"Harvest Moon"

"Flashlight in the Sky"

Tonight I decided to shoot the moon as the moon itself, don't get me wrong I have shot this spear in all kinds of landscapes thru out the years but tonight I wanted to high light it's on glory to itself. So after getting my exposures set to capture the rich burnt orange hues I took three images on a tripod of course with different f/stops but the same shutter speed and ISO giving me a somewhat HDR effect and went to blending them to capture my final result.

"Stunning"

"Where Beauty Meets the Beach"

Starting editing the images from wednesday's wedding and had to give this one blog time. I love the setting and the light hitting the pier making an interesting background. Of course Lisa is stunning to say the least and I'm sure Chris is one happy groom as this couple celebrated thier wedding here on the OBX. Congrats you two.

" OLD SCHOOL "

"Cannonball Endurance Run"

Once again another first here on the OBX. The first running of the Pre 1916 Motorcycle Cannonball Endurance Run from Coast to Coast. No were more fitting a site than the Wright Brothers Memorial in Kill Devil Hills the brothers were bike builders you know!!, to start off the 16 day treck across the good old USA to finish on the west coast of Califorinia in Santa Monica. I got the photography assignment from the Virginian-Pilot to document the event for the Sunday paper. Now I'm working on a few images for prints and note cards so if you like check them out on my website.

Calm Before the Storm

" Morning Solitude "

Thrusday morning I decided to snap off a few frames under the Kitty Hawk Pier just in case things might change as Hurricane Earl makes it's way up the coast. Once again our shores were spared again as Earl moved eastward into the Atlantic allowing for many more shots of this image.

Hurricane Earl - The Beginning

"Morning Perfection"

Well here we go as Hurricane Earl shows his first sign moving the Atlantic swells upon our shores. With calm west winds and a very nice ground swell surfers took to what they do best here on the OBX a day off work and surfing all day.
