Photographing Waves

Playing In The Ocean

 

This year during vacation I ventured out into the ocean about knee deep with my Induro Tripod and Canon 60D fitted with the 70-200mm and shot wave after wave as they rolled in. It was a lot of fun trying to capture both the beauty of nature and the power of the ocean. I tried many different shutter speeds from .5 second to 1/60th trying to blend both the motion and stopping time at that perfect moment. I found this to be very therapeutic and calming even though having your camera gear in the mighty ocean would have frightened me to death a few years ago.

Football Portraits

Football Portraits

 

This year my son started a new sport Football so to bring in the new sport I shot a couple football portraits.  This one is a composite portrait meaning the subject was shot in a studio location on a white background and then the background was swapped out later in Photoshop.  I love shooting these things they are much different than my normal work! These allow me to mix the artistic backgrounds with a portrait, to create a one of a kind portrait.

For more information or if you’d like to have your own Sportrait session feel free to contact me.

This is a composite portrait shot in a studio setting adding the background in to complete the image. For more information contact me on my blog at www.nfirebaughimages.com

Photo Share – Signs Of Spring

 

Sometimes the simple things are often overlooked when out taking photographs. Often there are amazing photographs waiting to be taken right under your nose. Like this simple bloom I found on a tree today it could have been easily missed. I used a Canon 60D with a 100mm f2.8 macro lens to capture this image during the early morning light.

Topaz Simplify Review

Topaz Simplify Edits

I was contacted earlier this week to try out Topaz Labs Simplify, at first I wasn’t so sure about this one. The first few images I saw created with this plugin just didn’t appeal to me. But after thinking about it I decided what the heck and downloaded it to give it a go… I’ve been very pleased with all the products from Topaz Labs they help me create my art work time and time again.  Like this one below a photograph I took over the fall in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.  Simplify turned an ordinary photograph into something totally different and I’m no painter that’s for sure… It would take me a year to paint that lol.

2013 Year In Review

Looking Back At 2013

Another year has almost come and gone. Looking back through this years photo’s a few stand out from the rest, for one reason or another. I had the chance to visit some new places this year like my trip in the spring to Savannah, GA. That trip was probably the most memorable of the year, I captured lots of great moments and landscapes some of which I have yet to share.

Some Of The Good

Throughout the year I feel  I made significant progress in my photography goals I set for the year.  One of the biggest goals I had set was to be published in a major publication, which I accomplished in the April/May edition of Mysterious Ways by Guideposts Magazine.  I was featured on the Outdoor Photographer Website back in June which was a great honor to have my work shown along side some of the best landscape photographers in the world. I created my first ever Landscapes & Nature Calendar for 2014 which is now available to order for $25.00.  This past week I have the featured photograph on the ViewBug Facebook and Google+ Pages.  So with all that I must say it’s been a great year and I hope to continue in this direction in 2014.

Some Of The Bad

I dropped my Canon 6D while visiting the Outer Banks of North Carolina, but Canon CPS came through and had it fixed in a few days.  But the worst thing that happened in my life this year was losing a part of our family.. Lance our Siberian Husky passed away after 13 years of being a family’s best friend.

 Looking Forward To 2014

I hope to visit and explore new and exciting places this coming year and I will share these places with the world. My first ebook will be released in early spring of 2014 and possibly a second one shortly after that.  I’m looking forward to creating tutorials and videos to go along with my photographs in 2014 to bring an even better behind the scenes and helping others who want to learn.

We’ve recently added a new member to our family Angel who is our 12 week old Siberian Husky and a handful to say the least. 🙂

Here’s to a Happy Holidays to everyone!
