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….

I just received the beta version of the new product Topaz Restyle today, so I decided to try it out on a few photo’s.  I haven’t gotten too in depth with this one yet, but expect a full review once I get enough time with the software. This product is due to launch on August 8th at a cost of $59.99 but will be offered at a discounted rate 🙂 and make sure you use the coupon code NFPhoto to save 15%  on your Topaz Labs purchases.

Photo Share – Around The Pier

The sunrise wasn’t as awesome this morning as I had hoped, so I changed things up by using a B+W 10 stop ND filter. It’s amazing how a 30 second exposure can totally change the look and feel of a photograph! This one is pretty similar to one I shot last year at Sunset Beach in North Carolina, but I’m liking this one a little better. However both of them have been awarded 🙂  http://www.viewbug.com/photo/3948351

A Walk Through The Sound

 Corolla, NC

This one came from my visit to the Currituck Lighthouse located in Corolla, NC. (You can see more about the lighthouse here http://www.currituckbeachlight.com/about/) You can climb to the top of the lighthouse for a small fee. The line was long and I’ve already been to the top so I skipped that part. Instead I wandered around the grounds looking for different angles to shoot the lighthouse and I found a good one at the end of this walkway.

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.

Off To The Coast

 Sunrise at Sunset Beach, NC

Just three more days until I leave for the coast of North Carolina. I’m totally excited for this trip, can’t wait to get up early every morning head to the beach to capture the sunrise. Relax all day then head out again every evening for more photography 🙂 sounds like a plan to me! Here’s one from last year’s beach trip, which was just after I had attended Trey Ratcliff’s “Art Of Photography” workshop.

Everyone have a great 4th! I plan on grabbing some fireworks photo’s if the weather cooperates. 🙂

 

It was my second day of vacation and this was the sunrise at Sunset Beach, NC.
