I originally intended to shoot this field of flowers that I passed by a few weeks ago, but they were all gone. Luckily, Great Falls Park in Maryland was right down the street and I made it in time to catch a beautiful sunset.

I was soo lost! I went to Calvert County to try to get some pics of lighthouses and I couldn’t find them for the life of me. The sun had already set and I was really lucky to at least find this dock. Looks a little like Leesylvania huh?

Last week I went on a little adventure to Calvert County, MD to take some sunset pics. It’s been about 5 years since I’ve last visited but I had seen some amazing pics from there and wanted to give it a try. Here’s a private beach behind some homes I trepassed on. It’d be so cool to have THIS as your backyard.

The sunrise wasn’t all that I hoped it to be. There was no color and kinda made everything very blue. I decided that I wasn’t going to waste my time and just work on my composition. I feel like with HDR a lot of times people rely on color, but what really makes an image interesting is the color.

I’ve been on a hot air balloon when I was much younger in FL. I don’t remember much about it, but I remember wanting to do it again.

Being on a hot air balloon in MD was so much fun! We flew at varying heights, the most being at 1450ft. and the at the lowest we would’ve been able to grab a leaf off a tree had there been leaves on trees. We were super lucky to be up in the air on such a nice day. It wasn’t cold or very windy. It was absolutely perfect. While we were in the air we saw 2 bald eagles, about 10 deers running around, and thousands of winter geese flying in V’s. It was amazing! If you’re looking for a cool, new adventure, I’d definitely recommend hot air ballooning.
