I feel like a constant in my photography is a plan that goes sideways yet still works out. I did an astrophotography workshop. I wanted to get better at shooting the night sky. So We did some classroom talking and then headed out into the world to test our new skills. We arrived at Concho…
Quite often I am looking for the epic light and the grand landscape. Its like the opposite of tunnel vision. I will see everything as a whole and miss the small details. Covid and work and life got in my way of getting any Rhododendron shots, which I really wanted this year. I was blessed…
Work took me to Hinton West Virginia this week. Hinton is one of my favorite small town. I have always felt it is underrated as a destination. With every trip to Hinton a stop at Sandstone Falls is a must. So I stopped in late in the evening just catching the sunset. I was hoping…
Rivers and bridges and colorful skies are what I dream of. This shot was on the water front in Wheeling West Virginia. There is not much I can say that the photo does not already tell you. I setup a little late and missed the sunset, but the sky forgave me and offered this beautiful…
Finally feeling better and excited to get out and capture some beauty. I was at the Quincey Hill overlook and a few wildflowers caught my eye. I wanted to capture a beautiful sunset that evening and I decided to try and incorporate the flowers into the shot. I got my tripod as low as I…
Still struggling with Covid after effects I had trouble getting out and about this week. I did have the opportunity to work with my 15 year old niece on shooting the strawberry moon. Last summer I had given her an old camera and a few lenses I used to use for time lapse photography. I…
Last week I could not find epic light. This week epic light found me. I set up my tripod along the Ohio River in Williamstown, WV and waited as the sunset. The sky put on a show of colors that danced through the clouds. It was a moment where the beauty was unreal. I love…
If you saw last weeks post you will know I was struggling with Covid. I am feeling much better, however, I continue to struggle with stamina and energy levels. With those issues I went looking for an easier shot. I headed over to Marietta Ohio and found an image of an old railroad bridge. I…
It finally happened. Covid has hit and while I am thankful for not being overly ill, my energy level has suffered greatly. After a week of barely getting out of bed I needed to get out and find some fresh air. I headed slightly out of town to Mountwood Park and enjoyed a sandwich in…
This week I find myself on the Road again. I stopped at Beauty Mountain for some breathtaking views. Time and conditions may not always be on your side so improvising is always a potential. In the harsh sun I added a 10 stop filter and tried to get the cloud movement. It was an enjoyable…
