Sheldon Reynolds at Ricketts Glen

This is one of the many shots that was taken at Ricketts Glen during the 4th of July weekend, in between the days spent in Harrisburg at the American Music Fest. For those that are not familar with Ricketts Glen, it is a PA state park and has 22 named water falls. It is located about 30 miles north of Bloomsburg. We spent quite a few hours there and got lots of exercise. Sheldon Reynolds is a bridal falls and has a drop of about 36'. It is the 2nd falls as one hikes the trail from the Route 118 parking area. If you ever get the chance its well worth the day hiking amidst the flowing waters.

Perfect Landing

Well, as usual, I've been pretty busy this week. But, I still wanted to get something posted. I have been prepping pictures for uploading to the blog but I've run into a dilemma. I wanted this site to reflect some of the wonders of God's creation as the title expresses, "Allinsixdays". Some of my photography has taken a side trip and even though it still technically falls within it, it doesn't have the same flavor as initially intended. Like the steeplechase pics, they were interesting and the hats were a fun subject to shoot. They really don't fall in the nature, wildlife aspect. So I've decided to spin off a new blog which will share the images I shoot at events like the steeplechase, shows like the American Music Fest, and other events that I've shot or will be shooting. Soon I imagine I will be pushed into a web site, but for now I'll work from blogs. So that should allow me to showcase new and different photographic skills as they are honed and broadened.
As for the current posted image, I shot this this week while waiting for a dock door in State College. I can see why most everyone that has this lense likes it. The 100mm macro is one from which I'm sure I'll get a lot of mileage.
I'll be back soon to post here and to reveal the link to my sister blog. I know some bands from the American Music Fest are anxiously waiting to see what I captured.
