This is the first full edit that I have gotten the chance to do with a photo from my D800. This particular Pier is the Ballast Point Pier which is at Ballast Point Park in Tampa. Pretty cool place that I didn’t even know existed till about a week or so ago. Really helped create ...

Repose

I took this a few days back and have forced myself to edit it slowly. There are times my excitement to show a new image gets the best of me and I’ll rush to post it and find myself viewing it a week later filled with ideas for how I could have made it better. ...

Sequence

This is a three minute exposure of some old pilings on Clearwater Beach. It’s actually a reprocess of an older image. I’ve found that I have been going back and reprocessing old images a lot recently. Not because there’s a lack of new work coming in. (I have actually been shooting a decent amount recently) ...

I wanted to give ya’ll another look into my post production with a before and after of my new image, ‘Steady.’ It is another black and white long exposure image of that boat ramp which is just off of the Clearwater Causeway in Florida.

Quick Tip: Shooting Black & White Long Exposures

Posted by on Jan 31, 2012 in Blog, General, Photography, tips & tricks | No Comments

I would say that almost all of the long exposures that I shoot these days, end up as black and white or toned black and white images. Every so often, I’ll leave one in color but there’s something about a black and white long exposure image that just usually blows the color version out of ...

  This is a 25 second long exposure which was converted to Black and White using Silver Efex Pro. It was taken at the boat ramp which is on the Clearwater Causeway between Clearwater and Tampa. I’ll do a behind the photo on this photo at some point, but until then, you should know that ...

Before & After: Silver Safety Harbor

Posted by on Jan 25, 2012 in Before & After, Blog, General, Photography | No Comments

I have never really done much to show what type of work goes into my post production. The amount of work I do on a photo varies greatly based obviously on the scene and my vision for it. Some photos get barely any adjustments while others may take me several hours of adjustments, getting a ...

A month or so ago, I was sent this question through my Tumblr: Hey Andrew, I just wanted to say I am a huge fan of your style. When I got my Nikon in January, I wanted to get serious in photography and I started looking around tumblr for inspiration and your blog was at ...

6 Spots Every Landscape Photographer Near Tampa Florida Should Visit

Posted by on Jan 11, 2012 in Blog, General, Photography, tips & tricks, Travel | 5 Comments

Recently, I had someone tell me that they feel like I am constantly posting photos from new interesting locations. Goodness sakes, I hope that’s true! I get bored with locations. Especially if the weather is similar on visits to a specific spot. It got me thinking though, about my favorite landscape photography spots in the ...

Behind the Photo: At Wave’s Break

Ever since I first started playing around with long exposure black and white photography, I knew that the coast of Oregon was a place I needed to go. There’s something epic-feeling in the way the huge waves crash on the big blacks rock which appear almost prehistoric. I’ve lived in Florida my entire life and ...
