Since the heady days of 35mm film, I now rely on my Nikon D40 Digital SLR to continue on with my family’s tradition of capturing the landscapes and wildlife of the places I visit. Additionally, I have broadened my subjects to include American folklife and historic structures, as well as battle re-enactments, weather phenomenon, and light painting. A large portion of my work is what is called HDR (High Dynamic Range) photography. Multiple images of a subject are taken at varying exposure levels ranging from light to dark. These photos are then merged or tonemapped in special computer software. HDR provides a much more sizable tonal range in a single photograph. When processed carefully, these HDR images allow for a more natural representation of what the human eye sees, as well as permitting a higher level of detail in the photograph.
Photo reblogged from The Hook Book with 1 note
sandyhooknj: Join me on my new blog for Sandy Hook, NJ!
Exactly one year ago today, I captured this photograph bay-side on Sandy Hook. It’s a textbook Jersey shore photograph. Water, something old, a stellar sunset, crashing waves, radiating warmth, all of the elements a photographer could want are present. It has been half a year since Sandy Hook opened its gates to the hoards of beach-goers, surfers, tourists, locals, birdwatchers, photographers, cyclists, joggers, fisherman, dog-walkers and nature lovers that frequent this special spit of land.
I have frequented The Hook (as us locals know it) since childhood. I’ve always loved it. It’s become a part of me. My springs and summers in New Jersey would be cold and incomplete without it. I need it.
So, join me in celebration of the re-opneing of The Hook after hurricane Sandy. Hundreds of volunteers and park officials have worked diligently to bring it back to us, to you. Cheers!
