Mark Cassino Photography - Mark's Blog

Yesterday I visited the Allegan Forest. It was crisp early autumn morning, brilliant sun and very breezy. A snap of the road I was hiking on:

A couple of images from the Allegan Forest, taken at the very end of September. When this blog was down for a day or so I posted these on flickr - and those much larger images are far better. You can see them here and here.

Petnax K3, DA 16-45 f4.

After a couple of days being offline due to a technical glitch, I have to post a cat photo to celebrate getting the blog up and running again!One of the more reclusive and less often photographed of the felines that prowl around here…

IR converted Pentax K10D with Ricoh XR Rikenon 28mm f2.8.

Another image from Ferry Point Park in Maryland:

Infrared converted Pentax K10D and DA 17-70mm lens.

Yesterday morning I took a walk through the Yankee Springs Recreation Area,near Hastings, Michigan. I wandered between the Devil’s Soup Bowl and Grave’s Hill. Here are a few photos (click on the images for larger files):

All photos taken with Pentax K3 and DA 16-45mm f4 lens.

Another small park in Maryland. Mallows Bay is home to a scuttled fleet of WWI vessels that were sunk in shallow waters to create a wildlife refuge. Here is the road leading into the park (click on the image for a larger file):

Here is one of the scuttled ships, as seen from the shore:

Infrared converted Pentax K10D with DA 17-70 lens.

Here is a shot of one of the sunken vessels found a little closer to shore:

And here a decrepit dock right near that sunken boat:

The latter two non-infrared color photos taken with Pentax K3 and DA 17-70 lens.

Another photo from Maryland - this is a replica of a Bay Lighthouse that is at the Marina in Cambridge, MD. This would have been a screw-pile lighthouse, built upon piles that were literally screwed into the soft bottom of the Chesapeake Bay. Unlike this one, they would have been out in the water, typically accessible only by boat. Click on the image for a larger file.

Another shot from the beach at Ferry Point Park in Chester, Maryland (click on the image for a larger file):

Ferry Point is a small park on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, but provided some great photo opportunities.

Another digital infrared image - I left the color intact in this one. IR converted Pentax K10D with DA 17-70mm lens.
