Summer Sunset on the Pemigewasset
The location of today’s photo holds some special memories for me. My wife is from New Hampshire, and as a child grew up camping with her family at this location. So after we married I was lucky enough to get to join in on this family past time. The river in the photo is of course beautiful, but it also has a mouthful of a name. The river is called the Pemigewasset (pronounced pem-ee-juh-wah-set), and...
Half Clean at Nezu Jinja

I know a lot of people like light trail photography, but not everyone knows how to do it. So using this photo I take you from the location where I shot it all the way through my post processing workflow. This photo was taken here in...
