Niagara Nights At The Niagara Falls

This trip to Niagara Falls was my last adventure where I shot exclusively with the Canon 5Dmkii.
Road Through Zion

This was my first time at Zion National Park in Utah. I made the mistake of only planning to be here for one day, not realizing this place was so big with so much to do. All we had time to do was drive through and hike a couple of trails. This time of year,…
Valley Of Fire – The Fire Cave

See a photo of the Fire Cave of the Valley of Fire, and learn how to get visit this hidden location.
The Good Luck Bend

It’s also known as Horseshoe Bend. It’s located just south of Page, Arizona, near the border of Utah. This is the start of the Colorado River out of Lake Powell. The area is known as Glen Canyon. Hanging this photo on your wall could also bring you good luck. 🙂 One magical characteristic of horseshoes…
Hermosa Beach Pier Sunset

This is a photo I took back in 2012. I never got around to processing it, but I’m glad I waited because my Photoshop abilities have improved dramatically since then. This photo is made up of two separate exposures. Without two, the skies would have been blown out.
Buried Alive – Lower Antelope Canyon

I’m struggling to go through all my photos from last year and finish processing them before I get my new Sony A7r. I know once I get that camera, I won’t want to touch my old 5Dmkii photos anymore, even though they are perfectly good.
Artist’s Point at Monument Valley

Finally getting some time to go back through my photos. I haven’t posted much from Monument Valley, and I really think this is one of the more spectacular places I’ve been to in a while. The place almost seems fake or unnatural. I’ve also been playing around a little with the VSCO presets.
Up At The Lower Antelope Canyon

This photo was taken in the Lower Antelope Canyon. I combined three shots captured at different exposures manually to create a single, well-exposed image.
NYC Epic Sunset

I have so many photos of NYC from the Top of the Rock that it’s fun to pick one here and there and go crazy with Photoshop just to see what happens. I’m still learning more and more techniques so I’m getting a lot faster with it. Unfortunately, when I was in New York, I…
NYC From The Top Of The Rock

I’ve finally gotten into processing some of my New York City shots from my 5Dmkii. It’s been fun, but it takes a bit more time since I do the majority of work in Photoshop. This shot has nothing crazy, just a little burn and dodge, color tweaks, and some color overlays. The Raw already looked…
