Had a wonderful time wandering around town on Monday with @jmacdonald.photo. The garden was looking especially beautiful. So glad to be able to enjoy this spring since we were all trapped inside for the last year. • • • • • #publicgarden #boston #igersboston #igersnewengland #igersmass #bostondotcom #ignewengland #newengland_igers #igersusa #igersboston25 #boston25 #igboston #bostonusa #visitboston #cityscapeboston #city_features #raw_newengland #raw_cityscapes #nikonnofilter #withmytamron #yourshotphotographer (at Boston, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/CN7zrZUshLQ/?igshid=o3r5c4a3ychv

Part of my love of traveling is the 'firsts' it gives me. The first time seeing that city, the first time eating that famous food, the first time seeing animals native to a region I haven't explored yet. North Carolina gave me another first that I hadn't dreamed of before: my first time seeing a shipwreck. A month before leaving for OBX, @rickberkphoto told me he'd become aware of a recent shipwreck that was going to be near our home base for the week. After some research, we located a rough area and made it a priority to find it. On our first afternoon, we made the hike down the beach and located the shipwreck. Both of us decided that we wanted to come back for a sunrise and two days later, we did. As the light started to come up, I could see the water was washing up into the center of the ship's deck so I picked a spot where it was reflecting the sunrise's glow. The clouds were moving quickly and I was thrilled to see the texture they gave off in a long exposure. After this shot, I moved down the beach and explored some driftwood before making my way into the dune to make the shot I posted last week. • • • • #bodieisland #capehatterasnationalseashore #northcarolina #outerbanks #obx #northcarolinaisgorgeous #northcarolinabound #northcarolinaoutdoors #northcarolinabeaches #northcarolinalife #northcarolinacoast #visitnc #northcarolina_lovers #nikonnofilter #thinklee #obxshipwreck #landscape_lovers #landscape_captures #landscapelovers #landscapehunter #yourshotphotographer #longexpoelite #amazing_longexpo #longexpo_addiction #longexpohunter #raw_beaches (at Outer Banks, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNsZo5KsHYC/?igshid=njmaf7oypajp

It’s been a productive week so far in the Outer Banks! @rickberkphoto and I have been capturing lighthouses and seascapes and I finally had a moment to sit down and edit a shot. This was taken yesterday morning on Bodie Island after a two mile hike through the dunes and soft sand. Not my favorite activity to do at 5am but seeing pristine ripples like these made it all worth it. I couldn't wait to see this one once I snapped it, I'm so pleased with how it turned out and even more thrilled that I got several more like it yesterday morning. • • • • #sanddunes #northcarolina #northcarolinaisgorgeous #northcarolinabound #northcarolinaoutdoors #northcarolinabeaches #northcarolinalife #northcarolinacoast #visitnc #northcarolina_lovers #obx #outerbanks #obxphotos #outerbanksnc #beach #nagshead #obxphotography #saltlife #landscape #landscape_lovers #landscapephotography #landscape_captures #landscapelovers #nikonnofilter #yourshotphotographer #thinklee #landscapehunter #raw_beaches (at Outer Banks, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNdYjo_MSe0/?igshid=1f0hi35i2itco

Last year turned out to be a mountain year for me with trips to Idaho and Colorado. This year I wanted for focus on seascapes. I’ll be starting out in the Outer Banks in two weeks with my friend @rickberkphoto, continuing with Cape Cod and Acadia over the next few months. I’m super excited for the later half of the year when we’ll visit the Oregon coast and Crater Lake National Park. My year is suddenly looking full of adventure and I absolutely can’t wait to get started exploring. • • • • #wellsbeach #maineisgorgeous #igersmaine #maine_igers #mainelife #mainething #downeastmagazine #mainetheway #my207 #maine #yourshotphotographer #nikonnofilter #landscape #newengland #ignewengland #newengland_igers #igersnewengland #landscape_lovers #landscapephotography #travel #travelphotography #wanderlust #longexposure #longexpoelite #longexposure_shots (at Maine) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMlLo_6srmi/?igshid=1jtqfiueyzlxj

You wouldn’t know it from my feed but I used to work almost exclusively in black and white. Boston is full of textures that come alive at night and really sing to me. The stones and chains at Fan Pier are so much fun to compose with. Can’t wait to get back in the city for some night shooting. • • • • • #boston #igersboston #igersnewengland #igersmass #bostondotcom #ignewengland #newengland_igers #igersusa #igersboston25 #boston25 #igboston #bostonusa #visitboston #cityscapeboston #bostoncitynights #blackandwhite #blackandwhitephotography #bnw #blackandwhite_perfection #bnw_captures #monochrome #longexposure #longexpoelite #amazing_longexpo #longexpohunter #longexposure_kings #yourshotphotographer (at Boston, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMdXxrrMWws/?igshid=1mrehe1qg5uvg

