Fun with Flash Gels!

Ever since I received an awesome set of flash gels for Christmas, I have really been enjoying playing around with them and using them for creative lighting.  For those of you who enjoy technical information, there's plenty of that in this post, and for those of you who just want the pictures, there are plenty of those too.

From the Archives: Oswego, Alma Mater

This is the first post in a series where I will be sharing some of my photos from years past.  My love of photography first developed while I was a college student at SUNY Oswego, so I thought it fitting to share some of my Oswego photos first.  I have gone back and reprocessed most of these photos with my current skills and software, but you will still most likely notice a progression in my skills (and my gear).  You'll also see some photos I took when I went back to Oswego to visit in 2012.

A Few Things I Saw at the Lake George Winter Carnival

This weekend I had an opportunity to stop by the Lake George Winter Carnival for the first time.  The Carnival is held every weekend in February, so the day I went was the kickoff day.  There was lots to see and photograph!

Movement and Motion in Saratoga Springs

One of my favorite things to photograph is movement.  This movement can be in nature, such as the movement of the clouds, water, or branches of a tree, or it can be the movement of a person or a car.  I've gathered in this post a collection of my favorite photos conveying movement and motion in my hometown of Saratoga Springs, NY.
