Took me a while to FINALLY get this shot. Used an off camera flash and reflector.

A few seconds of exposure was all I need to capture this red and blue photograph. Amazing contrast and clarity. One of my favorite carnival shots.

Painting with light the day we had that Meteor shower…not too amazing here. Still Awesome stars though!

One Second. All that was needed. It created a photograph that made me smile. The contrast of a bright carnival light coming out of the left of the pic

Yummmmayyy! These were delicious. At a gathering we had, someone had brought these wonderful Kabobs. So good. This photo is so crisp and clean. Great

I think that this is either a grasshopper or a locust. Couldn't tell. If you know for sure, please let me know! Thanks

Just a reduced shutter speed was all I needed to capture this red, green and, blue photograph. Amazing contrast and clarity. One of my favorite carniv

This little flow was out in our flower pots. I decided to get a close-up, macro image. Then I used Colorstrokes for the first time… Came out well.

My best stars yet

Lets Draw. Took this photo for the Hand Photo competition.

Cool shot. I love the color and abstractness of this shot.

I love this photo so MUCH!

This small wave that is barreling was taken in Hawaii. I was playing around in the surf with a small camera I had with me. Got this shot.

Looking at the stars through a tree… We stopped at a pull off in Hawaii of the highway and I was able to set this shot up. Thankfully no car lights

Star Trails in Hawaii. After my time-lapse, I stacked the Star pictures together for a full star Trail photo. Came out fairly well.

I love the color of these trees… SOOO green!

Behind The Lens

Location

I took it in Kailua Kona Hawaii.

Time

It was late at night because the big Lightning storm started late.

Lighting

Trying my best with timing and trying to keep light pollution out is a challenge. Trial and error is the best way to learn?

Equipment

Nikon d90, now I have a Nikon d810.

Inspiration

Lightning is amazing and I wanted a photo like many other photos of lightning. So awe inspiring

Editing

This image is raw from the camera

In my camera bag

Nikon d810,d90, 50mm lens, 18-270mm lens, 77-300mm lens, 18-55mm. All nikkor lenses

Feedback

Always keep trying, do lots of reasearch and get to know your camera. Trial and error is the best way to learn.
