3 Tips For Beautiful Beach Photography
As a native Floridian it’s natural for me to love the beach, and as a photographer it’s just as natural for me to love taking photos of them.

Sunset At Newick’s Lobster House
Today’s edition of my Lightroom Only Series comes from Newick’s Lobster House in Dover, New Hampshire.

Ninenzaka literally means “two year slope,” though it takes far less than two years to traverse the slope unless you’re an extremely slow mover.

Jumping The Gun On The Sun
As a photographer there are few experiences more enjoyable than photographing a spectacular sunset. But there are two things I’ve observed in this regard that I’d like to share today, in hopes of helping you get get better sunset photos yourself. Firstly, people tend to leave shortly after the sun goes over the horizon. This isn’t just a tourist phenomenon either – photographers with tripods and expensive gear will pack up shop as soon as...
