Finally, What I've Been Waiting For


I have been working towards this photo for months! I go out and shoot the moon every time I get a chance, just hoping to get an awesome photo like this. So I went out tonight to capture the lunar eclipse, realizing I missed it, I still wanted to shoot because the moon just looked so beautiful. But I tried something different because I really wanted the clouds in this picture. I focused on the moon first, set my lighting right, and got a good picture of just the moon. Then I focused just on the clouds, set my lighting, and got a photo of just the clouds. I then put them into Photoshop and merged them into one HDR photo, and viola! It the photo I've been trying to capture FOREVER! 

These are the 2 photos I started with:

I LOVE the fall!

My sister is so gorgeous! We went out to the golf course today to shoot a few photos, and I got some great photos of her. Angel's Crossing is just to beautiful this time of year. Here's just three of the many that I got of her tonight.

This one turned out great, I love the coloring. I didn't even have to alter any lighting in Photoshop!


I love the birch trees in the background, but what makes this photo is the way that she chose to sit!


I have ALWAYS loved shadow pictures. So tonight when the sun started to set and the sky was filled with color, I captured this. I think it turned out great, but I would love to hear others opinions please!
