The sky was a little blown out in this shot I took, but the scene was so beautiful I had to post this photo anyways!

Looks like this Street Sweeper needs to be cleaned up just as much as the streets do!

I was lucky to catch this old time car driving past a photo shop named Old Tyme Photo. I used a default filter in my editing program that is supposed to make the photo look like a 1960’s slide. I think the effect worked pretty well.

Time flies…when your having fun!

Today is the one year anniversary of  Fotoblography.com! It has been a fun and educational year sharing my photos with you all and visiting your photoblogs as well! I really can’t believe it has been a year already. A year ago today this train was the first photo that I posted to my blog so today I decided to convert it to b&w to give it a more old time feel.

You have probably noticed that I have been doing some spring cleaning too and I am now using a new theme on my blog! I figured after a year it was time for a change. As you may have noticed the images are now larger so I hope they will be easier to see! If anyone notices any bugs I may have missed with my new layout please let me know.

I want to thank everyone for their visits and posts especially the regulars! Last year there were over 2,800 comments on this site which is WAY more then I ever would have imagined when I first started! Having this outlet to share my photos has really meant alot and now when I am out shooting I am constantly thinking if the photo is good enough to be posted or not, and I am taking photos more than I ever have. So stick around hopefully the next year will be even better than the last!

Pretty cool name for this fishing boat in Plymouth Harbor.

Another shot from the marina this time of a “manlift”.  I assume this is used to lift workers up high to work on the larger boats.

Another shot from the marina this time of the side of an old boat where the paint on the wood is chipping.

Here is a shot I took at a Marina this past weekend of the undersides of a bunch of boats being stored over the winter there.

I got a chance to go to Salem MA over the weekend and I used my new Lensbaby lens alot. Having said that I am not sure about this shot. I like it but I sort of think it may have been better with a higher aperture on the lensbaby so there would be a bit less blur. What do you think did I go overboard with the lensbaby on this shot?

I got this vantage point of Lake Winnipesaukee from a scenic overlook on the side of the highway. I have posted a photo of this island before but on this particular day I was lucky as the famous Mount Washington boat happened to be passing right as I was taking the photo.  I thought it was cool that the island was smaller then the boat!

The Wright Museum is a World War II museum that is located in Wolfeboro NH. The poster was so colorful and interesting I decided to desaturate the rest of the photo and leave that in color. I cant decide if it worked or not. Either way I think this is a pretty cool way to advertise a museum with a tank breaking through the wall!

This river on Lake Winnipesaukee in Wolfeboro NH had some cool little boat garages that housed some classic wooden boats.

As I was driving by these train tracks I noticed the mountain far off in the distance and looked for the nearest place to turn around because it looked like it would be a nice photo. I am pretty happy with it overall and I think it was worth stopping to get it.

Here is the train leaving the North Conway Train station that I showed in my last blog posting.

Here is a photo I took of the train station in North Conway NH.

I am finally back and posting new photos again. I spent the last week on vacation in Wolfeboro NH on Lake Winnipesaukee and took a ton of photos of the area. Here is a shot of the docks right behind the center of town.

Anyways Sorry I have not posted in so long but I am back now!

Behind the Lobster Company there was a cool surprise, actual America’s Cup Sailboats that had competed in the famous sailing race!

Here is the view from the free lookout point that is behind the Aquidneck Lobster Company that I posted about in my last blog post.

I will be on vacation for a week with no internet in NH starting tomorrow so I will not be able to reply to comments until next week but I have setup my blog to automatically post a few photos I have setup in advance so there is still new stuff on my blog while I am away. As always comments are appreciated and you can be sure I will read and reply to any comments I get when I return! Anyways I will be back in a week and I hope to take some good photos to post here while on vacation.

Here is another shot from Hampton Beach from a couple of weeks ago. I got down on my knees to try and show some of the incoming waves at eye level. Granted the waves are not very big but I still liked the shot.

Here is a shot I took a couple of weeks ago of an old fashioned vintage car that I saw parked on the side of the road. In the unprocessed shot there were alot of pedestrians and cars in the background that I found distracting so I decided to do tight crop on the grill of the car. To me that was the most interesting part of the car anyways so I think it worked.

I thought this small fishing boat had alot of character so of course I took a photo of it. I desaturated the photo quite a bit so the boat would stand out better. I think it works pretty good.

Believe it or not this photo was taken on the same day as the sand sculpture photos I have been posting. A thick fog rolled in later in the day and you could barely see in front of you. There was a sailboat race going on that day and just minutes earlier you could see them clear as day but could barely see them at all once the fog rolled in. If you want to see a clear shot of the sailboats before the fog to compare it to after the fog then click here.

On my way home from Hampton Beach I stopped to go fishing with my father in this spot right across the bay from the Seabrook Nuclear Power Plant. No three eyed fish where caught

While at Hampton Beach over the weekend I saw this classic car in the parking lot and could not resist taking a photo of it. They don’t make cars like these anymore thats for sure. In 30 years I doubt anyone will be taking pictures of my Toyota Corolla!

It was a beautiful fall day in Maine when I took this photo. I was taking pictures of the fall foliage when I saw these two rowboats all by themselves in this small bay. It sometimes gets boring just taking pictures of trees in the Fall with nothing in the foreground so this was a bonus finding these rowboats!

Here is a photo of the famous MS Mount Washington on Lake Winnipesaukee. If you have ever been to Lake Winnipesaukee in the summer chances are good you have seen this huge boat sometime during your stay. It is very popular with tourists and gives tours of the lake every few hours. I converted this photo to sepia tone and added the noise to give the photo an old time look.

Here is another shot from my trip to Newport RI last summer. I really like all the natural wood on this sailboat. The boat was almost shining it was so immaculately taken care of.

I took this shot last summer while on vacation in Wolfeboro, NH. It is a photo of an old train station in the center of town. The building is starting to show its age and is now used as a tourist information center instead of a train station. Still a very interesting building that has a unique architecture.

This is a picture I took a couple of years ago on the top of Mount Washington in New Hampshire. It is the famous cog railroad that takes you to the top of the mountain. The color really pops on this one and I like how the action of the smoke pouring out of the chimney and the water pouring onto the track is frozen in time. I was really lucky to get this shot as I was on a different train going down the mountain and I had to take this picture out of the window. Came out pretty good considering imo!
