First episode in a series of videos looking back over the years to what I've labeled 'Zippo Lighter Moments'. A Zippo Lighter Moment refers to my old friend Ralph who used an old Zippo Lighter to light his world famous pipe tobacco. The clink...zip of that old lighter served to provide an audible anchor to many outdoor adventures and this series will explore and relive some of the more memorabl...

Photographing Backlit Ring Billed Gulls on Barren River Lake
Wow! I can hardly wait to get back into good enough shape to go hike again! Thanks for bringing me along!
I love canoeing! Thanks!
Great stuff! Thanks!
Great footage! I got some cool footage of some bucks sparring last year and the buck was close to the size of the one in the end of this video. Thanks for sharing your experience. I love the Kentucky woods. I have some great friends who live up there.
Thanx for the comment...i am fortunate to live in an area where I can step outside my backdoor, walk a couple hundred yards, and watch the deer interact with each other...thnx again
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL Photographs. What focal length were most shot in, I’m guessing 28mm or 35mm? Thanks in advance.
It varied some but most were made using 18mm.
Beautiful images
Absolutely beautiful sharing , the leaves colour are so beautiful , beautiful flower , beautiful jungle scenery are beautifully captured , amazing , mesmerized❤
Absolutely, the beauty of Indian Summer in Kentucky is a sight to behold.
@@BeyondTheCampfireByKeith its so nice of you to be able to capture it on video , in my country we don't have this kind of beauty because we don't have 4 season , our climate is only sunny and rainy , equatorial climate. Thanks for sharing. 😊
Just came across your channel! Used to work with you at the Corvette Museum. Awesome video!
Reminds me of an old saying: if you don't want to get wet, what the He'll are you doing in a canoe.😂
Thnx for your comment...and certainly some truth to it as well, pretty funny too :)...Been canoeing for over 50 years...consider myself pretty experienced...only twice in that 50 + years have I tipped a canoe...once with an inexperienced person holding down the front end (also on the Buffalo)...and once as described in the video. Events in the video did play out as described though...tying it to a Skull Bluff legend...well...all a tongue and cheek bit of color to an unfortunate mishap and the legend...just a play on the many other legends and folklore stories associated with the Buffalo River...thanx again...:)
Magnificent, Mr. Bridgman. Thank you.
Thanx...do appreciate that!
Oh I’m certain you in fact did hear a coyote, and turn your canoe over, both are quite common along the river. But as far as the bat house aka skull bluff. The NPS give the place its name a few years back, I cannot remember what year for certain I’m guessing mid to late 90s. I’m 54 and have played along the Buffalo all of my life, less now than ever. As the river is not the same with all the tourism and over aggressive NPS. It just to be a very enjoyable place and there are stretches that aren’t overrun. But for the most part it’s lost to most of the older locals. To much publicity. The kayaks have pretty well taken over. I’m proud you enjoy the tranquility, but it’s a far cry from the place I grew to love as a young man. And not for the better. I still use the lower Buffalo quite a bit, but I’ve traded my boat for a horse and have land and a cabin adjoining the lower Buffalo river wilderness. But even that is changing, more and more people every year. If you ever want to learn more about the river and hear the true facts I’d suggest, not talking with people that didn’t grow up here. Talk to people that have spent a lifetime here. Feel free to comment on this as I get notified and I’d be more than happy to share information. Thank you
I’m not sure where you’ve gotten this misinformation, but very far from the truth. You might want to stop and visit with some of the local people, and not believe everything the NPS or some if not of the canoe rentals are telling tourists. This story of “skull bluff” is very far from any truth. The place was know only as the bat house for years, until the NPS decided that the name glamours enough for the tourism. Being born and raised here I can assure anyone that it will forever be the bat house to anyone that truly knows the area. But this story is quite funny. Thank you very much for the laughs. I certainly hope people won’t believe it.
Thanx Rod for the comment. Just to set the record straight...the events described in the story actually did happen...camping across from Skull Bluff, the coyote howl just before a random gust of wind tossed my canoe across the gravel bar, the next day's gust of wind that shoved my canoe into a sweeper causing the capsizing and the ruined camera gear...all of that did happen. As far as the legend of Skull Bluff...it's just one of many such stories that swirl around the Buffalo River...stories like Ghosts, and buried treasures, and even Big Foot sightings. It's a harmless, tongue in cheek story, like all the others, that adds color to a wonderfully beautiful location. Anyway...thanx again...all comments are welcome.
