Recently we had a pretty good storm roll through the area and when I saw how bad it was, I picked up my gear and headed outside! I grabbed my lighting kit and I hooked up my umbrellas so I could shield my camera from the rain. It was slightly windy and I had to boost my ISO to get a fast enough shutter speed to stop the movement, Although I still had to wait for almost no movement to get it really sharp. I had a great time taking these photos and I love the Canon 100mm Macro, Which I have a review (Coming Soon). I took this photo using my Induro Adventure Series Tripod and you can find a review HERE. Which I love that tripod! I also linked my camera to my MacBook Pro, I wanted to

The parties are always late at night, sometimes all night and its great! When I get Invited to a party, which is usually a few days ahead, sometimes not. The day of the party I get my check list out and starting checking and re-checking all my gear and making sure is ready to go and charged. Having a check list is such a great idea, its a life saver. Once I forgot batteries for my camera and my flash, talk about a big mistake. It was solved by walking to a gas station that was down the block. It was funny I emptied his battery supplies, I think he thought I was crazy! I took the photo

We went to a local state park and walk along the river for about 4 hours, We all took great photos. I took this one on a little stream heading towards the main river, I wasn’t the only photographer who was taking photos of this little dam, so I’m hoping that this image fits with the rest of them. It was a great day for a photo walk, It was cloudy and not to much sun and no rain. I have just purchased a few ND filters and I wanted to give them a try this day and I think they work really well. The little part of the dam had fallen away and you could see below the water and get that detail. It also

I have been lying on my stomach all over the place looking to see what is going on underneath my feet! I have been on a photographic hold for the last week and I have been just swamped lately. My family has been looking to move back to my home town in hershey, pa. So I have had no time to get out and take photos. So for that I’m sorry. I took this photo on Struble Trail in Downingtown,PA. It is a very awesome trail near my home. I always love walking it and taking my camera along for the ride. I will be attending a walk-about tomorrow with some

I packed up my gear and did a quick search on local laws pertaining to the power station. I wanted to make sure that you could still pull off the road and take a photos of it. They have been cracking down on people stopping their cars close to the plant because all the new Anti-Terrorism laws. Well, I didn’t find anything saying no, so I packed the family and we went on a small trip. When we got close to the plant, I was looking for great angles and views. I was raining quite a bit and I didn’t want to get my camera to wet. But I set it to Aperture mode
