Monday morning early…. 3am early….. I geared up and headed over to Botany Bay hoping to get in and see if the clear skies would hold. I wanted to photograph the milky way above the trees that are so starkly contrasted against the beach and waves. With the trees leafless branches […]
A few weeks ago Josh Carlisle and I jumped in Kayaks with all our gear and paddled out to Capers Island about 3 miles offshore from Charleston. It took us a little bit to squash it all in but eventually we were ready to go. As we paddled through the creeks and sound we […]
Three things that I look for when photographing landscapes are a dramatic background, good light, and a solid foreground. In this post I want to focus on just the foreground. This is a part of a series on composition in which foreground plays a major role.

The foreground is key to leading the […]
Choosing a subject and finding the best composition
When you are out in the field how do you go about finding and choosing the subjects you photograph? Does it come easy to you? Is it something you need to work at?

This fall I headed up to camp and photograph the fall foliage in Western North Carolina. Last year we went out to Colorado and Utah as a family and this year we decided to take some time and camp in the changing leaves. We hit a lovely family campsite called Honeybear Campground just outside […]
The temperature has been see-sawing all over the place right now. Down one week then back up the next. Today it was hovering around 80!! In December! Next week it’s going to be below 50. The following week I’m headed to Rhode Island, and the temperatures will be 20-40 degrees. Sheeeeesh! […]
Glorious golden morning light bathed the water, marsh and lighthouse as the sun rose into the sky. I had met up with Athena for an sunrise shoot at the Bodie Island Lighthouse. Sunrise was spectacular and the light was perfect to pick out the vibrant greens of the mid summer marshes. […]
