Chagrin Falls

The boys and I made a trip to the Village of Chagrin Falls over the weekend.  I wanted to test out the Hoya 77mm Neutral Density ND-400 X, 9 Stop Multi-Coated Glass Filter I recently purchased.  I had not used it yet and wanted to try it out.  I got it be able to slow down my shutter speed in bright daylight and to take fireworks photos.

Tom Bricker had a nice writeup on the ND Filters over at the Disney Tourist Blog on the market and briefly discussed fireworks and how he shot them using it.  He bought the Hoya filter and recommended it for others to invest in.  The funny thing is I bought this filter and the day it arrived I loaned it to a friend who was on his way to Walt Disney World.

I like the look of the water in these photos.  It looks like glass and everything is smoothed over.

Hot Air Balloon

From 2010 …..

I got up early this morning and went to the Balloon Classic Invitational in North Canton at the Kent State Stark Campus.  This was a combination of a Balloon Launching Site and Target Site.  First they launched approximately 18 Hot Air Balloons.  After the launch the field became the target site for at least 50 balloons, I lost count.  The pilots in the ballons tried to drop bean bags on the field as close to a “X” as possible.  This was quite a site to see this many balloons approaching one location.

Additional photos are hi-res photos in the Balloon Classic Invitational (North Canton, Ohio) (2010-08-01) album.

I noticed that AdormaPix is currently doing a special deal on 16×20 prints until the end of April.  They are only $5 each.  So, I had to order some prints.  I ordered the 3 prints below. Can’t wait for them to arrive!

We went to the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo on Good Friday.  It was a nice cool day at the zoo and the animals were fairly active.  We spent a good bit of time in the Primate, Cat & Aquatics Area.  See the photos below and All of these photos have been added to my Cleveland Metroparks Zoo Photo Album.

This past Sunday I meetup with a group of photographers that I found out about on Meetup  at the Everett Road Covered Bridge in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park.  There were approx. 6 of us there.

The intended purpose of the Meetup was to do HDR Photography of the bridge.  We were there for about 2 hours and took lots of photos.  You can see the ones I took and processed on this page.

I enjoyed it and look forward to meeting up with these folks in the future.

This is a photo of the Cuyahoga River shot from the lower deck of the Verterans Memorial Bridge in Cleveland in 2009.  I was able to access the lower deck on the 2009 Veterans Memorial Bridge and Subway Tour which was hosted by the Cuyahoga County Engineer (The Engineer is now under the Cuyahoga County Department of Public Works).

More posts about the tour can be found on the blog.
