Odiorne Point Apple Tree (in infrared)

In July of 2014 we took a trip to Odiorne Point State Park in Rye, NH.
I took my old Olympus E-PL1 which I had converted to take infrared photos.
On every visit to the park, I always make the effort to visit a wonderfully shaped apple tree.

I liked the way it came out in infrared and have uploaded this shot to 500px which is a wonderful site for photographs. Click on the link to view in full resolution.

I had the camera converted by LifePixel. The process involves replacing the existing filter with one that is equivalent to a Hoya R72 Filter/Kodak Wratten 89b Filter/720nm Filter.

The difference is that the image can be viewed on the LCD screen or with a EVF. Exposure times and lens settings are normal. Use of those external filters would require long exposure times and the use of a tripod.

This shot was taken at 1/1000 sec at f/4.0

The Water Loom Dragon

Image
 A Fire-Breathing Dragon I guess it was inevitable that Bill Tobin would come up with something special for the 1987 Regatta on Water Loom Pond. He was a builder with a creative mind. He wasn't going to settle with just a Loch Ness replica, this was a fully operational FIRE BREATHING Loch Ness replica. The Seal Of New Hampshire Years later, Bill would create his masterpiece. A larger than life three dimensional replica of Seal of New Hampshire. It made many appearances over the years such as this on in the Amherst, NH 2011 Fourth of July parade. I never did learn what became of the dragon. Perhaps some misty morning I might spot it at Water Loom belching fire.

Drained Smithville Reservoir

Image
I've been taking a morning walk with my friends John and Angelika Weber and their son Parker by the Smithville Reservoir for over 10 years. We've seen it flood and we've seen it drained. These photos were taken in September of 2006. I'm not sure why they drained it, but I'll guess the fish and otters were not happy about it. The flood control dams were constructed in the 1960s as a response to occurrences of repetitive flooding. The worst flooding occurred in 1936 and the hurricane of 1938. Dam Site 35 is 30 feet high and 1,209 feet long. Smithville Reservoir (Dam Site 35) holds 1,787 acre-feet of water. The Souhegan River's headwaters are located in New Ipswich, the flood control dams hold back the water during heavy rains, They are earthern structures that slow the release of the water but don't stop it completely. New Ipswich has 4 of the 12 sites on the Souhegan River. John and Butch check out the Smithville Reservor as Bud the dog looks o...

Five Years Ago - 4th of July Pool Party

Image
"Summertime, and the livin' is easy Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is high Oh, your daddy's rich and your ma is good-lookin' So hush little baby, Don't you cry..." I created this blog as a narrative of moments in time over the years in pictures. This is only possible because digital photo files have accurate time stamps. Because of this I can confirm that Kathy was sipping a beer on her deck at 3:08:47 PM on July 2nd in 2011 when they hosted a Independence Day party. I named this blog Only a Picture Stops Time because it is a collection of stopped moments in time.