Ya' picked a nice place fer the trip. With a friend we did 6 days on Kentucky Lake. The video's are long...but ya' can skip. Very nice paddle. Thanks. ZZ.
Nice trip. Thanks for taking us along. JT Barren County, KY
Glad you enjoyed it
All i love ❤ !
Naw, digital B&W don't hold a candle to film, its to over processed and contrived. Now its art, and just my opinion, nothing more.
Beautiful! I can’t wait to read it!! And I recognized Tim’s piece as well.
Nice video Keith. Thanks for taking us along with you. Have a great week. JT Barren County, KY
Very nice ! Love the idea
Thanks for sharing, Keith. One of the most iconic sounds of my life is the sound of that lighter. I directed a play a few years ago which required the use of a Zippo lighter, and especially the first time we used the prop, it awakened such a strong essence of Daddy, I had to take a moment to move past it. He would love that you are documenting these moments, although he was too humble to understand how he figures into the title. Thanks, again!
Nice video Keith, I can relate to your video because I used to smoke a pipe, my wife loved the smell. I still have my Zippo's. One is plain, the other was my uncle Rene's (my mother's brother), it has a picture of the U.S.S. Redwing - MSC200 on the front of the lighter, that's the minesweeper ship he served on when he was in the Navy. JT
Thanx JT...I've been known to puff on a cigar or two from time to time, but have not graduated to smoking a pipe...I just might have to give it a try...:)
Nice video Keith, My favorite time to explore is after the leaves fall off the trees, and up until they start coming back. Nice hike, thanks for taking us along. JT
Thanks for sharing
Hello Beyond The Campfire, It was nice to meet you at the lake this morning. I hope you had a great canoe trip. Nice video and camp, I really enjoyed it. JT Barren County, Kentucky ( Scenic Driveways on TH-cam )
Good talking to you guys this morning...thanx for visiting...:)
Beautiful work! So classic - nicely done.
😅what did one buck say to the other buck?
This is a bucking good time
I wonder how many of those have been through my old place.
This area is being overrun with them so I'd image there has been a good number...
They are quite beautiful photographs in tneir own right.
What a relaxing video
I love your campfire description. Camping in fall and winter is wonderful, especially when there is a campfire.
Hello from Virginia. Outstanding video.
Thanx Dave...appreciate it.
Take care @@BeyondTheCampfireByKeith
Very nice, so relaxing. Looks like an awesome time.
Thanx again...
Excellent video, the cold Winter is coming on fast. New friend here.
...and thanx again...
My pleasure @@BeyondTheCampfireByKeith
Enjoyed the video. I need to navigate that way!
Thnx for watching...:)
Early colors for fall. Nice.
Thank you for an excellent video Keith. So well narrated and produced it has been pleasure to watch. Obviously Adam has had a big influence on your craft, particularly the high contrast images and the dark skies. I too am a landscape photographer (fergusbrucephotography) but I mainly tend to work in colour (HDR) these days although my passion is monochrome, in particular architecture (not on the web site). In the days of film I used to use a red lens filter to darken the skies but I've yet to experiment with the on a DSLR (not sure if that would work or not?), or in the software. Any advice on how you achieved this would be very much appreciated. Keep up that good work!
Hey there...thnx for your comment, very much appreciated. i plan on making a short video or possibly writing a post on my blog site (beyondthecampfirebykeith.blogspot.com) about how I achieve the Ansel Adams look...just have not done so yet. To keep it short and to the point, i will take a color image but look for qualities in the sky and landscape that will translate well into black and white. I achieve the dark sky in two ways usually combining two techniques to get the final results. i use Silver Efex Pro2 from Nik which is plugin software inside my Photoshop Elements main image software. Within Silver Efex you have various color channels that can be manipulated along with several filters that can be applied (Red, Orange, Yellow, Blue, Green....) using a combination of these along with a tweak of contrast and brightness, is how I get the dark sky. There are also various sliders and curves that can be used along with selecting different types of simulated black and white film types. There are various other tweaks i do depending on the image, but fundamentally I try to keep it rather simple. Thanx for asking. I also use a polarizer filter which deepens the blue of the sky which in turn helps to generate the dark b&w sky
Splendid photos!
Beautiful images,
Very nicely done, Keith! I like the "behind the scenes" section too.
Beautiful images! I look forward to more of this project as a Kentucky local.
Very nice! Thank you for sharing. Regards, Randy in Arizona
