When I first got into landscape photography, I wanted to lose myself. Photography became a means of catharsis and gave me that headspace that I needed then. • I heard this VO and it reminded me of those days. • I hope you're truly doing alright today, but if not and you need someone to talk to, please reach out. I'm here for you. • @djiglobal Mavic Pro 2

Not really one for , but did some downtown shooting and had an absolute blast taking these shots.

Tasty lil street photog edit

This is by far the most complex image I ever attempted. There are 40 images in the upper third of the image alone. These are all stacked in order to get the sharpest version of the milky way possible.
-
Beneath that is a shot from just after sunset, during blue hour, where the landscape is mostly dimly lit and there are no harsh shadows anywhere.
-
On that is an exposure from another hour or two later where two cars passed each other in opposite directions and left behind this amazing light trail that I captured using a long exposure.
-
Finally, I flew my drone over the middle section of the foreground w/ a Lume Cube mounted to it in order to create this halo effect.
-
I blended all of these together to form a composite that took over 9-hours to shoot.

Hope you enjoy it

Overcoming a challenge.
•
Not the hike, or a fear of heights, but getting a shot from this location that felt right to me.
•
It only took three 16-hour trips to get it, but hey, I enjoyed every minute of it and I’m happy with how much I learned through these experiences.

Hey Pingree Grove area, if you need family portraits, let me know! I have some openings for bookings! Shoot me a DM.

A before and after w/ my breakdown of how-to from the epic Milwaukee Art Museum.

Always a pleasure to return to the coast and see the greatest city in the world.

Patrick & Beccy | Wedding Day ~
A day full of fun with wonderful families, and a gorgeous couple.
This wedding was filled with Love, Laughter, and Happy Tears:)
I loved being part of your big day.
I hope you enjoy these first few photos.

I've been focusing less on outcomes lately. Thinking about how it feels to ponder an idea, rather than just the aim of the concept. The output may be what we're ultimately after, but the process is sometimes just as good, if not better.
•
While I admittedly continue to spend hours obsessing over composition, VND filter stops, lighting conditions, etc., I'm focusing more on being present during the process.
•
This road trip has memories attached to it that I'll cherish for the rest of my life.
•
Curious to hear from you; What techniques do you use to stay present and live in the moment?
•
By the way, can you spot Olaf?🐶
