Out in the woods.

[GREAPER]

Steve and I had a chance to go out for a few hours Sunday night and shoot.

A couple of years ago I heard of a local wooded area that was know to have large amounts of Trilliam (sp?) every spring. That was to be our destination.

We drove out to the location about 30 minutes west of Toledo.

We were very happy to find that there was a LOT of it.

Unfortunately the wind had picked up. Shooting was going to be a little rough.

We also thought that there was still more to bloom and maybe we were a tiny bit early.

As the wind picked up and the light faded, we figured we were done for the night.

We stopped at Providence Dam hoping for a nice sunset.

We watched this kid throw back a really big carp.

The sunset wasn't much, even aided with the artificial color of a cokin graduated orange filter.

I did kind of like this abstract view of the dam

And a parting shot of the sunset.

Good stuff all around! The larger sunset and the abstract dam are definitely my favorites.

very good series and I as other stated really like the abstract.......unfortunately I find the sun an unwilling subject for me also...the sunset occur when camera is at home....so now I have one in my car at all times......

Were you at Goll Woods (http://longshots.smugmug.com/gallery/2301037) by any chance? I got a few shots there in December before my battery gave out. It's a great virgin forest.

The sunset on the Maumee is sometimes great, but like Art said, it's typically camera-shy.

Thx for the kind words everyone.

Redhawk, no This was not Goll woods, it was a small wooded area at a place called Seven Eagles near Grand Rapids Ohio.

I have beem to Goll Woods many times. It's a nice place to visit. It's about an hour from my home.
