This image is of my neighbor's field at about 9:30 at night, I really love this image! The vibrant colors, the fact that I also got some stars in the picture and the details it shows for a night shot. So how did I capture this? To get the picture this sharp I mounted my camera on a tripod and left the shutter open for a total of 6 seconds. This picture actually looked quite hopeless till I did some adjusting in Adobe Lightroom CC. With some adjustments to the exposure, shadows,clarity, contrast and vibrance this image came out very well. Here is the metadata:
6 seconds
f 3.5

Water Falls at Great Falls, VA


This is one of my favorite shots from my shoot at great falls Virginia. It is actually the result of about five pictures stitched together. in Adobe Lightroom. The image was created at about 7:00 pm, this allowed me to shoot at lower light so that I could lower the shutter speed to 3/5 of a second. The result was the soft look of the rapid waters flowing over the rocks. After stitching the images together in Lightroom cc, I adjusted the contrast, bumped up the clarity for sharpness and added a gradient filter to add more color to the sky.
