Description

Frances Slocum State Park, PA
This photos was taken at about the same time Monnie Ryan's post from today was taken. She turned left and I knelt right. A left turn was the way to go; way to go, Monnie. I still have rock dimples on my knees.

f/9, 1/40, 24-105mm at 24mm, ISO 100, handheld (without my knee pads)

Exif: F Number: 9, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/40 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 100, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 24.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 5D Mark II

Another excellent use of foreground from you, Marty. You've let us see the plants and pebbles clearly, and of course that lets us empathize about your rock dimples, but it also beautifully leads us in to the far vistas behind. #1312541

And I stood back and watched you both get your chosen shots. In hindsight, I wish I had taken a shot of the two of "in action"...but I didn't. Meanwhile, you got an excellent image (as did Monnie...)...nicely composed with excellent color and clarity. Beautiful park...hope we can get there again someday soon. #8935321

Monnie Ryan September 28, 2010

The only reason I didn't run to get my macro lens to immortalize your dimples is that you were wearing jeans and they didn't show up -- so now I'm bummed, Marty! Talk about a missed photo opp! That said, I love this capture -- wonderful composition and clarity that showcase the diversity of this beautiful park! #8935409

Another beauty from your beautiful PA park, Marty. Great composition. I loved Monnie too. #8935441

Aside from the rock dimples (I am still trying to rid my mind of that vision) Looks like you are getting some fall colors across the lake! #8935505

Ron McEwan September 28, 2010

LOL Marty, I am still pealing scabs for some of my climbing tricks to Montana and Canada. Both you and Monnie nailed your early fall shots perfectly. Looks like you guys may be about three weeks ahead of us. #8935513

If we are not getting our knee's dirty and a little banged up then we are not trying hard enough! Great depth, pov and capture Marty - Terrific effort too!! Jeff #8935580

Thanks, everyone. #8936826

Ho! So the truth prevails!!! And here I had in my mind a vision of you bravely enduring supreme pain and discomfort to bring us such a wonderful capture of your beloved park...Actually, getting down into the position you did looks like pain enough to me! Excellent capture, Marty - this is a place I would someday like to wander thru - looking forward to some Fall captures of this beautiful area...hint, hint... #8936880

I'm sure your dimpled knees are cute Marty. This wonderful pov was certainly worth it..love the light on the water too :-) #8937019

Kitty R. Rodehorst-Hanna September 29, 2010

Just BEAUTIFUL, Marty! Wonderful POV that you couldn't have gotten if you hadn't knelt on your dimpled knees! LOL
Awesome shot! :-) k #8937568

Ok. Ok. Cut it out. Rock dimples shouldn't be confused with cute little pudgy kid's dimpled knees. You guys are great fun. #8938878

Marty- WEll you both did a fantastic job and even thhough you will always be dimpled knee, you at least got this beautiful picture. Such a gorgeous scene. I love the depth, the framing used, the beauty of the details and those colors. Way worth the effort my friend.
Have a great day dimples. #8940773
