photo share: fall at its best

I have not taken a lot of random photo excursions the past couple months. But every once in a while there has been a day that was just too beautiful not to get out with my camera for a little bit. I'm glad that I was able to capture a little bit of this aesthetic while it was still around. Enjoy.

on the golf course

Of course I was taking pictures, not golfing. Surprise, right? One of my favorite places to walk and take pictures in the area is Greenfield Park. During one of my recent excursions there, I wandered through the golf course for the first time. Honestly I had never wandered through a golf course before. It was a fun experience and a great challenge for a familiar area.

How do you challenge yourself when you photograph familiar areas?

another Greenfield Park excursion

When I want to switch up my walking routine from the VA grounds and a couple other spots in my neighborhood, Greenfield Park is always the first place on my list. One of my challenges this spring and summer is going to be getting out to walk once in a while purely for exercise without my camera. This time the camera came along, though. Enjoy.

This has quickly become one of my favorite shots. I look for opportunities to get similar compositions just about any time I'm out with my camera now.

 

Look at those little baby geese! I love seeing them this time of year.

I've started photographing things through chain link fences, and it's really addicting. This shot is of a playground. For some reason, that subject really appeals to me for this kind of composition.

 

Where do you enjoy walking in your area?

Four Seasons of Greenfield Park

At some point during 2012, I got it into my head that it would be fun to photograph some of my favorite places in Milwaukee during all four seasons of the year. Now that we've lived here over a year and a half, I've made significant progress on this little project. At the end of the January, I completed my first location for all four seasons.

I'm pretty excited about how that little collage came together. (And yes, you can view it larger...and as well as all the other photos. Just click on them.) I may try to do more with this photo set at some point, but for now, I'm sharing some additional pictures from the past couple years from Greenfield Park. Enjoy.

Has anyone else completed a photo project like this before? Share your experiences!
