 Happy Thanksgiving

I want to wish everyone a safe and happy Thanksgiving!  I’m very thankful for all of the supporters of my photography, my family and friends!  I would also like to take the time to thank all of the kind people who have helped me along the way of my photographic journey.  Some of these are  Trey Ratcliff   (Stuck In Customs),  Scott Kublin   (HDR Photography Blog),  Varina Patel   (Photography By Varina), Curtis Warwick  (Really Nice Light),   Jon Beard  (JonBeard.com) and the whole Exposure Roanoke Group!

 

Photo Share – “Burn Off”

This one was taken on the Blue Ridge Parkway here in Virginia a few weeks back on a cold and windy morning. I absolutely love landscape photography! There’s just something about getting to a spot, setting up your gear and waiting for the sun to pop up over the horizon that just never gets old!

Fall Colors In The Smoky Mountains

 Smoky Mountain Colors

This year my fall trip to The Great Smoky Mountains National Park was a mixture of fun and photography! The weather was excellent unlike last year when fog took over for just about the whole trip and made for some blah colors. This year with the help of mother nature the colors were top notch and the air was clear for me to capture them. There are so many beautiful spots in the park that I have a hard time picking spots to photograph. I took this one on the Roaring Fork Motor Trail which I found to be full of spots including waterfalls, old structures and houses and of course the beautiful water. My personal favorite spot to stay during my journey is Wilderness at the Smokies, which combines a water park, golf courses and indoor fun center.

New Creation With Topaz B&W Effects

Photo Share – Dreaming Under The Pier

This one was from back from my summer vacation to the Outer Banks of North Carolina, that I just got around to editing.  This one is a simple one image edit using Topaz B&W Effects and Photoshop Creative Cloud. One thing I love about a composition like this is the ability to capture that sense of depth in the image.  The one thing I tried different on this one was to use the fusion express 64bit processing combining Topaz B&W and Photoshop to bring out the details and light in the posts on the pier.

The Monticello Cellar

This past weekend we visited Moticello in Charlottesville, VA. The leaves are starting to change colors but we’ve still got a ways to go yet. I have a few fall spots I want to visit soon!

I grabbed a few good shots on this trip : ) like this one which I captured in the cellar located beneath Monticello. This one was edited using Photoshop, Topaz Clarity and Topaz Black and White Effects.

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….

American Muscle – Car Show Photography

 

I’ve always been into car shows since an early age,  me and my dad would go to a few here and there. Recently I started photographing different parts of the cars, taillights, interiors, emblems and so on. I’m working on creating a good size collection of these images to build a new catalog over on my SmugMug account. Here’s one I took at the Dogwood Festival in Vinton, VA this past year.
