10/29
Thinking to make the best of the good days I took Kookie for pics n encountered a bur . I recorded the time and established what I needed to play that game.
Before I left another guy talked to me, I had taken a pic of him on his bike. Thought the bike looked familiar but was not sure if it was him 😸
The clouds took the sun tonight but I asked these guys n they were froggy

This is a lesson in lens flare I took two pics from here, one with the lights below then backed up away from the spot lights.
So it is why I do not like to take pics when the sun first begins to descend to the earth.. sunset

I didn't think Kookie would get any pets tonight but on the way down these guys liked her, she was gonna jump on em and I used the zapper. then she was too mild.
The zapper has 3 modes.. quick shock, lasting shock and noise. The noise works on all of em but after being conditioned she associates noise with shock.. don't need to give her a buzz

10/28
I goofed off too long .. first went over to the high school with the idea I would leave Kookie in the Jeep.. up the bench and take pics of the visitors on the opposite side, then go to the other side n take pics of the other visitors.
There will be gobs of pics on the field but me thinking capturing the excited families, class mates n pals.. maybe next year.
When I got there... no game

Guess I won't workout tomorrow just get stuff done.
I lost the phone n looked every where, so planned to buy another tomorrow then a miracle took place.. putting on my drawers to go to town it magically appeared in my pocket 😏
Up the trail n took pics of these guys first.. as they were talking n gazing out at the horizon then had em turn to show their faces.
#risingpark
#risingpark
With no clouds after sunset it is drab then at twlight the sky gets red .. the best time for me
#risingpark
I think these guys were froggy to keep moving, I heard em say something about ordering a pizza. Guess I took their pic b4 ?
#risingpark
No one on the rock when I was leaving, just the silhouette of the trees with the red sky background
#risingpark
#risingpark
10/23
Almost a perfect day for me n Kookie. The first time she drug me down on the ground when another pup wanted to rumble, when I went back I put the zapper on her.
Took some pics of others with their camera the second time too.
This morning I was up before daylight to make it int the fairgrounds and tonight I put the sun to sleep at sunset
#risingpark
#risingpark
Saw our fb pal n told em how I moved the sun to get a planned pic
#risingpark
A bit dark n just asking people on the way down for pics n this girl told me I captured her before.. She had one of the new ones.. they do not come with a flash any more so I did a flash n no flash pic for show n tell
#risingpark
Captured these guys then one more patch of pals
#risingpark
Out on the rock I told em to scratch their ear if they see me again to remind me. #risingpark
Finally captured a decent sunrise over Mt Pleasant and will have more pics later.. trying to get ready for tonight
Three tries in different years and this is the first one I got close to capturing the sun rise behind Mt P. I found a magic trick, so simple I never thought of before.. If the sun appears to the left of Mt P and you want it on the right, how can it be done
#risingpark
#risingpark
Turned the camera on to 5 rapid shots, gave it to his wife, then traded places with the guy.. putting Kookie up on the rock . Today is a super fall day for pics , get out there
#risingpark
Seeing this crew I thought they should have a pic all together.
I did a pic of these guys coming up the trail with their camera then did a candid with mine
#risingpark
#risingpark
Light beams coming through the trees causing spots but using flash close up reduced the difference
#risingpark
Saw these guys at the bottom of the hill n captured em with the fountain in the background
#risingpark
I covered Kookie in leaves for this fall shot.
#risingpark
Getting ready... in the Jeep n saw this guy walking around playing then sat on the rock.. maybe the talent scouts might discover him... hmmmm He told me someone had an animal cam on top.
#risingpark
Getting ready to leave n saw this pup bouncing along.. n thought.. just one more pic
#risingpark
Captured a panoramic pic of the pond n fountain
#risingpark

10/22
Just got back n uploaded these, trying not to goof off too long n get up early to take a stab at a sunrise.. parobably another dud but, that is me
I saw these guys n thought I would use effects to capture a candid pic then got one of up front
#risingpark
Just saw this pose, forgot to tell em I took their pic but u cant tell who they are so...\
#risingpark
Saw this guy painting n asked em for a pic. It looked pretty cool
#risingpark
I knew this one would not be great girl n the shade then couple n the sun.. but captured the photoshoot
#risingpark
I knew sun flare would get me at this time of day so their detail is washed out.. but did get a good pic of Kookie getting a drink 😃#risingpark
Doing the sky I had the settings wrong then adjusted for this pic
#risingpark
I was getting set up to do a pic of me n Kookie n these guys came along, so I did get a couple nice pics of them. Girl said it was her first time on Mt P 😢
#risingpark
I saw some knews n thought hmmm so I did a candid then they let me do another
#risingpark
Too far away to get a good shot so I lightened this one a bit with pshop
#risingpark
This one came out better than I thought but the ground nor sky is visible
#risingpark
I found some stuff someone forgot so I took it down to the park house

