More attempts at macro photography – this time some coins, a screw and some kind of winged seed.

Anthony Morganti
During the pandemic I became something of a YouTube aficionado, subscribing to a number of photography related channels. I bumped into Anthony Morganti some time ago, but haven’t thought to post about it here until now.
He describes himself as follows:
I’m a professional photographer and photography educator from Buffalo, New York. In the 1980s, I established a thriving Wedding, Portrait, and Stock Photography business called, Creative Edge Photography in the Buffalo, New York area. I now spend my time teaching photography through workshops and YouTube Videos found on this website and my YouTube channel which currently has over 300,000 subscribers and is adding over 100 subscribers per day. I also mentor students one on one My mentoring program has been full to capacity and closed to new students since September of 2014 and has a waiting list of over 100 people hoping to be mentored by me.
I am a member of the Professional Photographers of America (PPA) and the National Press Photographers Association (NPPA).
My studio is in the historic Ellicott Square Building in downtown Buffalo
On YouTube he provides numerous, excellent and free tutorials on Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Photoshop Lightroom and less frequently on other photography related software.

Around the Neighborhood – Still more fall colors
I think these will be the last pictures of fall colors for this year. Most of the leaves have now fallen from the trees. However, if I come across something really spectacular I can’t promise I won’t take a picture of it.
Taken with a Fuji X-E3 and Fuji XC 16-50mm f3.5-5.6 OSS II and Fuji XF 55-200mm f3.5-4.8 R LM OIS.
Around the Neighborhood – Christmas decorations
I took these pictures several days before Thanksgiving and the Christmas decorations were already out.

Around the Neighborhood – Stained glass at Scarborough Station
On one of my trips into New York City I noticed these stained glass windows on the platform. I’d spotted them before, but I don’t think I ever took a picture of them.
“In 2010, Metro-North began a program called Arts for Transit. As part of the program, an art installation was created for the station. The work, titled Untitled with Sky, comprises six stained glass windows and twelve seats covered in mosaic tiles. Liliana Porter and Ana Tiscornia worked with Willet Hauser Architectural Glass to create the installations. The windows were originally intended for the overpass, where they were installed for a short time. Around 2011, the windows were moved to the southbound platform.” (Wikipedia).
As you’ll see from the above there are six of them. I guess I must have missed two.
