pictures from harpers ferry
(sony a200, kit lens 18-70)
i took 200 photos but most of them suck for sharpness, i was shooting manual with a tiny viewfinder, i should have stepped down the aperture to get more in focus. i didn’t really understand the technical aspects of f-stop and focus, i just thought shooting wide open is ‘what pros do’. recently i’ve been using more aperture priority with auto iso. anyway
the words on the mountain here look really intriguing but it turns out it’s an old advertisemnt for toilet powder. smh. still one of the more interesting visuals in the area
as you come down the mountain through the cemetery and past some ruined buildings you get a nice view of the potomac river but i couldn’t get a good shot.
and that’s the train station at the bottom of the hill.
