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!

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….

Photo Share – Into The Dense Fog

Yes this one was edited using Topaz Restyle 🙂 this was an old photograph I took at Clingmans Dome in the Smoky Mountains National Park. I never could get the photograph to really have the feel I was looking for… That was until this new product came out and I decided to give it a try… I think it worked perfect!

Around The Pier

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.
