HDR Island Sunset

Just outside of Savannah, GA is Tybee Island which is a small 3 mile island, which happens to be the site where this weeks picture was taken. This was the best sunset during the week I spent on the island, when I processed this photograph I pushed the colors to the extreme side of things.  I like to do this every once in awhile, I can’t help it I just love color! I have another set of brackets of the same sunset taken at a different location and when I process that one I will try and keep it realistic. I have posted lots of new photographs to my portfolio within the last week at www.nfirebaughphoto.com you should head over there and check them out. Prints are for sale with prices starting at $7.99 for 8″x10″ prints.

The Sun Setting Over The Hill

Just Another Sunset

I had a great time with the Exposure Roanoke group on a photo walk at the Greenfield Center in Botetourt,VA. The theme for the walk was bird photography,  as we walked around the lake we identified birds and took some photographs. But before long my eyes left the bird scene and began to wonder around the landscape. The rolling hills made for some different photographs and I captured a few that I think are worth sharing. Below is one of the sun setting just behind the tree over the hill. This was a 7exp bracket using my Canon 6D which was then edited in Photomatix Pro (my favorite HDR software), Lightroom, Photoshop, and Topaz Adjust. This also was a good test for my new tripod from 3 Legged Thing so far I like it. 🙂

Kindred Spirit Mailbox On Bird Island,NC

I Saw It In A Magazine

I visited this spot last year while on vacation not knowing what landscapes awaited me on Bird Island. NC. I first assumed birds so the camera I grabbed for the walk was my T1i and my 70-200mm F4L. On the walk down the beach a little girl approached me and asked “Are you going to the mailbox?” I had no idea what she was talking about and politely said no. After walking what seemed to be eternity I could see a lonely flag blowing in the breeze and as I got closer I could see a path going up to this flag pole. Once I got up to the path I noticed two benches and a mailbox which read Kindred Spirit on the side of it, so I backed up into the surf and snapped off a few photographs of the mailbox. One of these photographs I uploaded to Flickr around last August and it got a little bit of interest, that was until I received a call from Guideposts Magazine asking to use the photo for an upcoming article in the April Edition. To celebrate this event I’m offering 20% off all print orders from www.nfirebaughphoto.com to get this special offer just use the code PUB20 during checkout! I want to send out a special THANKS to all my fans, friends and supporters who keep me going.

Historic Hillsborough North Caolina

Burwell School

 

My son has been playing travel hockey this season, which has meant a few trips to North Carolina. These trips have allowed me to visit some new places and take a few good photographs of some historic locations. This past weekend we visited Hillsborough, NC and one of the places we stopped was the Burwell School which dates back to the 1800’s.  This house was once the home of the Burwell family and also Elizabeth Keckly (Keckley) who was a very successful business woman and created 19th century dresses for many prominent people in the US. To learn more about this historic site in North Carolina please visit this site http://www.burwellschool.org/. Below is an HDR image I shot inside the house which I left at a slight angle because I liked the feel of the picture. Some may disagree on this decision but hey why not try new things and try to stand out? This was created using a 5exp bracket shot using my Canon 6D and my Promote Control the processing was done in Photomatix Pro, Lightroom 4 and Topaz Adjust.

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.

URBEX Exhibit At The O. Winston Link Museum Roanoke,VA

By | Canon T2i, HDR Photography, Photography | No Comments

The O. Winston Link Museum in downtown Roanoke,VA is displaying the work of 10 local photographers in the new URBex ( Urban Exploration) exhibit.  I was lucky enough to have one of my Photographs chosen to be on display thanks to the Exposure Roanoke Group. My picture on display is one that I took under the Walnut St. bridge during sunset, the sky had some amazing colors and it’s an HDR image I created using multiple exposures and edited in Lightroom and Photomatix Pro. I’m currently working on a series of tutorials for how I do my HDR photographs and also some presets I will have for sale shortly for Lightroom 4. Here’s the picture that’s hanging up and if you get a chance to stop by you should check out the museum!
