Supposed to rain so we made it to Mt P

The lighting was less than nice so I goofed off with some of the pics...
What I do, might have interruted the doings but I'll bet they post n share the pics, untaken if

Had the night lighting down but no victims to experiment with.

Set up the camera b4 leaving home

07/26 

If you were on Mt Pleasant 07/26/2024 , no telephoto but by the time I get on top I dont usually find anyone .

No, this shot did not look like this when I got here. I had to move about 15' to the left to line up the sun behind em then adjust the contrast :)

These were the first pups I got to pose for me. Sky pretty drab so I did stuff to this one.

Before this one I got the sun behind em, sky drab and using my flash, I got reflections so I moved em her, held the camera high so the flash would bounce in a different album n it came out pretty good.

.

I did different shots with these guys n got em to take their glasses off but one of em had his eyes in all of those so.. one of em knew me too :)

I spotted this crew n thought it would be a great dad n pups pic n he had to round em up, glad they came back. Wanted the sun in one of em but by that time it was almost gone but above #23 n little girl, a snippet of sun. N pets for Puparonia :)

Heading back I spotted these guys n they let me take a couple of shots n gave Puparonia some pets.
I saw a girl in a hammock, was gonna ask her but waited to long..

The sky wasn't great n those I worked on might have included the b4 version, sleepy now

07/21

Created a little index for tonight.

1697C took pics of these girls having lunch on the rock with their camera, n a bit later forgot and asked em again.. just used their camera then, wish I did take another with my camera. 
Though it matters not what I think, little/no make up n girls with eye brows n they were cute :)

Because mine was a candid n no faces I goofed off with effects.

1704 Took a pic of these pups on the north end.

1705 Guys down on da rock

1707-1720 The way they looked when I spotted em then they let me set up some shots n kissed when I didnt have the flash on, so I pshopped em to biring em out a bit.

1723 Kids n a hammock

1727 A bunch of pals, don't know if they all were froggy when I asked but I'll bet all of em has a copy or is taggedn in the pic :)

1730 The sky was not great but dabbling with the contrast and changing the angle the sky came out.. think I saw em later at Krogers.

1735-1738b Saw em coming up the trail, dealing with Puparonia I got a candid then on top.

1741-1742 getting too dark but captured these guys out on the big rock at the crest of the hill. I think their camera worked better than mine.

1870 on the way to Mt P, the skyview line..really looooooooooooooooooong.

07/19

Haven't been feeling froggy but went to Mt P tonight. Forgot to take my sun glasses, on the way home stopped at Krogers n lost my keys.
My kid bought me a billfold with a chain so I wouldnt keep losint things.. duh oh well

More tomorrow

William on top of the world

Fuzzy but they were still there when I got to the top.. not many on top tonight

Had to go to lowes to get some stuff  so we stopped at Mt P. Hardly anyone there n I did a lighting comparison, no flash vs flash on my mug.

To get this one I set the camera to take 20 pics in order to get just one with the pup bouncing all around.

07/07

Thought I would take the big teley to the fairgrounds n capture the chipmunks on top.

I let Puparoni run and she got caught on a pipe coming up.. ugh

Saw a cool shiloutte of a family n let em copy it.

Got a pic of 3 pals in the magic tree where so many have stood long b4 I got here.

A couple couples n when the sky was right, just one guy was froggy .. n used his light helping me get down.

Just took a candid of someone in case someone needs help.

07/06

Home alone with the pup looking through the trees to town, I had to escape. 
Didnt take the telephoto but did a pan of mt p from the fairgrounds then one of the pond

The iconic gas station and north school (that is where lhs used to play their football games)
I did take pics of a bunch of kids out on the rock at the crest of the hill, under the trees with shadows n light spots beaming through.. not one I would have set up
BUT it is a pic of their whole gang together, bet it will be a keeper.
Did a few of others with their phone cameras.. almost ready to go home n I saw (guessing) a mom n her puppy walk out on the rock n sit down.
I know (think I do) an image that would be a keeper for em, so first just them sitting looking over the city then standing up.
As I do tell others about using fill in flash.. wasn't thinking about getting a great photo, just a comparison in the lighting.
My flash lit em up n made em shinny n the girls hair blew in her face, On the way down I asked if I could post it, ok she said n I knew I had to turn it into a 'master piece' .. wlll work on it.

When you leave the park across the street those guys have saint bernards and on the way out I stopped in the middle of the road n ask em.

I really to hug a big fuzzy pup, maybe stop and switch em for Puparonia for a while, thinking he might not notice... for real I really need a saint 
If you know the girl n her boy make sure she finds the pic of em 

Made my day..
