Just a couple shots from my Finger Lakes getaway in upstate, NY. Over the course of the weekend I hit about 9 NY State Parks including both Watkins Glen and Letchworth. Alot more to come from this trip but thought I would share a couple shots..

    looks like a place i would really like to visit! absolutely love the first one... #2 is good as well, but personally i'd like to see a tighter crop. not a fan of the cockeyed angle shots, though...

    Wow, what a location! It looks like a rather tricky lighting situation, but you did well. I love the peaceful grotto feel in the first. This is a place I'd love to visit, now that you've showed great examples of what you can capture. :D

    A nice set of images from a beautiful location. I just might have to get off the West coast and venture back to New England again.

    Watkins Glen... I love this part of my home state.. Picturesque waterfalls (Glens), Seneca Lake...

    Then there is the part that really grabs my interest... Totally self indulgent link here

    Me driving a Porsche 935 clone at Watkins Glen racetrack... I love building and racing cars, and I love photography..

    Watkins Glen is a mecca of sorts for me :-)

    I like shot #1, minus the creative logo, the best. The logo almost looks like graffiti.

    Wow, who knew NY had scenery like this! Great job on these Bryan, although not a fan of the tilt on the 3rd one.
