right shutter speed that provides sufficient exposure and blur to the water, but holds sharpness in the vessels, which are bobbing up and down in the water.
-----------------
Cleveland was more depressing than normal, so I barely brought out the camera, except to shoot my friend Xela at a coffee shop gig.
We came back to a puny harvest and some dead plants.

Or, you could switch to micro 4/3rds and keep your camera/lenses/flash in your pants' pocket.
That's what I do.
