Upper Falls of Sabbaday Falls in New Hampshire
Getting through the winter months around Tokyo is kind of tough for me. The area doesn’t see a lot of snow as it is, and even when it does, it’s not typically very much and doesn’t stick around for long. Mostly things are just cold and dead, waiting for the revival of spring. To be fair, spring brings the cherry blossoms which is well worth the wait, but it’s still tough to sit around so...

Two Stones of the Highland – Lightroom Only
This is a photo I took back in August along Highland Lake in New Hampshire. I’ve shared a couple of photos I took on this evening, but this photo I edited totally in Lightroom. In fact, about 75% of the edits to this photo were done on my iPad in Lightroom Mobile. I’ve written before on why you need to have Lightroom Mobile if you have a mobile device, so here I’ll just say that...

Sunset At Newick’s Lobster House
Today’s edition of my Lightroom Only Series comes from Newick’s Lobster House in Dover, New Hampshire. I don’t know about you, but I’m a big seafood fan, and Newick’s is one of the best places in New England to enjoy some. One of the reasons for that is the amazing view that comes along with the delicious food – as you can see from today’s photo, it’s truly spectacular, especially at sunset. As you can...

Ditching The Landscape In Landscape Photography
There’s a popular song from my high school days by Sister Hazel in which they sing “if you want to be somebody else, change your mind.” While this certainly applies to the much more important area of personal improvement, it also applies to photographic improvement. Although in our case the lyrics might be something more like “change your view.” Changing how you see a scene can make a big difference in your landscape photography, and...

Tips For Working Through Photographic Challenges
During my photo outings I usually have a specific list of images I want to capture. Whether it’s on a mountain trail or a city street, I’m there because I know there’s something that I want to photograph. However, it’s common during these trips to stumble across an eye-catching scene that wasn’t on my list. When this happens, even though I sense something interesting, I may not immediately be aware of what it is exactly,...
