Up North – Fine Art Shoots from North of Florida: Western Virginia

Dec28

We recently had the pleasure of heading out on a few fine art excursions over the winter break. Our trip began in western Virginia, near Bristol, TN – where I managed to get up in time for a gorgeous sunrise over the Blue Ridge Mountains. I recently added a 1.4x teleconverter to our equipment, which allowed me to get up close and personal with both the moon and the blinding sun as it rose over the mountains. By the time the sun crested the rise, it was far too bright to look at. My solution – I would aim slightly to the left, focus the camera, close my eyes, and then shift the camera right until I felt the sun on my eye. It took a few tries, but I was able to get the shot I wanted without seeing spots for the next 6 hours…

Mary and Karl’s Stunning Beach-side Ritz-Carlton Wedding

Nov8

One more post before we’re off to a weekend of shooting! Bryn had the joy of capturing this couple’s wonderful wedding and the baptism of their son – all out on the dusk-lit beach of the Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island. The weather was perfect, and the heavens were literally aligned for a stunning ceremony – complete with a dusk moonrise over the couple’s first dance! What a great evening for a wedding!

Congrats Mary and Karl! As always, check out all our favorite photos below!

Photo of the Day: The Moon Deserves a Halo

Jan21

This evening, I received a hot tip from our friends at ICY Pictures to look up (while outside). This is what I found in the Florida Sky – a glowing moon, Jupiter nestled right next to it, and an ice halo that took up about a 1/3rd of the night sky. Pretty amazing stuff! Check out some of my other favorite starry night photos below!

Photo of the Day: Up, Up, Up and Away!

May19

Here’s the latest edition of our infamous photo of the day! This photo was taken a few years ago in Jacksonville, FL, overlooking the lagoon at Huguenot Park. As the sun set, it provided the perfect back lighting for this amazing columnar thunder cloud. Cap that off with the sliver of the moon, and the great colors, and I just couldn’t help but stop and take a few photos. Enjoy!

Freebie HD Wallpaper – New England Winter Part 4: Snow?

Jan6

Well, here it is – the last installment from our New England fine art trip. Today’s theme is focused on snow. Finally, at the end of our wither trip, we managed to see snow – about 1/4 of an inch of snow. Not exactly the stuff of dreams, but snow all the same. However, by the time the sun set, it was all gone with balmy temperatures in the high 30s. Enjoy the photos!
