Happy Weekend Everyone! Hope you all had an amazing week. Here are so of the things you may have missed:

I came back from Ohio and uploaded a few images from the weekend.
Ohio had some beautiful sunsets, but the real reason why I was there was for the MidUSA Ohio Hot Air Balloon Challenge. Heres a nice one with the balloons in the sky.

Here’s my behind the scenes look behind my images:

Now that I’m back home, the heat wave has been seriously affecting my images. It’s hard to get a nice sunset or sunrise. So I figured I could go to one of my favorite spots for pictures and shoot the water at Great Falls. While I was there I ran into this pretty butterfly that I just had to capture.

This past week was amazing for my work:
I was in FamousDC for my Capitol Sunrise

And in HDR Spotting 3 times!!


Hope you all have a great weekend! 🙂

Yesterday when I was walking back from taking pics of the waterfall, seen here, I saw a few butterflys picking at these flowers. I really wish I had my 100mm macro lens so I could of gotten a better shot, but I had to make due with my 24-105mm kit lens.

It is HOT! Not really temperature hot, but humidity hot. This whole week I’ve been trying to get up to take some good sunrise shots, but the humidity has been blocking the sun, so I had to come up with something good. I thought Great Falls might be the best solution, if I focus in on the water the I wouldn’t necessarily have to have too much of the sky in the image. What do you think?

So you may be wondering why I went to Ohio. Well it all started a few months ago when I was thinking about my photography. I thought about the kind of images I wanted and how I could achieve them. For some reason, one of the first things that popped into my head was a hot air balloon festival. As my dad would say, I asked Mr. Google and he told me about the Ohio Challenge.

Who knew hot air balloons were so temperamental. Out of the three times that I went to the festival, I only really got to see the balloons fly once. The air quality and wind depends so much on the flight, it got a bit frustrating, but I’m glad I came out with at least one image.
