Corydon, Indiana
A couple of our members decided to take a Monday trip to Corydon, Indiana in search of some small waterfalls. What they discovered was a glass blowing display and a few other points of interest. The photos below were shared with us from Lee Steiner. It's wonderful to see our members striking out with other members and sharing what they find. Keep shutterbugging.

Cove Springs Trip
Since those who came out for the Cove Springs Trip had been there previously, they decided to take a little detour and ended up in Cynthiana Kentucky. They also stumbled across the Colville Covered Bridge. Below are some images from Roy Rubeli from this trip

The Louisville Photo Forum had a great time at
Buffalo Trace Distillery on Saturday May 10. We ended up with 7
members there: including Roy our fearless president heading up the
group. We hopped on the 12:30 (free) tour, although I didn't listen
to much of the tour, (as there was soooo much to shoot) Our guide
was extremely informed and quite comical. Everyone seemed to really
enjoy his commentary as we made our rounds through the grounds. The
tour took around 45 min and then off to the tasting room. We were
given the opportunity to try quite a few of the sprites that the
distillery makes as well as some chocolates and a hella Irish Cream
with Buffalo Trace's Hard Root Beer. "alcoholic root beer float, YEP
twas' good" After the tasting I had to be on my way. I believe that
Roy and the others made their way to another destination.
The next Photos are from Roy Rubeli, including a group photo of those who went on to the Switzer Covered Bridge in Frankfort.

Sugarbush Maple Festival
The air was crisp, ok, it was downright cold, however, the scent of
maple syrup and campfires warmed your soul! What a beautiful day!
Several members braved the cold to partake in the festival. One such
photographer could be found busy capturing the days festivities. 
 As you can see, all photographers are welcome, regardless of skill or experience level. The days festivities included, of course, Maple Syrup!, breakfast of pancakes or waffles, spun maple sugar cotton candy, maple candies, kids crafts including a cross cut saw and branding of a maple leaf, a scavenger hunt, tomahawk throwing, demonstrations of the process to make syrup as it has changed over the years, a shootout, and many more. In addition there were craft artisans and a pole swing ride. 
 Our young photographer, Wyatt, (age 3) captured these images. Wyatt was also allowed to take one of the few group pictures of the reinactors. For those interested in the technical side of things, Wyatt shoots a Canon XTi with an 18mm to 55mm lens. In most cases he prefers the "P" mode or sometimes the "Green Box - Auto" mode. He shoots handheld. His images are posted untouched and unedited, with the exception of the watermark added. His Grandma assisted with the watermark of his actual tracing of his name using both Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom 5. 
 Hope to see you at the next photography field trip!!! |

Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption and Finley Market, February 18th.
BASILICA:
The interior was modeled after St. Denis in France. It contains murals by Covington native Frank Duveneck with the high altar carved from Carrara marble with floors of Rosata and Breche marble.[2] The north transept is said to contain the world's largest handmade church stained glass window, at 67 ft × 24 ft (20.4 m × 7.3 m).[4] It depicts the Ecumenical Council of Ephesus in 431 AD that proclaimed Mary as the Mother of God. The cathedral houses three pipe organs. The south transept gallery holds the pipe organ designed and built in 1933 for the cathedral by Henry Willis III during his tenure at the Wicks Organ Company of Highland, Illinois. Originally a three-manual console with 43 ranks of pipes, Aultz-Kersting Organ renovated and enlarged this instrument in 1982 to four-manuals with 65 ranks. The west gallery, below the rose window, is occupied by the two-manual organ originally built for St. Joseph Roman Catholic Church in Covington, Kentucky, in 1858 by Mathais Schwab of Cincinnati, Ohio. When the St. Joseph building was razed in 1970, the Schwab organ was moved to St Mary's. The Schwab organ was altered to fit the new location, but retains most of its original components, including its mechanical key and stop actions, ivory keyboards and faux-grained casework. It contains 21 ranks. In 2002, the cathedral purchased a one-manual, 20-rank portable organ for use in various parts of the sanctuary. This location is tripod friendly. Wide angle lens recommended. We will need to vacate the premises by 3pm before confessional begins. Afterwards, those who wish can enjoy a stroll through Finley Market.
1801 Race St, Cincinnati, OH 45202 Findlay Market is Ohio's oldest continuously operated public market and one of Cincinnati's most cherished institutions, welcoming more than a million visitors a year. Located just blocks from downtown in Over-the-Rhine, a dense historic neighborhood rich in 19th century architecture, Findlay Market remains the bustling center of farm fresh, locally sourced, artisanal and specialty foods. Open Tuesday through Sunday year round, Findlay Market is home to more than 40 indoor merchants selling meat, fish, poultry, produce, flowers, cheese, deli, and ethnic foods. On weekends from April through November the Market also hosts a thriving farmers market, dozens of outdoor vendors, numerous street performers, and lots of special events. |