Tomorrow, 10/23 might be a good day to attempt the sun rising behind Mt Pleasant. The tripod set up at the red marker
People travel long distances to capture sunrises n sunsets with iconic backgrounds
rising park "lancaster ohio" 439,000 google links
mount pleasant "lancaster ohio"501,000 google links
Mount Pleasant is the heart of Fairfield County. Endless photos are taken of it and from it for over a century

What could go wrong 😏😒😞😔😟 Well you would just drive over to the parking lot early in the morning to find out
One year the clouds got me and one year the sun was like a giant headlight coming at u n the dark https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNZdK_OLKeQ
My goal something like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0v4atXv32kI

I got all my workout done today, the hard day but facebook kidnapped me and I made it in late. Didn't get to capture anyone so I tried a couple with Kookie n me.
When she passes the fountain she always wants a drink. I told her she should not drink after the nasty humans but she won't listen.

I was gonna try to capture a sunrise tomorrow but goofed off to long to have things ready... maybe Sunday morning then take pics at sunset.
#risingpark
#risingpark
Looks super nice the next couple days maybe one of the few left to lay in the grass n watch the clouds go by. I am gonna try to come out a couple nights.. hope to remember the polarizing filter to make grey sky's blue

10/16
Again I got behind but made it to Forest Rose for some pics.
#risingpark
I heard that witches n vampires came up here this time of year so I took garlic n tricked em to come out n the sun, you know that that does to vampires
Forgot my wooden stake and hammer
🙀#risingpark
I hoped to get these guys in the pic but think they were on the far side, but they were there when this pic was taken
#risingpark
I took a lot of these with a phone u probably can't see em but if you were on mt p on10/16 u can have yourselves photocopied in the background.
#risingpark
The only people on top when I got there but did get to pass our pals n they got the photo block I had made for em.
#risingpark
Trying not to jiggle, I put the camera on a 3 sec delay and set on the hand rail
#risingpark
Wanted to include TheMick here fir a reason been waiting for this pic for a loong time.
#risingpark
Wanted to get a pic of Mt in the background n the Jeep but didnt take to line it up so I could get to Mt p.
#risingpark
Dont know if I will make it tonight but will try to get a fall pic from here first.. not much time 10/15 #risingpark
10/15
Just working on the pics I took yesterday
When I went back later the sky had a veil so I didn't go to forest rose, No parking places so I zoomed around a couple times. I thought I brought two cameras n couldn't find one. In the parking lot a car behind me shined their lights through my windshield and there it was on the hood. Did I drive 7 miles to town with the camera on the hood n didn't fall off .. can't be 😏#risingpark
I hoped to get there earlier, with no parking places I just stuck the camera out the window each time I went around n was stuck in the traffic, thinking TheMick n her pal might be one of those rides as I snapped the shutter
#risingpark
I saw this girl taking pics n thought she should be in one with the fair n the background :)
#risingpark
#risingpark
The windy wind sun on one side n shadow on the other but got to capture dad n the girls on Mt P during the fair 😄
#risingpark
Girl escaping from Kookie 😋
#risingpark
The clouds covered the sun so no harsh shadows or squinting for these guys :)
#risingpark
I did a couple of these with the camera doing time lapse
#risingpark
Got to take pics of these two cuties .. wind going wild but I took several n got a good one . The flash produced great lighting n the girl told me her name.. hope if I see her again I will rember her.
#risingpark
Fair in the background then I did a couple of these with the sun and trees n the background
#risingpark
I spoted these guys with the Michigan hats.. me n Kookie's pals. I have a Michigan hat.. instigator hat my girls r Buckeye fands 😈
#risingpark
The best lighting in solid shade with the fountain in the background
#risingpark
My last photo victims, hope they find this pic
I took pics of several others with their cameras too.
#risingpark
10/14
I will get to the rest of them tomorrow but doing these now because .. well I have been doing TheMicks pics since she was n school and this is a scene I imagined in the beginning
After the wind decreased and dark
#risingpark
#risingpark
The wind was wild n all the pics .. just posting this one for a time lapse example
No matter how I stand, Kookie is always wiggling around.
Here I set the timer 20 sec delay letting us to get in position
10 sec interval .. time between pics
7 pics So it took 7 pics in that spot
#photography #timelapse
#fairfieldcountyfair #lancasterohio Kookie is snoozing but gonna take her to Forest rose for another attempt in a few #risingpark
10/14
10/14 Gonna take some fair pics this morning then go to Forest rose to take some mt pics .. in case I have not internet phone so if u see me on top .. welll Rising Park / Mt Pleasant #risingpark
10/12
It is supposed to be nice Friday and the leaves are right, I will probably go to Forest Rose and attempt another great photo like this one. It should be in the afternoon so the sun is to the west. If there are any moving clouds wait till a break you can see the difference when looking at Mt P.
Because of depth of field you and Mt P can not be in focus at the same time.. this will require a pic of u and Mt P to be combined, this is what my best pic looks like.

