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.

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.

Sunset Over The Intracoastal

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

While on vacation a couple weeks back I wanted to capture a beautiful sunset at the beach. I took the first couple of days to look for spots and this one caught my eye, the colors just seem to compliment each other so well.  This is looking over the Intracoastal Waterway just as you cross the bridge over to Sunset Beach, NC. Enjoy! 🙂
