Sebewa, Michigan.

Portland State Game Area. Pretty out there today.

On Keefer Road, not far north of the railroad tracks. A year ago I made a return trip to Sebewa . I had a specific photograph or two in mind, but neither worked out. The entire set shows evidence that I was in a hurry, though I've forgot the cause. ========== Somehow I'd never previously noticed Weippert's Mill , which was built in 1876, perhaps because it's only easily visible when there's no greenery. So I took an image, managing to overexpose a photograph of a deep-in-the-woods structure despite the shadows and shade. Apparently I'd forgot everything I'd learned about the camera a couple days back. The pic worked out all right, though--it just looks oddly processed. Since I do that all the time, everyone seems to have assumed I did this on purpose. ========== This photograph is an outtake from my 2012 photo-a-day project, 366 Snaps . Number of project photos taken: 24 Title of " roll :" Sebewa Other photos taken on 4/12/2012: Though I was still having difficulties with the FujiFilm camera, I was getting comfortable with the Nikon 1. At least in the garden, where I took 41 flower pix.

When I first moved here, Mulliken's Methodist church shared its minister and ministry with Sebewa, a small place--not really a town--north and west of our village. A year ago today I made a scouting trip--'twas an intentional effort to expand my range of photographic subjects for 366 Snaps . I was a bit surprised to discover that this stretch of Keefer Highway had been paved, since the last time I looked it was gravel. We're probably talking fifteen years, though. Last April 2 was bright , and I was fighting with my still-unfamiliar camera, so virtually all the trip's pix were overexposed. But I found some useful ideas, and would follow up on them later in the year. ========== The railroad tracks I photographed for 366 Snaps are part of the CSX (former C&O/Chessie, former PM) line through central Michigan. The line used to get fairly heavy traffic from both CSX and SOO, originating from Chicago for the Detroit tunnel and on to Toronto. (Or back.) These days the traffic seems to be mostly local. The pic was snapped at Dow Road, which is the Eaton County extension of (Ionia County's) Keefer, a couple miles south of Sebewa. ========== This photograph is an outtake from my 2012 photo-a-day project, 366 Snaps .
