Tybee Island Lighthouse Mid Day

 

No tripods allowed sir! You’re going to have to either leave that with us or take it to your car…. The dreaded words!

I can understand not up in the lighthouse maybe, but come on give me a break. Anyway if you plan to visit the Tybee Island Lighthouse leave the tripod in the car. It’s no use to argue with the lady at the ticket booth, it will get you nowhere… So this photograph was taken about mid day as I was going up into the lighthouse, nothing fancy, no fancy post processing ( other than to remove the people standing in my way) I really wish I had updated the firmware on my Sony NEX-5N before this trip or even put it in my bag for that matter. I can shoot handheld HDR’s with it fairly well I have recently found out… like the last photograph I posted “Sunset Through The Purple Vetch” handheld 3 exposures while lying on my belly.

Wanted to share a coastal themed picture to get me in gear for my trip next weekend to the coast of North Carolina…. OBX here we come! I can’t wait to wake up early in the morning to grab those awesome sunrises on the beach and the late evening sunsets at the many lighthouses, piers, and marina’s. Stay tuned plenty of photographs to come!  Oh and the NEX will be in my camera bag!

Pastel Sunset – Tybee Island, GA

One of my favorite things to photograph are sunsets, there’s always that chance of surprise. It’s kind of like you never know what you’re going to get, sometimes they are exploding with color and light. Then other times they are just kind of drab and lack luster but no two are ever the same. This was a sunset I photographed during my trip to Savannah Georgia earlier this year. I’m getting kind of excited since I’ve got another coastal trip coming up in just a few weeks, this time it’s to the Outer Banks, NC.  I absolutely love photographing coastal areas… lighthouses, the beach, wildlife, it seems you can’t go wrong!  What’s your favorite things to photograph at the beach?

Photographing Bodies Of Water

 

I’m working on my first ebook “Photographing Bodies Of Water”. My goal for this book is to give the readers some tips on setting up for the shot and to make those pictures come to life with tips and tricks for processing those images. This book will cover different conditions like cloudy days, bright sunshine and sunsets. The release date for this ebook will be early Summer 2013 with a cost of $6.99.   So if you would like to learn more about HDR Photography or photographing bodies of water this book is for you.

 

Below is an example of what I will show you how to do in this book.
