Description

Sunset on the square

Reflections

Someone else out for an early morning stroll.

Once you find yourself upon a path deeper into the wilderness of the soul it is much harder to return to the you you that you used to know.

Description

Nature has a huge impact in my life.

This beautiful old building was about to get a facelift and I wanted to capture the bright vibrancy of it's history before they made it look bran

I see Dragons

This was my neighborhood when living in Vermont and the storms rolling in over the mountains were always a sight to behold.

Heron

My dad once drove this old car when I was very young and I can still remember riding along singing Rambling Man as he would take me home.

One of my favorite things to do as a photographer is to get lost...

Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken at the edge of Springfield Missouri. It has the best wide open sky views.

Time

I was driving home from work late one afternoon and found myself awestruck by the breathtaking sunset happening as I drove so I pulled over next to this gorgeous field at the edge of town.

Lighting

I let the sunset do the talking with this one. Mother Nature didn’t need any help from me.

Equipment

This was actually taken with my cell phone as I don’t carry my camera to and from work.

Inspiration

The colors of the sky and the silhouette of the building in the background made me think of chiaroscuro, which is one of my favorite styles of painting.

Editing

Thankfully not a lot of post processing was necessary as you can adjust while shooting with a cell phone.

In my camera bag

I normally shoot with either a Canon or a Nikon when I’m out taking landscapes but somedays you just have to use what is on hand.

Feedback

Take the time, stop, be in awe.