If I am there and u r ... at the same time 😉

I took a medium telephoto and you can not get close. I had a girl do this knowing it would not be great and intended to come back and do a couple of her when it was not so bright. She vanished by that time and I had to stretch stuff to make this pic half way visible.. probably go back Friday night for the last time.
#risingpark
#risingpark
Deep shadow and orange glow here n came back a bit later n took a better lighted pic
#risingpark
Facebook pal that hikes, travels rock climbs n stuff :)
#risingpark
Just did a candid of these guys
#risingpark
Almost waited too long, the sun was sinking fast
#risingpark
Had to move Kookie three pups came along to put up their hammock n I did a couple pics of them
#risingpark
Telephoto made it hard to get em in the shot at this range and depth of field .. well the background is not sharp
#risingpark
Twilight makes the best pics for me
#risingpark
Two of our fb pals. I tried not to splash em out with the flash. I had to do a lot of stretching in photoshop to make this candid pic half decent.
#risingpark

Wed n Thursday not gonna be so nice tonight
I thought this was on the weekend but tonight, I have no idea where to get tickets
Me n Kookie might make it to Mt P tonight if facebook doesnt make me forget stuff n I get the workout done
10/10
More pics but I am a bit tired on the way up I saw this guy n got a pic of him n his pup
#risingpark
#risingpark
I was setting up waiting for the sun dim n saw our fb pal n took a couple pics
#risingpark
Waiting for em to start I asked this guy for a pic with the fairgrounds n the background
I did some for a couple others with their camera too
#risingpark
Taking this one TheMick came to my thought hopping her hopes come true.
#risingpark
Most of the bull riders didn't make it long enough for me to catch a shot but this guy
Starting the ceremony this girl n her horse danced around with the flag.
#risingpark
#risingpark
I talked a really nice girl n to letting me photograph her but she didn't want me to paste it on the internet.
.. so I didn't delete but put it in a folder I hope I never paste by mistake.. guess I could rename the pic.
The sky turned out just like I thought it would but with the big telephoto ugh, so I replaced it with the normal lens to capture this beautiful sky/fair combo.

Kookie waiting to go to Mt Pleasant, hope we can find a parking spot .. I heard the fair was packed yesterday ..
10/9 I was gonna come out to Mt Pleasant tonight but got invited to a party stuff took a long time so I just came home and worked on pics of the guests, Kookie got some of it too .. just one of the party.
I have a couple other photo projects to give then I am finished this year.. hope to come out later n catch some fair pics
10/8
I was going to come out Saturday n Sunday but goofed off too long , I did see one of the fb pals made it, n caught one of the birds floating around.
Hoped to give Courtney n Mickayla what I bought for em a while back
I got to give a couple of the projects in my bucket list tonight
#risingpark
#risingpark
Still too bright to avoid sunflare so I turned em with the trees n the background n avoided reflection from the glasses
#risingpark
On the way down I saw these guys all dressed up n got to take their pic, guess they were having homecoming at Lancaster High School :)
#risingpark
#risingpark
10/7
Cloudy n cold so we didn't go to town today, looking through hard drives
Might come out the 8th or Sunday
Spring through fall these guys attach their strap here to walk on. If u r there they might just let you try :)
They are in great shape, go hiking, rock climbing and r into photography. They r on Kookie's fb pal account.
#risingpark
10/6
Sunday night (free day) the fair closes early so I am thinking I will go another night
On the south side of Mt P there is an area by fair and high to capture fair visitors, thinking I will do time lapse there.
On the north end where me n Kookie is here, the demo derby, the live show, n horse events can be captured..
If you have band members or other events you might catch some of them during the day light. #risingpark
10/4
I was just going to take the stuff on top to figure out things for when the fair came.. not expecting much on a Tuesday night n met a really nice girl trying out her new camera.
Looking at the sun when it starts down.. super bright n makes em squint but as it lowers to the earth, it produces a warm glow like this one
#risingpark

