Flanner’s Beach, along the Neuse River in the Croatan National Forest. Awesome place and it has a little bit of everything!
Testing Near Gear at Glenburnie Park
Today I decided to head down the road (or up, I just know it’s close to me) to the boat ramp at Glenburnie Park. It was my first visit to the park and it is huge! There is an 18 hole frisbee golf course along with many pavilions and trails. Much to my delight, there are also several geocaches hidden on rough terrain (5/5 on the Geocache.com terrain scale) requiring hikes into the woods overlooking the river. It also has a dog park and a fishing dock over looking a very wide portion of the Neuse River just before it gets to New Bern. The whole park offers countless photographic vistas and points of interest for me. For all of these reasons, I can see myself putting in a lot of time at this park.
I took my new D90 and lenses out on a maiden voyage to the park today. I only spent about a half hour there shooting just 75 images; just getting a feel for a larger and more advanced camera. I didn’t get a chance to use my 70-300mm lens today, but I hope to be able to get that out soon. The weather looks cloudy and chilly tomorrow, but this weekend it will in the low to mid-60’s with nothing but sunshine! A trip to the beach may be in order. Can’t wait to see what I can do with this new equipment there! I hope you enjoy this very small photo set of the water front area.
Photos both shot with Nikon D90 camera and 18-105mm VR lens…hopefully I can see some wildlife next time so I can pull out the bazooka lens.
