Ponce De Leon

This morning was supposed to be a beautiful sunny day. I planned on running before church, when I awoke there was a fog bank all around my house and it was cold. Undaunted I geared up and headed out (unbeknownst to me Clarke was running up to meet me but we missed each other as he got lost trying to find my house). After climbing a few 100 feet the fog broke and the sun shone gloriously, as I completed the loop and as I ran back towards home I ran back into the fog. The light was shining beautifully through the trees, what a gorgeous day.

You run with a D40?
Posted 23 months ago. ( permalink )

Mark Griffith says:

@nordique, yes. :) I run with a go-lite pack and the camera stuffed in back, when I actually to decide to go into photo-taking mode, I wrap the strap around my wrist so that it can "hang" from the strap and the grip rests in my fingers. I'll stop and snap photos as I go. I do get some looks I suppose, but for me taking photos is part of the process.

Nice mood Mark! Saw a bit of mist up towards Mauna Loa this afternoon, but so far Hilo has been dry and sunny. Everyone here is very happy!

Are you loving that D40 or what?
Posted 23 months ago. ( permalink )

Mark Griffith says:

@all thanks, as with most of my photos its all serendipity. Being in the right place at the right time, with my camera. The only thing I am trying to change is my ability to capture the moment.
@august allen, for me its perfect big enough to be an SLR but small enough to carry