It’s been a year since this photo, so that means a year of the pandemic. This was the last shot I made before everything shut down. I was very glad that @rickberkphoto and I were able to have this quick shoot in Acadia last March; it was such an incredible sunset and really held me over while lockdown was happening. Spring feels like it’s really close around the corner and the vaccine distribution is moving along... it almost feels like we are out of this mess. Can’t wait for summer when gathering and shooting with others will hopefully be possible again. • • • • #acadia #bassharborheadlight #maineisgorgeous #igersmaine #maine_igers #mainelife #mainething #downeastmagazine #mainetheway #maine #yourshotphotographer #nikonnofilter #landscape #newengland #ignewengland #newengland_igers #igersnewengland #landscape_lovers #nationalparks #findyourpark #betteroutside #nationalparkgeek #nps #goparks #nationalpark #raw_lighthouses #lighthouse_captures #lighthouses_windmills_gs (at Maine) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMSzHazMT-c/?igshid=j5so3gc5dt0x

Remembering a colorful sunset I got to experience in Maine with my friend @rickberkphoto last summer when the restrictions first started easing up. We’d been exploring around Jonesport, looking for some quintessential Maine fishing harbor scenes when Rick spotted a muddy hollow near one of the public piers. We climbed down and began shooting quickly before the light faded. This shot of a coiled chain was my favorite from the evening. • • • • #jonesport #maineisgorgeous #igersmaine #maine_igers #mainelife #mainething #downeastmagazine #mainetheway #maine #yourshotphotographer #nikonnofilter #landscape #newengland #ignewengland #newengland_igers #igersnewengland #landscape_lovers #landscapephotography #landscapes #landscape_captures #landscapelovers #landscapehunter #raw_newengland (at Maine) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMDvlJHsIpx/?igshid=oofk8o56lc6h

Blue hour at the Zakim from a few years back. Very excited to be hearing of close friends and family members who have been able to get a vaccine. I’m starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel. I very much miss shooting in town with my friends and can’t wait to get back to it. • • • • • #zakimbridge #massachusetts #massachusettsoutdoors #massachusetts_igers #naturalmassachusetts #igersmass #naturalnewengland #newengland #igersboston #ignewengland #newengland_igers #igersnewengland #raw_newengland #yourshotphotographer #reflectiongram #reflection #reflection_shotz #reflection_perfection #city_features #cityscapeboston #boston #igboston (at Boston, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/CL7J-_5s2DB/?igshid=khn4l3fe6w78

Watching all the snow melt out here in Central Mass this week is making me feel like it’s going to be a long time before the trees look like this again. I’m not sorry to see this winter go. Bring on spring and a better vaccine supply! • • • • #massachusetts #massachusettsoutdoors #massachusetts_igers #naturalmassachusetts #igersmass #naturalnewengland #newengland #igersboston #ignewengland #newengland_igers #igersnewengland #raw_newengland #nikonnofilter #yourshotphotographer #reflectiongram #reflection #reflection_shotz #reflection_perfection #landscape #landscape_lovers #landscapephotography #landscapes #landscape_captures #landscapelovers #landscapehunter (at Concord, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLvIFA-MwiN/?igshid=172ot1l2hdw1t

Snowy lighthouses have been on my list to capture for a few years now but I’ve never been able to nail the timing of a storm for them. I’m so glad that this month’s trip to the midcoast was spot on for capturing some winter conditions. After spending an evening at Owls Head, I got up the next morning for a 13°F sunrise at Marshall Point Light. My hope was that the storm from the night before had blanketed the lighthouse in fresh snow and that I'd be the first one there to enjoy it. I arrived just as the snowplows were clearing the parking lot and the light was starting to come up. This was my favorite shot of the morning, I loved all the lines of drifting snow. • • • • #maineisgorgeous #igersmaine #maine_igers #mainelife #mainething #downeastmagazine #mainetheway #maine #nikonnofilter #yourshotphotographer #landscape #landscape_lovers #raw_lighthouses #lighthouse_captures #lighthouses_windmills_gs #lighthouse_world #lighthouse_lovers #lighthouses_around_the_world #newengland #ignewengland #newengland_igers #igersnewengland (at Maine) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLmwtVvs0pL/?igshid=1y0wwrvvrpgnt

