Photographing Waterfalls

Yesterday I had the chance to get out and photograph this beautiful 200′ waterfall. Photographing waterfalls usually combines a few things I love hiking (usually to get to the waterfall) and water (I’ve loved fishing since I was a kid). A few new pieces of gear I tried out during this excursion included the new Mind Shift Panorama 180. I will be writing a full review on this bag once I get to test it out extensively, but so far I love it!. The second piece of gear was a new tripod setup, which included the Induro AT 214 legs. The tripod legs worked flawless! Work continues on my Ebook where I will help you take photographs like this of waterfalls stay tuned….

Photo Share – Falling Spring Falls

You can find this waterfall near Covington, VA and it’s easily viewable from the overlook. Spring is on it’s way and you will be seeing more photographs like this once warm weather is here to stay.

Travels For 2014

I’m looking forward to 2014 for sure!!! In the next few weeks I get to visit a couple places Philadelphia, PA and Wilmington, NC all in one week to be exact. 🙂 I’m almost certain taking photographs on the beach will be way more fun than in the cold of Pennsylvania. From frozen fingers to sandy feet I will try to capture something amazing for my followers!

Photo Share – First Sunrise Of 2014

Here’s a shot I took up on the Blue Ridge Parkway on New Years Day… 24 degree’s and frozen fingers… I just can’t shoot with gloves on. Anyone have a recommendation for good photography gloves? Anyway back to the shot this one was 7 exposures using the Canon 6D and the 17-40mm F4L at f/16. Then it was edited using Photomatix 5.0, Photoshop Creative Cloud and NIK Collection.

Rocky Sunrise Featured On ViewBug Social Media

Yesterday I got a surprise email from ViewBug telling me they had selected one of my photographs to be the cover image on their Facebook and Google+ pages! Wow how cool is that! I’m always like a little kid when one of my photographs is shared or picked to be featured! It makes you feel all good inside and work harder to capture something even better than the last one!

This one was from my trip back in the spring to Tybee Island, GA this spot is where the river meets the ocean. If you look closely you can see a tourist on the rocks who was also admiring the sunrise that cold windy morning. This was an HDR shot with the Canon 6D and the 17-40mm F4L lens set at F8. The post processing was done using Photomatix 5.0 and Google’s NIK Collection and then blended together in the end.

As the year draws to a close I start to reflect on my trips throughout the year and start planning for the ones I hope to take this year! Do you have a favorite place you would recommend me visiting?

Darkness Falls Over The Sound

I’m back from my week long trip to the Outer Banks of North Carolina and the trip was wonderful! I captured some amazing images, now it’s time to process all those images and share them all. 🙂

This is one I took over the Roanoke Sound just after sunset it’s a long exposure (30 seconds) taken at a pretty high ISO (3200) using my Canon 6D. I love the colors and the mood of this photo, plus there are the stars in the upper right corner, the reflections in the water.

I’ve decided to add some of the photo’s from this trip to my eBook “Photographing Bodies Of Water” the book will be released in the near future. The book is a story of my journeys and trips photographing different parts of the coast, rivers, streams, ponds and lakes. Along the way in the book I give tips to beginners looking to improve their photography, tips like gear selection, tips on composing photographs and post processing tips.

American Muscle – Car Show Photography

I’ve always been into car shows since an early age, me and my dad would go to a few here and there. Recently I started photographing different parts of the cars, taillights, interiors, emblems and so on. I’m working on creating a good size collection of these images to build a new catalog over on my SmugMug account. Here’s one I took at the Dogwood Festival in Vinton, VA this past year.
