Museum Monday (Lino Tagliapietra's "Endeavor")

I have recently posted about the Corning Museum of Glass in Corning, NY, and wanted to share a few more shots of Lino Tagliapietra's "Endeavor" in the Contemporary Arts + Design Wing.

Going not that long after the museum opened allowed for less people, so I was able to get these empty shots.

The daylight filtered through the skylights and the white walls made photographing this wing a breeze after bumping up the ISO to 3200.

Our recent Finger Lakes Vacation, my wife had found a cottage rental in Trumansburg, NY a couple of years ago, and we were finally able to rent it for a few days. It sat on two acre of land. Our dog really enjoyed running around the large field. Off to one side, across a creek with a wooden bridge, there was this seating area in a clearing between two creeks and the trees. Coffee was had as we would sit and relax a bit before our adventures for the day.

The Finger Lakes region has over 100 wineries, and is New York State's largest wine producing region. Our recent vacation took us to the area between Seneca Lake and Cayuga Lake.

We made sure to make room in our car for a case to bring back to Queens. Our wine rack had been close to vacant anyways.

Wide Angle Watkins Glen

My family and I recently just took a short vacation to the Finger Lakes region of New York State. One of the activities we did was a hike through Watkins Glen State Park through the Gorge Trail. The Finger Lakes has been experiencing a drought, so the water levels were really low compared with past trips my wife and I made, though it was still stunningly beautiful.

This shot was captured from the Central Cascade Bridge, close to the lower entry point. This is actually a composite of two images, both shot from the same vantage point. The first image was the Central Cascade sign sharp in focus, and then everything else blurred out. The second shot, everything below the bridge was sharp and the bridge was out of focus. I combined the two images to try to get an entire shot in focus.
