Lights on the Lake - Walking Edition

What can do you at Onondaga County Parks? Everything! 24mm 1/30 ISO1600(-1.0EXP) hand held

The two nights before Lights on the Lake opened, it's really open for walking. The first night is for walkers and the second night is for the dogs. We went on the second night, it was raining the night before. I've got hundreds of pictures of the light displays, but bring the camera along anyway.

Wonder! 26mm 1/40 ISO 1600(-1.0EXP) hand held

Now I find myself capturing images of what the kids see. Wonder and amazement at the light, right there where she can inspect it up close. Good luck finding a bulb like this at my house, we use CFL's. She's my engineer, so I would imagine that she was trying to figure out how it worked.
She was real impressed with the blue lights.

The Blue Lagoon 24mm 1/20 ISO 1600(-2.3EXP) hand held

You'll notice the pictures were all taken at ISO1600 and -X EXP compensation. With the Nikon D50, that's effectively increasing your ISO, ISO 1600 at -2.0 becomes ISO 3200. It's a little bit of a cheat, but it works when you've got to get the shot in the dark.

Candle Light Vigil

Our little village pulled together for a candle light vigil for Matt McCabe. He had a heart transplant and is not responding well. Many have jumped in to support the family and they are still accepting donations to cover the medical expenses. His birthday was Monday, he turned 52.
