The Conemaugh Gap of the Conemaugh River in Cambria County, Pennsylvania, is the deepest gorge east of the Mississippi, at 1,350 feet deep. - Conemaugh Viaduct - Fall Colors
The original 1833 single-arch Conemaugh Viaduct was destroyed in the Johnstown Flood of 1889. During the flood, debris built up behind the viaduct, holding back the water. When the viaduct suddenly failed, the water was released in a powerful burst that destroyed the nearby town of Mineral Point, and then Johnstown itself. This double-arched replacement was built in the 1890s to replace the destroyed viaduct, and today it carries Norfolk Southern's Pittsburgh Line, the successor to the Pennsylvania Railroad Main Line. - Autumn farm

I went outside at the edge of darkness, with an ND8 filter on the lens. I was set up for a 4 minute exposure to blur the clouds and the fog. I interrupted this exposure after 9 seconds, because I realized I forgot to cover the eyepiece. In reviewing the images, I realized I should have tried a short exposure. I like the striking pattern in the clouds, centered over the isthmus of land. To salvage this exposure, I had to brighten it by 5 stops in Lightroom (the maximum allowed), and then a bit more in Photoshop. The Pentax K-5 II holds up well, as usual. - Evening fog

Playing with the Vivitar Series 1 135mm f/2.3 (Canon FD mount) on the E-PL5. I believe this was taken at f/5.6. This was my favorite lens on the old Canon SLRs, but it hasn't been a great experience on the E-PL5 so far. 1) My copy has developed something that looks like fine oil droplets on the lens elements, which is hurting contrast and probably sharpness. 2) It's too heavy for the small camera body, especially when I'm trying to hold it steady with a magnified view for focusing. 3) Pretty bad purple fringing at large apertures, which is where this lens always shined with film.
