How to Photograph Comet NEOWISE: A Beginner's Guide This week Comet NEOWISE has become a pretty popular celestial object to capture. I went out this morning and snapped a few photos before the sun washed out the view of the comet. Knowing what I know now, I'm itching to give it another try tomorrow. That being said, here's how I
PHOTOGRAPHY HIGH FIVE - JULY 10, 2020 I gave the fireworks my best shot last weekend, but unfortunately while trying to practice social distancing I couldn't quite get into the position I needed to be at for some good shots. Hopefully 2021 will be better for that. Not sure what I'll get to shoot this weekend, but Comet Neowise is
PHOTOGRAPHY HIGH FIVE - JULY 3, 2020 This is going to sound like a repeat of last week, but I actually got out twice again to shoot. I ended up at the same cemetery last Thursday night but this time with much clearer skies and a visible Milky Way. I've got a lot of work to do on those photos,

A NIGHT AT THE FORT STANTON-SNOWY RIVER CAVE NATIONAL CONSERVATION AREA A few weeks ago I started looking into areas I could visit that would allow me to have dark skies and great landscapes for a quick photography trip.

PHOTOGRAPHY HIGH FIVE - JUNE 12, 2020 This week I spent a lot of time going through a handful of older photo's and practicing on my editing techniques. I feel like I'm getting better at it, but I still don't feel like I've completely found the work process I want. I'm sure that's something I'll be working on for a
PHOTOGRAPHY HIGH FIVE - JUNE 5, 2020 This week I've got a few more photos to finish editing, but I also took some time to capture the Dragon Crew Capsule and the ISS. Be sure to take a look below at the photos of the ISS. The first one faintly shows the Dragon Crew Capsule trailing the ISS on Saturday
PHOTOGRAPHY HIGH FIVE - MAY 29, 2020 I finally made it out on Tuesday to go take some photos. I didn't get as many as I would have liked to, but it was worth the quick trip to the Fort Stanton-Snowy River Cave National Conservation Area.