I've spent the last few days up in Maine having fun in the snow and visiting a number of lighthouses. On Tuesday during an afternoon snowstorm, I visited Owls Head Light near Rockland, Maine. As I was approaching the lighthouse, a truck pulled in behind me. It was the lighthouse technician and his partner. We chatted for a bit and he ended up giving me a tour of the lighthouse and teaching me about the lighthouse. After we descended the tower, he left the lights on inside long enough for me to take a few shots in the blowing snow. • • • • #owlsheadlight #maineisgorgeous #igersmaine #maine_igers #mainelife #mainething #downeastmagazine #mainetheway #maine #newengland #ignewengland #newengland_igers #igersnewengland #nikonnofilter #yourshotphotographer #landscape #landscape_lovers #raw_lighthouses #lighthouse_captures #lighthouses_windmills_gs #lighthouse_world #lighthouse_lovers #lighthouses_around_the_world (at Maine) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLKddYvMXPK/?igshid=bd330c1zcymx

Sharing a shot from my morning at Wells Beach last weekend. Hadn’t been there in over a year so I think it was time. Not the most fiery sunrise but it definitely had some heat! • • • • #wellsbwach #maineisgorgeous #igersmaine #maine_igers #mainelife #mainething #downeastmagazine #mainetheway #maine #newengland #ignewengland #newengland_igers #igersnewengland #raw_community_member #raw_newengland #nikonnofilter #yourshotphotographer #landscape #landscape_lovers #landscapephotography #landscapes #landscape_captures #landscapelovers #landscapehunter (at Wells Beach, Maine) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKcZh60suMR/?igshid=278m1gtpzecs

I’ve been sticking closer to the coast while I wait for the next snowstorm to come (is it EVER going to come?). Here’s a shot from a recent visit to Marginal Way in Ogunquit. The waves were crashing very hard so I stayed higher up on the rocks than I normally do and managed to get this shot of an incoming set of waves as the sunrise was lighting up. • • • • #marginalway #maineisgorgeous #igersmaine #maine_igers #mainelife #mainething #downeastmagazine #mainetheway #maine #newengland #ignewengland #newengland_igers #igersnewengland #raw_community_member #raw_newengland #nikonnofilter #yourshotphotographer #landscape #landscape_lovers #landscapephotography #landscapes #landscape_captures #landscapelovers #landscapehunter (at Maine) https://www.instagram.com/p/CKHdATbMFR0/?igshid=bdoib15hxb2w

Posting an old favorite tonight because I miss running around town all hours of the night almost as much as I miss the friends who were with me.

Here it is, the last day of 2020! It was a hard year that forced me to get creative with my travel plans, but I'm so proud of what I was able to achieve. I took another look through my Colorado files this week and found this shot of Mt. Sneffels that I hadn't processed yet. Colorado suffered some of the worst wildfires in its history this year and several were still burning during the time @rickberkphoto and I were visiting. Sometimes the haze was a hinderance but this was the first time I felt it added to the scene, giving a sense of great depth as the sun filtered through the range. For anyone curious, Mt. Sneffels clocks in at 14,158', which feels huge but doesn't even earn it a spot in Colorado's top ten tallest mountains!! I hope everyone has a wonderful New Year! • • • • • #mtsneffels #colorado #coloradolife #coloradogram #coloradotography #colorado_creative #coloradolive #coloradolove #coloradoinstagram #mountains #rockymountains #colorfulcolorado #coloradorockies #optoutside #visitcolorado #nikonnofilter #beautifuldestinations #weekly_feature #ig_unitedstates #igersusa #usaprimeshot (at Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJeOGays22l/?igshid=sasuwfb1yzyy

I hope everyone had a great holiday! I was able to get out for a little bit last week to shoot before all the festivities began. Spent a nice hour at West Beach in Beverly before heading home to wrap more gifts. Dying for another snowstorm to move in, kinda bored with all these blue skies. I need some snow! • • • • • #westbeach #massachusetts #massachusettsoutdoors #massachusetts_igers #naturalmassachusetts #igersboston #igersmass #ignewengland #igersnewengland #naturalnewengland #newengland_igers #igersusa #usaprimeshot #ig_naturelovers #ig_unitedstates #ig_northamerica #natureprimeshot #longexposure #longexpoelite #nikonnofilter #withmytamron #ig_awescapes #raw_community_member #raw_newengland (at Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJYoDzPsBvN/?igshid=3tmen984w1hu

With snow in the forecast, I’ve been looking through my shots from last winter. Found this one of Portland Head Light that I hadn’t processed before. Really hope this next storm blasts us as we get some really nice snowy scenes. • • • • #portlandheadlight #maineisgorgeous #igersmaine #maine_igers #mainelife #mainething #downeastmagazine #mainetheway #maine #newengland #ignewengland #newengland_igers #igersnewengland #raw_community_member #raw_newengland #raw_lighthouses #lighthouse_captures #lighthouses_windmills_gs #lighthouse_world #lighthouse_lovers #lighthouses #lighthouses_around_the_world #nikonnofilter (at Maine) https://www.instagram.com/p/CI3zqCShi2x/?igshid=nvliijshs988
