Jeremy > May 22, 2009; Day 20. Vermont Revisited. Peter and I are spending another Memorial Day weekend in Vermont with 9 of our friends. I have the feeling that this trip will be better than last year’s because the Icelandic horse ride is being replaced with a hike to Vermont’s highest peak, Mt. Mansfield. That hike will be tomorrow and I’m sure the POTD will be from that. Today we warmed up with this 6-mile bike ride that ended at one of the bridges that I photographed during the Vermont photo workshop last October. The ride was mostly flat and nice. With the sun behind clouds, the temperature and light was perfect.

Jeremy > May 11, 2009; Day 9. Pandemic. I’m slowly catching up with my Joy of Photography class, submitting my week 2 photos this morning and finally getting the final shot needed for week 3 tonight. The missing piece in that assignment was a panned shot. I got two or three decent pans tonight after shooting for a half hour in Portsmouth’s Market Square, which made a decent background for panning. I submitted a separate shot of a motorcycle for the class. Whenever I set out to pan, I almost always notice a perfect car or bike while enroute to my spot. Tonight was no exception; as I entered the square a red Mini Cooper drove by. Drat!

Jeremy > July 11, 2008; Day 70. Today I committed myself to the Harbor to the Bay AIDS Ride. This 125-mile bicycle ride will occur on September 20. Officially, I am Rider 186. Today I decided to relieve my old, inexpensive, and crash-battered mountain bike from the responsibility of delivering me safely to Provincetown. That job will go to this guy, brand new today. If I were a kid, I’d gleefully announce that this is my shiny new 30-speed bike. How great does that sound? I guess I’m still a kid at heart. I had never ridden a touring bike before today. Carbon sure is light. I had to buy new shoes, the kind that latch onto the pedals. I have to get in the habit of detaching from the pedals before dismounting. The brakes are familiar but the shifting mechanism, not so much. Tomorrow, training begins, with a 36-mile ride through six NH towns. I am somewhat fit, having stayed regular at the gym throughout the winter. So training is not so much about aerobic capacity and endurance…it’s about getting used to the saddle. The ride should take no less than 7 hours, so I’ll need to be, um, callused in certain places. Did I get lucky with a really low sun? OK, I’ll confess. I love that warming gel. (Thanks, everyone, for your enthusiastic response to yesterday’s pic. Harsh, I have added my e-mail address to my gallery description—good idea. Also, I have registered with Prix site and will submit the pic. Thanks for suggesting it!) PS: Crop: 10% PS: Unsharp Mask: 20-30-0
Jeremy > June 1, 2008; Day 30. Peter and I enjoyed a beautiful late Spring day by taking a short bike ride through a neighboring town. I quickly metered with the camera to my eye (that’s as close to living on the edge as I get), then let it hang as it fired away. I like the angle of the horizon and the motion implied by the road. I’ll be doing much more biking starting now…I’m planning to ride my first century (124 miles, actually) in September. No post processing…JPEG from camera.
Jeremy > May 29, 2008; Day 27. Today I found a great new spot for shooting. This new pedestrian bridge is called "Hands Across the Merrimack." To the right of this shot is the skyline of Manchester, NH. Running beneath is the Merrimack River. Along the river is the Everett Turnpike. The deck is new pressure-treated lumber. The lamps are lit before sunset. The possibilities are endless. I'll be back. Raw: Exposure: +1 Raw: Fill Light: +20 Raw: Saturation: +30 PS: Color Balance: Magenta to Green: -10
