Flower Girls
Sunflowers always make for a perfect scene for a summer photo shoot.
Play Time
This image was captured during a recent outing with the kids. It was very hot and everyone was ready to leave, but we still needed a final shot. We decided to let the kids relax in the shade for a bit, and their little giggles made for a perfect capture.
Solitude
While exploring Bar Island in Acadia National Park, I noticed this solo house standing out in the distance. I decided to use my Tamron 150-600mm at 600mm to isolate the house.
Smile
The unscripted smile of a child can light up even the darkest of forests.
Evening Fog
During a trip to Chapman State Park in Clarendon, PA I found myself walking near the lake during sunset. As the fog started to roll in, I found myself standing there with my camera, and what I thought was the wrong lens. I had my Tamron 150-600mm lens which I typically reserve for wildlife photography on my Canon 5D Mark IV. I ended up using that lens with a very high ISO to capture this mysterious and dramatic image.
Forest Fog
This image was captured at Chapman State Park in Pennsylvania. The sun was quickly setting and I was running out of light. I only had my Tamron Sp 150-600MM f/5-6.3 Di VC USD lens attached to my Canon 5D Mk IV. This is absolutely not a landscape lens. I managed to get this shot as the sun completely dissapeared behind the mountains. This image won 1st place in the 2018 Forest Park Nature Center photo contest for the landscape category.
1955 Ford - Morning Fog
This is not my usual photography subject, but I saw this truck while at Kinzua State Park in Pennsylvania and immediately had this image in mind. The morning was foggy and the blue of the truck was the standing out against the orange glow of the fog. The image was edited in Photoshop to remove the other colors from the scene.
Stand Out
While hiking at Marilla Reservoir in Bradford, PA during a foggy morning sunrise I noticed this solo tree across the lake. The golden leaves were such a strong contrast against the dark green evergreens.
Steps of Time
While walking near Chillicothe, Illinois, we found these old iron steps that had been overcome by the trees and years of growth. Some of the trees have bricks inside embedded within them.
Snowy Day
These two trees are usually in the middle of a marsh. However, on this day, Banner Marsh (near Canton, IL) was frozen and the falling snow made for an amazing backdrop and ground cover.
Custer Park, SD
This image was taken from the Needles highway in Custer Park. The old tree has so much character.
Pikes Peak Highway - Pike National Forest
This image was captured on Pikes Peak highway on the way to the summit. When I captured the image I had a vision of this being in black and white, and still cannot decide if I like the color or black and white better.
