Day at the Museum



Hello, everybody! It's the middle of winter and I just had to get out and visit one of my favorite museums, the Hirshhorn. It's located on the Mall, just blocks from the U. S. Capitol. Can you guess what kind of camera I shot this image with? I shot it in color and used in camera editing tools to flip it to black and white. Cool, huh? I intentionally cut off the upper body when I took the photo, and cropped off the bottom to create this composition.

Caballo en Vieques



Hello everyone! Wow, a horse in Vieques! I love horses. The horse was going across the street to get some needed water. People in the town leave water for the horses, now that's cool. I heard of horses just running the streets, and seeing and photographing this one was fantastic. If you want to capture the unusual, make sure you have your camera ready. The horse came out of nowhere and I was ready for the action. I've been posting for a couple of years. Please follow me and send your questions to gpphotodc@gmail.com, and I will answer them. Thank you.

Gold Ornaments



Wow! The iPhone 6s camera does it again. I love shooting at night through glass windows. I composed the shot and gently tapped the screen button. The different types of gold ornaments caught my eye. I shot the ornaments at a low angle to give the illusion of them moving upward. Happy shooting!

Commercial Tree



Hello iPhone shooters. Here is another photo from my iPhone 6s covering the Holiday season. This one looks like that tree in the Charlie Brown Christmas special, except it appears to be the commercial one. The iPhone 6s really has a good sensor and processor to produce visual images like this one. I'm having a lot of fun being creative with it. Happy Holidays!

Holiday Tree



Hey follow shooters! I just bought my first ever smart phone, the iPhone 6s. The images created with the iPhone 6s camera are excellent. I'm testing it at night, as this really shows how good it will capture in low light situations. It's holiday time, so what a great subject, a Christmas tree seen through a window at night. I will be posting a series of iPhone 6s photos during the coming days. I can be creative with my camera phone, and so can you. So, what's stopping you?

Red Maple Leaves



Hey shooters, I was very busy in the month of October. I just finished a audio/visual project that had a deadline. I hope you all have been taking some epic images. I'm going into the Fall with one of my favorite subjects, photos of fall leaves. I chose this tree because of its radiant red leaves. I added some light, not from a flash, but from my new Led light. I now carry this light in my kit bag to add light to the subject. Get yourself one, it adds light to boost color, contrast, and clarity to your pictures.

Starfish of Vieques


Hey guys, it's George, the camera man! The summer is ending and the fall is fast approaching, so I wanted to load one of the many photos I took on vacation in Vieques. Vieques is an island off the coast of mainland Puerto Rico. The image you see here is a starfish I viewed in an aquarium tank at The Vieques Conservation and Historical Trust on the Island. I used a Nikon AW120 waterproof camera. I set the camera to macro for a detailed close-up shot. Nice!
