I got this great comment on my youtube video of when I traveled to VA Beach. It said:

“I love your videos! But most of all how you always truly enjoy each sunrise.
I work with a lot of photographers and they get so “jaded” after shooting for many years. It makes it hard for me to pose because like you each shoot is an opportunity and adventure for me.
It’s so wonderful to watch somebody that enjoys their work.”

It seriously made my day when I read that. I’m so glad that you all can see how much I love what I do and I appreciate the opportunity to shoot such a beautiful landscape almost everyday.

Jelly fish from the Virginia Aquarium. Even as a little kid, the jelly fish exhibit was one of my favorites. They always seemed so graceful and beautiful. They are a little difficult to shoot through the glass though.

As I was walking around the park, I noticed the people there taking pictures of the sunset. Despite the one image I got of it, I couldn’t really find another compelling composition. I noticed these trees on the other side of this little swamp and thought they looked so pretty. I spent a few minutes trying to come up with a peaceful composition and after I took it, I thought to myself “that is so ME”! I love taking pics with most of the subject on the bottom 3rd of the image with a beautiful sky.

Taken at the same time as this image, but I like the way this one turned out better. I love the color in the sky with the lifeguard stand in the foreground to add some interest.

False Cape is another Virginia State Parks in the Virginia Beach area and this place is pretty perfect place for sunsets. It’s hard to say that about any place on the East Coast but it’s this little inlet of land that has water on both sides. So, capturing a beautiful sunset is dependent on mother nature.

Thanks so much to Virginia State Parks who provided me with lodging so that I was able to visit these incredible parks in the VA beach area.

The past few days I was very lucky to be able to spend at First Landing State Park. If you don’t know, it’s a VA state park in the VA Beach area that has these amazing Cypress Swamps. Seriously, I’ve never seen anything like them before and they are amazing to see in person!
