New York City Reflections

Here is one I shot on my last New York City workshop. This was one of the last photos I shot during that trip. It was so cold I could not feel my fingers, my face, my feet, anything at all. I remember thinking “if the photo comes out good, it will be all worth it”

Camera settings: 30 seconds F18 ISO 100

Selfie At Yosemite

I really dislike selfies, specially of my self. This one I’m ok with, I shot this a long time ago at Yosemite National Park before a long night of shooting the stars. I was up there watching the sky all night freezing my butt off. It was an amazing night to say the least. I remember being so scared of bears, at one point I had to walk back to my car to get a something and I was so panicked its funny now that I look back at it. This was by far one of the coolest nights of my life. I shot it from a tripod shorty before the sun rose.

Ocean Drive Reflections

This is one of my favorite shots from Ocean Drive. I was actually teaching one of my Sunset and Night Photography Workshops when I shot this photo. I saw this puddle of water on the floor and I knew I had to get down really low and get a reflection shot of the iconic Colony Hotel. To shoot this I had to get on the ground and I was shooting super wide. I used my 14-24mm lens.

Camera settings: 10 seconds f16 ISO 100

Naples Pier At Dusk

Every time I get the chance to go to the West Coast of Florida to shoot the sunset I take it. This is one of my favorite spots on the coast, it is Naples pier. It is an really cool place to photograph of just watch the sunset.

I can’t think of a time when I shot a bad photo here. This was on a very overcast day, it looked like it was going to start pouring, so everyone left the beach. I had the entire place to my self, it was perfect.

I shot this with a 14-24mm Lens here are my settings:
244 seconds at f/22 ISO 50 on my Nikon D800 (no filters)

Big Ben b&w or color?

The Palace of Westminster after a bit of rain and a nice cup of coffee. Form my last trip to London a few months back. Aka Big Ben. It was a cold wet rainy day and it just kept getting worse as the day went by. But I kept shooting until I count walk anymore from fatigue.

After doing some retouching I couldn’t decide what photo I liked better, so here are both, color and black and white. What one do you like better?

Settings: 1/500 f/14 ISO 400 @ 70mm
