Normally rain fed, Wiliamsport Falls is typically completely dry this time of year. With as many days as there is no water plunging over the sandstone lip the falls have earned the nickname "Dry Falls".  This year however, throughout the summer there has been an unusual amount of rain.  As fall hit and the foliage started to change it seems that there is no end to the amount of rain falling in Western Indiana.  There was an exceptional amount of water headed over the falls as the sun began to set this evening.

This unusual amount of water flow led to a considerable amount of noise coming up from the gorge below.  The echo from the stone face and the surrounding bowl like landscape only shows up when you round the corner at the top of the trailhead.  One step is quiet and the next deafening.

Williamsport Falls - From the top Williamsport falls is located just south of downtown Williamsport, Indiana in Warren County.  The falls are the tallest plunge falls in the state of Indiana.  Upon reaching the edge of the cliff, water tumbles 90 feet to the pool below.

The thumbnail (left) is a quick view from the top of the falls.  The slick rocks are guarded by a fence that forms the boundary to the parking lot for the trail.  It is a short hike to the bottom of the falls and the lower banks of the Fall Branch Creek.

At some point during the history of Warren County there was a mill located atop the sandstone falls.  Before agriculture began to divert water away, the falls it would flow nearly every day.

This was my second attempt at creating a schedule poster for an athletic team.  The poster contains 14 separate pictures all taken at the Harrison Invite.  Each of the photos were done using a Nikon D70 with a 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 Nikkor Lens.  The composite was assembled in Photoshop and each of the squares is a different layer.

The poster was created for the cross country team at Fountain Central Sr. High School.  The team is having a record setting year under third year head coach Clint Burney.  Good luck to all of the athletes at FCHS for 2014.

Waterfalls have seemed to be the theme for our annual summer trek to South Carolina.  On our way down we stopped in Kentucky and made the one mile hike to Bad Branch Falls.  The falls are located just outside Whitesburg, Kentucky.  They area part of a stream that is a rain fed and as the summer has gone on a lack of rain has slowed the falls to a small trickle (see thumbnail below).  This was a disappointing start to waterfalling, but things got much better.

Bad Branch FallsBad Branch FallsNot much water running over the falls today. Will have to check back periodically.

Bad Branch Falls - Whitesburg, Kentucky

As we made our way to the Carolinas there was opportunity to hike to other falls.  With my dad serving as tour guide we were able to hit three more waterfalls during our visit.  The picture above (top) is from Station Cove Falls, located in Oconee County, South Carolina.  The trail is just outside the Oconee Station State Historic Site entrance.  The waterfall is a short 1/2-mile hike from the parking area.  This 60 foot waterfall is a part of Station Creek and the Seneca River watershed.  For a full gallery from Station Cove Falls click here.

Next, it was on to Issaqueena Falls, also in Oconee County.  These falls plunge 100 feet and are also a part of the Seneca River watershed.  They are fed by Cane Creek.  It was a treacherous climb to the base of the falls, but well worth the effort.  The photo below only shows the bottom portion of the (upper) falls.  To view the entire gallery click here.

Our last set of falls for this trip was McGalliard Falls in Valdese (Burke County), North Carolina.  When getting out of the car we could hear the falls.  Just out of sight of the parking lot McGalliard Creek plunges 40 feet.  There is an abandoned mill on the edge of the plunge pool at the bottom.  The mill was active until 1941.  The original wheel was washed away in a flood in 1916.  When the park was established in 1982 the mill was rebuilt.

July 11, 2014 - Hudson, North Carolina - Precision Printed Products 250 CARS X-1R Pro Cup Series race at Tri-County Speedway

In the waning laps of the race J.P. Morgan (23) Chevrolet Impala SS held off a hard charging Caleb Holman (75) Henderson Motorsports Food Country Chevrolet Impala SS.  Morgan would go on to win his second race of the season.  Holman broke an axle on the first lap of the race and went several laps down while his crew fixed the problem.  With the 75 car racing to get a lap back, the drivers put on a great show.  The two are also atop the points standings for the series.

Tri-County Motor Speedway is a 4/10th of a mile oval speedway that hosts special events like the Pro Cup Series.  The series will head to Orange County Speedway in Rougemont, North Carolina, on July 26th for their Summertime Showdown 200.  Six races have been run with six to go.

The photo is from a farm in Southwest Virginia.  It was taken just before the sun set over the nearby mountains.  As the sun drops close to the horizon in the evening the light rays are bent differently from any other time of the day.  This casts a golden colored light over the landscape, making it a great time for photographs.

Apple trees, Malus domestica, belong to the same family as the rose bush (Rosaceae).

Morning Fog https://www.michaelallio.com/blog/2014/6/morning-fog Morning FogIndianapolis, Bloomington and Western (Big Four) Railroad Bridge (c. 1869-1982) over the Wabash River (Covington, Indiana).

