That’s right, this was the last year that students will be attending Park Street School ending a 115 year run!
I was actually looking for a detailed history of the school but could not find one online.
If anyone knows of such an item please let me know!

I had the privileged of being able to take some shots when we were in Springfield in August.
It was AWESOME! But don’t take my word for it!

Of course to me, it doesn’t get any better than the auditorium:

How cool is that right? The gym was a close second but it was still a really nice opportunity to be able to walk through the school and see some of the sights I had not seen in over 2 decades!

This HDR was a little over the top BUT I really loved the blue tones in the sky, wicked blue!

Check out the night fisherman too; bonus!

I went long on the exposure, liking the way the red light from the lighthouse was running (shining) into the night.

These star shots were like 15mins long I think.

They would have been even better if not for all the light noise (car head lights)

The light/salt/barnacles on the rocks make it look like snow! Pretty neat IMO.

And so ends the Nubble pictures (I think)! I hope you enjoyed them :-)

Here’s a good example of HDR vs a traditional exposure.

Bascially the same composition but check out how the HDR really amps up the colors, specifically the saturation.

BUT, there is a trade off, usually that pertaining to noise. The HDR’s will typically have a lot more noise.

However, being the saturation junkie that I am, i can’t help but love the HDR’s and how they “pop”.

I didn’t love the rock so much, it just happened to be the best place to hide from a brief rain shower!

The sun came out! Really made the rocks shine and the water glean.
