Glow of Sunrise God answered our prayers for beautiful sunrises and sunsets every day of the CAPTURE Kansas workshop last week! In fact, the last sunrise of the workshop was far beyond what I expected. I scouted Lake Shawnee beforehand and wasn’t overly impressed....
We are having a great time here at the CAPTURE Kansas workshop! We shot the sunrise at an abandoned home built in 1878 and spent some time at an old, abandoned barn close by learning all about metering modes and exposure compensation. During the afternoon, we...
Despite the fact that it rained most the day, I went out scouting anyway! I love the Kansas countryside. And I love it more with each passing day. I didn’t really think I would, being from West Virginia, but the wide open prairie of golden grass dotted with lonely...
I didn’t have much time for planning out the next day. It was 10:00 at night and I was leaving bright and early the next morning for a week of vacation and scouting for future CAPTURE California workshops! Where should I stop tomorrow? I knew what route I would be...
Over the last few days in Alaska, there were a whole lot of places we scouted for next year’s CAPTURE Alaska workshop. Moving into September, the rainy season started to let up, but for the most part, Alaska continued to hide the essence of it’s glory in the...
On our two-day excursion down to the Kenai Peninsula this weekend, I would have to say this was one of my favorite places we stopped to take pictures. If you are ever driving the scenic Seward Highway between Anchorage and Seward, make sure to stop and enjoy this...
Last night and this afternoon we explored the area around Hatcher Pass, a 45 minute uphill drive from Wasilla. What I loved about this place was the fact that we were close to the mountains, traversing the subalpine and alpine zones. I didn’t know exactly what that...
Words can not describe how incredible the landscape is up here in Alaska! I’ve never seen such vastness and variety. In preparation for future CAPTURE workshops in Alaska, I’ve been traveling around with my exceedingly hospitable and educational tour guides, the...
Glade Creek Grist Mill, West Virginia My brother Jonathan and I stopped in at Babcock State Park, West Virgnia on our way back from the CAPTURE North Carolina workshop. Though I had driven past it by less than twenty minutes away dozens of times, I had never taken...
The CAPTURE NC Team So here’s a pictorial summary from last week’s CAPTURE North Carolina workshop! We prayed often on our way to our shooting locations for sunrise and sunset that it would stop raining and not once did it hinder us from taking pictures. On the...
Finished a fabulous day of shooting in the North Carolina highlands today with an awesome group of photographers on this CAPTURE North Carolina workshop! Here’s some snapshots of our time this morning shooting sunrise right off the Blue Ridge Parkway. We are all...
My brother Jonathan and I have spent the last few days hiking and scouting out the Linville area in final preparation for the CAPTURE North Carolina workshop! Even in as naturally beautiful a location as this section of the Blue Ridge Parkway, “wow” pictures...
Despite the late hour, I can’t help but announce what I’ve been working on all day long. CAPTURE Kansas. That’s right! The third and final CAPTURE Photography Workshop to be held in 2013. Mark your calendars for October 17-19! Imagine that, it’s still more than two...
Of all the pictures I have ever taken, I can’t think of one single image that I have taken in the state of Maryland! That is, until a few weeks ago. On a weekend excursion to the Normoyle’s home in Dickerson, MD, our families took a hike close to their home to a...
The CAPTURE Alaska page has been up for a while already, but I thought it would be good to officially announce it; with the 4th of July behind us now, August will be here before we know it! Besides, I have purchased my plane tickets and there’s no turning back now!...
Grandfather Mountain State Park isn’t your typical walk in the park! Even the parks main attractions are extreme. The “singing bridge” boasts of being 1 mile above sea level and the short hike from the bridge to McCrae peak (the closest peak to the bridge) is the...
One of my favorite things about the Blue Ridge mountains is the abundance of waterfalls! Crabtree Falls is a gorgeous, perfectly shaped, 70ft waterfall on milepost 339 along the Blue Ridge Parkway. Reaching the falls required a one mile hike downhill, and a rocky...
Imagine having this view out your living window! It was just so handy to throw on a jacket and step outside this morning at this quaint, little house that my Uncle is letting us stay at for the week! Sunrise over Grandfather Mountain I thought about quite a few...
Just added more than 50 new pictures to my portfolio; click on the picture below to get a fresh wave of inspiration from creation! And for the effect, when you’re viewing the collection, click “Dim the Lights” under the “Menu” button that appears when you hover...
Hadn’t posted a new wallpaper in a while so, here’s a shot I thought was pretty nice from the beautiful state of Oregon. Latourell Falls is one of those off-the-beaten-path gems that I happened to see a sign for along the road I was traveling en route to another...