In the Camera - Nikon D610 - Nikkor 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5 lens - Aperture: f/16 - Shutter Speed: 2.5 seconds - ISO: 100

This photo was taken at about 5:30 in the morning.  I woke up to the dog needing to go outside.  As it turned out, it was a foggy morning.  I grabbed the camera and a tripod and high-tailed it to a location I had scouted out.  The subject of the photo is the Indianapolis, Bloomington and Western (Big Four) Railroad Bridge (c. 1869-1982) over the Wabash River (Covington, Indiana).  Abandoned since before I was born, the train trestle is now a fixture as a part of the City of Covington's riverside park.  From a distance you can see the remnants of graffiti painted on the side of the metal (below). At one point it clearly said "Truly seek Jesus."

Operating in Indiana, Illinois, and Ohio, the Indianapolis, Bloomington and Western (Big Four) Railroad was formed in 1869.  A terminal was built in east Urbana, Illinois in 1871.  This terminal is now used by the C-U MTD (Mass Transit District) as a hub.  According to cumtd.com, the last passenger train passed through Urbana in 1959.

Today's photo was taken about a mile from where we currently live in Covington.  The terminal is about three miles from our house in Champaign.

Lens Reversal https://www.michaelallio.com/blog/2014/6/lens-reversal

© 2014 Michael Allio

In the Camera - Nikon D610 - Nikkor 50mm f/1.8D Lens with lens reversal ring - Aperture manual f/8 - Shutter Speed 1/125 sec. - ISO 3200

This photo was taken using a special piece of equipment called a lens reversal ring.  It allows the photographer to turn the lens of the camera around, essentially attaching it backward facing onto the DSLR.  Why would you want to do this?  By using this setup it allows the photographer to get closer to the subject.  Many lenses have a minimal distance that the camera must be away from the subject, otherwise the object will begin to lose focus.  The downside to this process is, now everything must be set manually (including the aperture being set directly on the lens).  The only thing the CPU of the camera does for the photographer is to set the shutter and film speeds.

The photo is of a Lily (Lilium) growing in our container garden.

First Time Lapse https://www.michaelallio.com/blog/2014/6/first-time-lapse Body 'n Sole Remodel

Copyright 2014 Michael Allio

This was my first attempt at creating a time lapse video.  It was taken at Body 'n Sole Sports, a running specialty store in Savoy, IL as they were working on remodeling their store.  This was a fun project and I am looking forward to attempting this outside with a scenic setting.

The 1080p video is composed of 975 stacked images.  Compiling the video was the job of the camera.  It is a great new setting from Nikon as it would have taken several hours to put the video together otherwise.

As I work with this feature I hope to figure out if there is a way to extract an individual image from the video.  If any of you have experience with shooting time lapse video in this format please leave a how-to comment below.  Thanks!

The last post was a wildlife photo, and so is this one.  After the cold winter we had it is tough not to find a way to get out the door.  And, with all the trails nearby it becomes that much easier.  The photo above is of Branta canadensis, or the Canada Goose.  The two in the photo are juvenile.  We live in a small band of latitude where these birds can be found year round.  North is the summer breeding grounds while south is where they will travel for warmer weather.  There are several other photos, including some pics of adult geese, on the wildlife page.

April 12, 2014, Randy Stearns leads runners to through the first leg of the 2014 River to River Relay.  

 

Every April I participate in a relay race that runs from one side of the state of Illinois to the other.  It is called the River to River Relay.  250 teams start on the southwestern corner of the state by the Mississippi River and cover 80 miles to Golconda, Illinois, on the banks of the Ohio River.  Teams are made up of eight runners who each run three stints over the duration of the race.

Our team is composed of employees, some current and some former,  from the athletic shoe store Body 'n Sole Sports located in Savoy, Illinois.  The team mascot is the Banana Slug, hence our name in the results appears as the Body 'n Sole Slugs.  Our team t-shirt logo (below) was created by using photoshop vectors.

The photo above is one of many from the weekend.  Check out the entire gallery by clicking here.

Downtown Champaign, Illinois is home to the Virginia Theatre.  The theatre boasts live performances as well as serving as a movie theatre.  Every April the venue is home to the Ebertfest, a film festival that began in 1999 as Roger Ebert's Overlooked Film Festival.  Ebert was a native of Champaign County.

The picture is composed of three photos that were stacked using image editing software.  This process allows the image to show details in the shadows and the highlights that your eyes can see but the camera sometimes loses due to exposure limitations.

To begin this blog I wanted to start with some of the first photos from my new camera.  In early March I purchased a Nikon d610, these are some of the first  test shots taken with that camera.

My blog is designed to keep friends and family updated on my photography and life adventures.  Check back every couple of weeks for updates!!

In today's pictures...

For anyone who doesn't know these are our two dogs.  The one on the left was a shelter dog and she is a Maltese mix.  The picture on the right is our Greyhound.  For the most part she is a big couch potato, but from time-to-time it is a lot of fun watching this retired racer run around the local park.  For more information on how you can adopt a retired racer follow this link to American Greyhound.
