The Roanoke Marshes Lighthouse in Manteo NC near the Outer Banks during blue hour. Shot during our trip to the Outer Banks of NC last spring, I really liked the bright gold bursts against the rich blue hour tones. I don't do too much night photography, but it has always intrigued me so I suspect I'll be working at night more in the future. I'd also like to thank my good friend Mark VanDyke for turning me on to so many great locations at the Outer Banks!
Faves and Comments are appreciated! Hope you like it! ;-)

Sunkissed - Outer Banks Duck North Carolina Sunset Seascape Photography OBX
A stunning sunset over the Albemarle Sound from Duck, North Carolina. We were treated to some incredible conditions on our recent trip to the Outer Banks, including this sunset scene on our first evening there. I noticed this dramatic sky with great clouds moving in while visiting the famous Whalehead Club and was lucky enough to find this spot over the water just in the nick of time for the sunset. It turned out to be a pretty spectacular show of light, and a fantastic end to a wonderful day of adventure in OBX! Hope you enjoy the view! ;-)

The Path Less Traveled - Outer Banks North Carolina Seascape Nags Head NC
I spent some time at the coast last week leading this year's photography workshops in Nags Head along the Outer Banks of North Carolina, and the OBX didn't disappoint. Despite it being quite windy as is frequently the case in OBX, we had a couple mornings with beautiful bubblegum pink and blue skies to work with that were moving pretty quickly in the winds. I'd been looking for a chance to use my 10-stop filter all week and this seemed like a good opportunity.
During one of the workshops we had a discussion on landscape photography as a contact sport, not being afraid to get "into" the scene and shoot images from less common perspectives using less common methods, hopefully producing images that are unique in the process. Sometimes it simply means shooting from a less comfortable position, and sometimes it can mean an element of risk for your camera gear and personal safety.
The result pictured here is a 2.5 minute exposure that was as fun to shoot as it was challenging. The large waves crashing into my legs sent considerable amounts of water splashing upward all over my camera and lens, combined with the spray coming off of the concrete slabs onto my lens from the windy conditions kept me on my toes for sure. Funny how these come out looking so calm and peaceful. I can't say how many times I had to grab my tripod and run before the 2.5 minute exposures were finished, but I got a few clean ones and man was it a blast! #youlldryouteventually

Folly Beach Charleston SC - Push
Angry Atlantic ocean on Folly Beach near Charleston SC. Shot on Folly Beach in Charleston SC, this image is the complete opposite of my image "Pull" in that it's the other side of the breakwater and the ocean wave is coming in instead of going out. Hope you enjoy it, faves and comments are appreciated! ;-)
