Sunset at Hug Point

I love Oregon - there is just so much beauty there.  It's almost hard to digest it all.  It seems at every turn, there is something else more beautiful than what you just saw.  I spent some time there recently, and one evening a beach walk turned into a full-on sunset adventure.  Here are 15 photos that show you just how beautiful that evening really was!

An unbelievable sunset in Bandon, Oregon

As photographers, we are ever hopeful and optimistic about the light.  We hope and pray for good things to happen in the atmosphere, so we can capture it and share it.  Usually it ends up being ok, but now and then you get a really amazing display of Earth's beauty.  I was lucky enough to have that happen to me recently while in Bandon, Oregon.  Here are 14 pics that show you just how awesome this sunset really was!

Golden hour on the Brooklyn Bridge

How awesome is the Brooklyn Bridge?  Pretty awesome!  Here's a collection of shots from a photo outing I had there one evening last year.  It started around sunset and kept on going into blue hour.  Hopefully I can return to NYC later this year and shoot it again - there's a lot of things to aim the camera at there!  (Hey Jim, that's pretty obvious! LOL)

Sunset in Atlanta

I love sunset, and when you get a stellar one it's even more fun!  I caught this one way back in 2012, but never got around to processing or sharing any of the pics until now.  Read my thoughts on being so far behind, why I am ok with it, and see some pretty pics too!

An awesome sunset in Copenhagen

On my recent trip to Copenhagen, I had hopes for good shooting, but the weather forecast did not look promising.  Couple that with a missed connection in London, and I was sure that my first day there was going to be a bust.  But sometimes Mother Nature (and travel complications) work out for the best!  I ended up shooting a fabulous sunset - and here are 22 photos (count 'em!) to illustrate just how great it was.  Have a look!

Sunset silhouettes

When you find yourself in a fabulous city like New York, and it's sunset, and you have your camera with you - it's time to fire away!  (hey Jim, that's obvious!)

But sometimes you get home and think about the shots you didn't take.  That's ok, and it does happen.  But it's also rewarding when you decide to change your habits and do something you never really do, and it works out great.  Here's 6 pics from Central Park where I changed things up and it worked out great.  Have a look!

Getting busy in Las Vegas

Ah, Las Vegas - you are a photographic wonderland!  There really is a lot to shoot there, if you can handle being there for more than 24 hours!  I spent 3 days there recently, and came home with 1500 photos.  So yeah, I guess I did ok.  :-)

Take a look at these highlights of the trip, and let me know what you think of Sin City!

Old photos, new results

Do you ever go back and re-process photos that you have previously shared? I do that sometimes, and find that it's a great creative exercise.  But recently, I HAD to go back and re-create an old photo for a client, and it took me forever to make it look like how it looked when I first processed it, about 5 years ago.  And so I learned a lot in the process - and I am sharing those learnings and my observations in today's post.  Have a look!

Chasing a sunset down The Drag

Sometimes you find yourself in absolutely the wrong place when the sunset decides to get all awesome.  It's a real drag, but hey what can you do about it?  Well, I'll tell you what I do.  I shoot like crazy.  What if it's the best sunset you've seen in ages?  You can't just pack it up and go home.  Take the shot - you never regret it!
