My Favorite Photos of 2014
Every year I like to go back and look at the photos I’ve taken and see how my photography has changed. After a mediocre 2012, I was very pleased with the work I produced in 2013. 2014 continued that trend, and I made some of my all-time favorite images. Here’s hoping for an even better…

Fall Reflections
I stopped by one of my new favorite locations, Fallsville Falls, in order to try to capture the beautiful waterfall surrounded by fall colors. Unfortunately, despite somewhat steady rain off and on the past few weeks, the waterfall was essentially dry. Only a trickle of water dripped off the edge of the highest ledge, though…

Planning the Eclipse Shoot
One of the keys of successful outdoor photography is planning. While many great shots have been made simply by ending up in a good spot by chance, and then having a great composition catch your eye, for many types of shoots, especially with landscapes, prior planning can make the difference between coming back with a…

Fallsville Falls
Last week, I came upon a waterfall that is remotely located in southwest Ohio. The falls are somewhat pointedly named “Fallsville Falls,” after the now non-existent town of Fallsville, that I’m sure was originally named after the waterfall, so there’s some circular naming going on. It’s really in the middle of nowhere, and no signs…

Star Trails and the Milky Way
I’m not much of a star photos guy. At least, I haven’t been in the past. Not because I don’t enjoy seeing super late night images with the stars gleaming, but because I live near a fairly large city, and light pollution makes capturing images of the stars problematic. It requires a drive a good…
