New Jersey Photographer

As a photographer, I was a bit worried about hiring a resort approved photographer because there was minimal way for me to get to know the options prior.

My first shot using the 10-stop Neutral Density during the harsh sun at Asbury Park, NJ. The shutter was open roughly 2 seconds, just enough to smooth the water and remove the person from walking in front of me. Aside from the broken fence, this shot makes me feel stress free. Thanks for reading and [...]

Remember a while back when I mentioned an eBook that I was working on? Well that eBook was put on hold when the opportunity came up for me to write a different eBook. (Go figure!) There are many methods to learning photography. Absorbing Light is my story. How I learned the art, and the moments [...]
