Black & White Nature Sounds

A quiet morning at East Fork Lake led to an unexpected encounter with a wake of Turkey vultures spreading their wings in the morning sun.

I just picked up the Shortstache Filter (a polarizer and 1/2 black mist filter) by PolarPro to use at this summer’s Concours d’Elegance in Cincinnati (a vintage and exotic car show), but I was curious to see how it might perform for macro photography, too.

For my birthday, I treated myself to a self-guided tour of the Ohio State Reformatory, the filming site of The Shawshank Redemption.