I never think of stuff until too late but hope u n Mick becomes fb pals -> Mick
https://www.facebook.com/mic8o
you can add Kookie (me too if u wanna)
#risingpark
***
I will try to get things finished and come out tonight
I don't go the fair.. goofy to walk around by myself n Kookie can't go .. what a monster, but
If u r at the fair after dark when we r there I can do decent pics after dark there is a little area by high street that I can get a clear shot.
If I am froggy I might take the tripod and just do time lapse of that area capturing different people.
I have a cell phone, I never use cept for emergencies .. don't even turn it on but if you wanna pic when u get to that spot, you can call
The beginning of fair week will be the best but clouds won't matter after dark.

Photo gifts for your family or friends that love Mt. Pleasant
I love pics with people n pups in em but just some iconic pics of and from Mount Pleasant to.
I have spent $$$ to have metal prints made to give to others. I knew a couple of em but not all.. This year I just did a couple little photo projects for my bucket list.
I kept track of the original images if anyone would like to have enlargements to give as gifts.
Fair about to happen while I am typing this one, my shot from Mt. Pleasant
The year before the virus when they had the fairgrounds lit for Christmas I captured this one.
I have many more here are a few I pasted in the enlargement album

Not everyone will have a wall to hang pics on there are other great photo ideas that include a sentiment .. thought 😊
Copy freely .. images enlargements can be pretty large. Those I made as gifts were 20x30
Hope this album is visible

Finished all my workout and hoped it would be a great photo night on Mt P. Just as soon as we pulled in this guy stopped his car and came over to meet Kookie :)
#risingpark
At first I thought this was Ryann coming over but nope just wanted to give Kookie some pets, got slimed n scratched a bit.. purple heart of valor to be awarded.
#risingpark
This guy had a drone n told me I had taken his pic before. I knew I could not get a decent of the drone with the bright sky background so got em to move into the shade and used flash.. came out ok.. the drone floating there
#risingpark
Bright sun, gotta take a pic of these guys n their pups.
#risingpark
Not too sure what these guys were doing but asked em for a pic at this time of day it is too bright to capture the sun in the background
#risingpark
Sunflare made this one foggy and I did not check it till I got home.
#risingpark
Through the last years so many people have vanished.. moving away, just not coming any more. One pup I latched on to.. moved away but I still gab at her.. me like burr rabbit talking to the tar baby I guess. She was with me when I made my first video there .. something about others sharing your stuff I guess.
Others talk to me a bit making me feel like I know em n look forward to seeing them. A bit hopeful tonight but no show.. well until I started down the path. I told them the sky would be great in a little bit ( I don't see pics others take)
Pic below left pic I took of me n Kookie on top, middle looking in the rear view mirror on the way home.. thinking we were seeing the same sky n I added "them to the mirror"
I decided I was gonna ask people's names and try to remember them.. started with a kid last week..
For some reason I was given multiple names as a kid as well as the one they stuck me with when I exited the escape hatch, but the one my friends n family called me growing up, I always liked to be called.
Glad I got to see em.. to check off my bucket list.
#risingpark
Me n Kookie My review mirror on the way home .. looking at the same sky 😊
***
During the fair lots of people come to stand on Mt P and go to the fair.. so cool.
(First pic of me n PuppyDog the fall after we were alone)
I have this one n another of me n Kookie in the basement on the wall that our pal Penni brought one Christmas.
Of course I can't go n walk around by myself, the Kookie monster would not be aloud.
The last time I was there my school pal came back to Ohio n we went out. I would like to just walk around a couple of times .. just a flash back of fond memories from high school I guess.
Remembering Friday nights after a football game just walking around with the guys n looking at the girls 😋
In junior high I got a job in one of the game booths to set up the cats people were throwing balls at.
If you come out n I am there a bit after dark is the best time to get the fair lights in the background.
Looking down from my cloud, I will be you...
Guess I will go out tonight. 10/2 Sunday
