This red dory stands in stark contrast to the snowy beach and grey skies in Woods Hole on Cape Cod.

I was lucky enough to visit Mission Wolf near Westcliffe, CO during a snowstorm.

We were packing up to leave for home, when I spotted the moon setting behind the mountains. I ran out and captured this image just before it disappear

It looks like a "sand avalanche" in White Sands National Monument.

We were anchored off of Sucia Island, and as the sun dipped lower, a beautiful warm light lit up the sailboats, with the calm water making a nice refl

This photo was taken at the Mission:Wolf sanctuary near Westcliffe, CO. This wolf heard me coming closer and peeked his head up to see who it was!

Location

This shot was taken in San Francisco. The building on the right is the Contemporary Jewish Museum.

Time

Taken early evening.

Lighting

This night wandering around the city was my first attempt at night photography with my new DSLR. I was amazed at the ability to take night shots hand-held, as up until then I shot Velvia slide film. A shot like this would have been impossible to take without a tripod. It opened up a whole new world for me.

Equipment

Hand-held Nikon D7000, no tripod, no flash.

Inspiration

When I saw this angle, the building looked like a huge stealth bomber flying over the city, with two menacing "eyes" looking down.

Editing

Very little!

In my camera bag

Nikon D7000, AF-S Nikkor 18-55 mm 3.5-5.6 lens, AF-S Nikkor 55-200 mm 4-5.6 ED lens, polarizing filter.

Feedback

Be open to see different points of view! Look up, look down, lie on the ground! Move left, move right, learn to crop a scene with your eyes before you even bring the camera up. For this shot it was important to me to just line up the base of each building so neither overlapped the other, and make the museum appear as big or bigger than the tall building on the left.
