\"Philadelphia<\/a>

Philadelphia Airport<\/p><\/div>\n

Yesterday\u00a0was scheduled to be a fairly long travel day…on my way to the San Diego Birding Festival. This shot was taken during my 3 hour lay-over in Philadelphia, before I knew just how long a day it was going to be. We were 2 hours late leaving Phili, due to machanical problems and a long line for de-icing, and then strong headwinds forced us down for an unscheduled fueling stop in Phoenix. The car rental center closed at mid-night and we did not make it, so I had to taxi to the hotel and did not get to bed until 1:45 Pacific Time…or just about when I would be waking up at home. I know, “poor me!” \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n

I was thinking of you all on the way…and decided that with 3 hours in Philadelphia I should be able to find a photo for today’s Pic. I kept a low profile (cameras are suspect in today’s Orange\u00a0Threat Level world) but I figured I could pass for a tourist \ud83d\ude42 I like this shot for the color, and the contrast between action and repose.<\/p>\n

It is an in-camera HDR with my “pocket” camera. I discovered, while in Honduras, that for people shots, I like a small pocket camera that I can always have with me. It is much less intimidating than my normal, almost DSLR sized, Point and Shoot. When I got back I ordered a Sony WX-220 and I am liking it a lot. Way more camera than a phone…but not much bigger…and certainly no more intimidating \ud83d\ude42 This shot is at 25mm equivalent field of view.<\/p>\n

Processed in Lightroom on my Surface Pro 3 tablet.<\/p>\n
