About Me



I bought my camera a few months ago and have been learning and respecting the art of photography ever since. It's a battle and a privilege to capture moments. The right moment, with the right lighting, with the right equipment, with the proper understanding to appreciate what is in front of you, easily deserves a smile and a sense of accomplishment.

National Get Outdoors Day-Everglades

In honor of National Get Outdoors Day it was only fitting to head-out into the everglades(which I happen to live right next to) and do some wildlife watching. My pictures came out quite well and It was the first time I have had the D7000 in that environment.




Other than being EXTREMELY HOT the day went well. The picture of the alligator sitting out was the only issue I had. He was blocking the walkway and I was forced to walk ten feet in front of him to get past. He was very intimidating I wasn't sure if he was going to attack or behave.  







National Religious Freedom Rally

Finally posted my first video today on YouTube. There was a rally today about Religious Freedom at U.S. 41 and Pine Ridge Road today. While there I decided to try out my D7000's video capabilities:


Now don't be too harsh. I didn't plan on capturing video or even making a video; pictures didn't seem to capture the environment as well as they should have (I still need my 14-24mm Lens). I also don't have a decent video editing software. The above video was made with Windows Live Movie Maker.

See More Info About the Rally HERE at Naples Daily News.

If anyone knows a high quality editing program PLEASE comment and leave information or ideas.

Enjoy!
