 Happy Thanksgiving

I want to wish everyone a safe and happy Thanksgiving!  I’m very thankful for all of the supporters of my photography, my family and friends!  I would also like to take the time to thank all of the kind people who have helped me along the way of my photographic journey.  Some of these are  Trey Ratcliff   (Stuck In Customs),  Scott Kublin   (HDR Photography Blog),  Varina Patel   (Photography By Varina), Curtis Warwick  (Really Nice Light),   Jon Beard  (JonBeard.com) and the whole Exposure Roanoke Group!

 

Photo Share – “Burn Off”

This one was taken on the Blue Ridge Parkway here in Virginia a few weeks back on a cold and windy morning. I absolutely love landscape photography! There’s just something about getting to a spot, setting up your gear and waiting for the sun to pop up over the horizon that just never gets old!

Photographing Downtown Roanoke, VA

This past Sunday I had the pleasure to walk around and photograph the city of Roanoke, VA with some members from Exposure Roanoke.  Exposure Roanoke is a local meetup group who host numerous events for photographers of all skill levels, from hikes to photographing people in need. If you’re interested in photography you should definitely check them out!

 

Photo Share – Sunset On The Tracks

My Canon 6D is off to CPS for repairs…. so for this walk I was using my trusty Canon T2i, which by the way I just replaced with a Canon 60D this week (thanks to B&H Photo for the awesome deal! *body only $599 until Aug 31st*)    I might miss the old camera… it’s the one I cut my teeth on and learned after so many mistakes and not once did it let me down….

HDR Photography With The Sony NEX-5N

 

I’ve been trying to work on my eBook Photographing Bodies Of Water  which is going to be “A beginners guide to taking photographs of water” the past few weeks. Mother Nature must have other plans though, every time I plan to shoot it rains or storms… So I bought a waterproof housing for my Sony NEX5N now that won’t be a problem. 🙂 The housing allows me to use the 18-55mm kit lens and gives me full control of all the buttons on the camera other than adjusting the lens. So far the image quality looks great and I have no complaints! This camera I bought mainly for my walk around camera, but with the release of firmware version 1.02 now it has more use. With now being able to shoot a 3 frame bracket with up to 3ev exposure, HDR photography is now a reality. Sign up for my email list if you’d like to receive updates when my eBook is released!

Snowy Weather In The Roanoke Valley

Crazy Weather In Virginia

Man the weather sure has been weird lately…. a mixture of snow, 70 degree days, more snow, 6″ of rain and more snow….  I’m really not sure what to think about all of this. But on the photography side of things it has allowed me some warm days to get out and capture some sunsets and sunrises. After the first snow storm I went out to capture the sunrise with the fresh snow on the ground and sticking to the tree limbs the final image was one of the best so far in 2013 and was featured on the front page of the Salem Times Register on February 7, 2013.
