This image was taken a little while ago in Manassas, Virginia. I didn’t get time to shoot this weekend so I’m looking forward to getting back out there. Autumn is here and the leaves have started to change. I think it’s time for me to go to skyline drive pretty soon.
Happy Weekend Everyone!
As you are reading this, I will be enjoying the Florida sun in Miami! I’m going there for a marketing conference, but I’ll also make the time to get you guys some sunrises and sunsets.
So, here’s what happened this past week:
I was soo honored to be featured in Travel Channels Best Fall Foliage Shots:
I also wrote an article. I’m officially a published author!
Now for some of the images:
If this past week had a theme, it would definitely be nature’s beauty. See what I mean:
I had four different images from Great Falls. The first one was from a really foggy morning. Then I had a sunrise that was really pink. These two images were a few minutes from each other, but you can see the difference in sky here and here.
I revisited one of my favorite images from the Shenandoah Mountains last year and got really close to a spider in Great Falls.
Hope you all have a great weekend and prepare for some beach images!

This image was taken last year in the Shenandoah Mountains at sunrise. Unfortunately there wasn’t much of a sun because of all the fog, but I’m really starting to get into these fog images. Lately I’ve been noticing myself hoping for it.
I had to post this image because I had a fail this morning. I tried going out for some sunrise images but as soon as I got to my location it started raining, HARD. So, I plan on going out tomorrow and hopefully bringing you guys something very new. In the mean time, I really like the abstractness of this image.
I’m so lucky I got this shot. I woke up a little late and got to Great Falls National Park a lot later than I wanted to. While making my way to where I wanted to set up, I noticed the fog peaking through trees. I got so excited and ran as fast as I could to set up. I had to move quick because I knew the colors in the sky wouldn’t last very long either.
With all the tropical storms, hurricanes, and other freak weather we’ve been having in VA, Great Falls is really flooded. It’s pretty cool because now I get all new vantage points because there are rocks that I’d always default to, but now I can’t even see them because of the water levels.
This was taken at the same time as this lone tree and my second time trying to capture this image. I really like the softness the fog brought to this image as well as the color.
Tropical Storm Lee finally left! After 4 straight days of crazy rain I finally saw sun!!
The next morning I went out to take pictures for sunrise and I was really hoping for some crazy colors in the sky but I think I got something better. I got a beautiful sunrise with a slight fog which really soften things up.
I was really nervous once I got to Manassas, VA, where this image was shot. . Light usually peaks up about 30 minutes before the sunrises but it was so dark that I could barely see anything. If you’ve been to Manassas than you know there aren’t that many people to begin with and at 6am theres hardly anyone. For some reason I get nervous when no one is around as opposed to a lot of people around. I stayed in my car for about 15 minutes before I go the courage to finally step out.
Lesson learned when photographing after a tropical storm and fog: wear water proof pants! My pants were soaked to my knees at the end of this trip.
