    Morning walk around the rose garden to take Infared photos using the Canon EOS M with a 720ns IR Filter. Liked how the sculpture and the path leads the eyes structure behind it and the trees provided a background that added a 3d effect to the overall image.

    This is Holy Nativity Church in Rockledge, PA. I've passed this church a hundred times and this time I decided to go out and make some photographs. I walked around the church photographing it from many different angles and perspectives, both using a regular color DSLR, and also a DSLR converted to record Infrared light. This image is an Infrared look at the church and surrounding environment. There is a saying in the Infrared world, "If there is magic to be found in Infrared, it will be found in

    Title or Location: Quakake, PA (Rush Twp. - NE Schuylkill County)
    This photo was taken November 5, 2023 at 3:45 PM. While walking around my property looking for a subject to photograph, I thought of a technique I recently heard of to move the camera while using a slow shutter speed. With the Nikon D3500 in Manual mode, f/22, 1/1.6 sec., ISO 100, 18mm, I clicked off the first photo. Thinking it to be too dark, I readjusted my settings and took 6 more exposures. Turns out the dark photo was the keeper.

    During Sunset on Oct 26, I decided to head to the lookout spot at Hawk Mountain to take some scenic pictures of the Autumn Season. Once I made it to the spot, I saw a couple playing the guitar together further down from the lookout spot and decided to take some pictures of them. The couple, the ocean of autumn colored leaves, and the aesthetics of the guitar all looked so beautiful to me and I?m glad I was able to get this captured. I hope everyone enjoys it as much as I do!Captured with my

    Horseshoe Bend near Page Arizona. A great place to take a sunset photo since the sun sets directly behind it as shown and as it does it lights up the foreground rocks nice and orange. You will need to bracket your exposures and blend in HD to get the best photo if you want a star burst or wait till after the sun sets and you will get an amazing gold color on the horizon. Just don't get too close to the edge of course. Easy access off of route 89 south just south of Page AZ. About a half mile ea
