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!

Jaguars of Belize

Hello photographers! I recently took a trip to Belize in Central America and photographed these jungle cats at the Belize National Zoo. These two different cats are Jaguars. They look like tigers, but they are not. Tigers have strips, and Jaguars have spots. I first started photographing animals at the National Zoo in Washington, DC, while in high school. I love photographing images of wildlife. I used a Nikon D700 DSLR and a 80-200 f/2.8 zoom telephoto lens to photograph these majestic cats.

Dinoflagellates micro organisms in the bioluminescent bay in Vieques, Puerto Rico.

Hey shooters,
I photographed this image of the dinoflagellates micro organisms in the bioluminescent bay in Vieques, Puerto Rico on a recent trip there. I used a Nikon AW120 waterproof digital camera with the ISO set at 6400. My wife and I were kayaking with a group at night. Some in the group with smart devices were not able to capture any usable image. DSLR cameras were not allowed on the tour. So, having a small camera with a sharp lens really came in handy.

WW II Flyover

Hey shooters! It's almost summer and I have been working on a few projects and haven't been posting for a while. So, this is what I captured at the World War II flyover on the Monument grounds in Washington, DC. I love aircraft and believe it or not this was my first time photographing planes. I used a Nikon D700 with a 80-200 F2.8 lens. I used shutter priority to slow down the propeller blades. Wow! I like it! I can't wait for another air show.

Cardinal of Spring

Hello everyone! Finally, spring is here. I shot this brilliant red male cardinal last week, just after the snow had melted. Photographing birds is hard because they are so fast and don't hang around too long. You have to be patient and wait for them to show up, or you can go to where they hang out. Happy birding from Geo "The Hawk" man!

Black and White Bird

Hey shooters! Wow, I'm on a bird photo mission. I caught this female Downy Woodpecker foraging for food this morning. I loaded the image into Lightroom 5 and converted it to Black and White. I also lightened it a little to bring out the detail and contrast. I love Lightroom 5, the software gives you a lot of options.
