This Sunday Morning

I was up all night on Saturday and ended up going to the beach at 5 am, hoping to catch the sunrise. Sadly, it was overcast, but I managed to capture a few moments in low light that I thought are quite cool. Here's a few of them:

I always find the movement of water as an interesting subject. The sheer power of the sound of moving water is fascinating. I have tried to capture the fluid motion of water in these images. Click on them to open them up as bigger files instead of viewing just the thumbnails. Enjoy!

Night Sky Shots

I got back home after a late night recording session and looked up... I just couldn't miss this opportunity! My initial idea was to go for a time lapse, but it was already 3:00 am and the camera's battery wasn't charged enough to go for a couple of hours. Still, I figured I could practice some shots so I could find a perfect place to go for a time lapse the following night. While I was setting up, I saw at least 3 shooting stars at different intervals... if only I could've captured them!!

I need to get a faster wide angle lens, which I hope to borrow from Glendon before I buy one for myself. I need to set my exposure time to <15s or the stars move just enough to cause a blur. OR... I set up my telescope mount and track the stars all night :) Anyhoo, enjoy!

Old Habits Die Hard

I've been fascinated with photography ever since I was a kid. I always had a dream to travel to places and capture local life on my camera. I never owned a camera until I was well in my 20s. I bought my first digital SLR when I was 23. I recently bought a Canon EOS 7D for myself. I must say... my creative ideas have multiplied by leaps and bounds!

Here are a few pictures I have managed to click over the last few months.
