Long Overdue

Happy Saturday! I've been so caught up in creating, editing, uploading, marketing and all kinds of other stuff that I've completely neglected blogging! I also just returned this past week from a family vacation to the Outer Banks but I'm now here and ready to roll! My wife has a big family so we had to get a big house for this trip. Normally its just the two of us and our 2 kids (4 year old son and 2 year old daughter) but this year we had decided to do a big trip with all the in-laws and kids which was an adventure...But, the vacation came at a great time as I was able to have fun with the kids but also get plenty of time wandering around the Outer Banks taking shots and finding all sorts of magnificent stuff. The beach was probably the least interesting place I got a lot of my captures (though it was still great) but getting out around Duck and the Currituck sound was really rewarding. I was able to have some really nice peaceful early morning walks with very few people on the boardwalk other than some joggers and a few walkers. So I was able to easily line up shots all over the place on the sound and of the incredibly cool trees, marsh and birds that were enjoying their mornings. It was particularly fun to take photos of the birds, some just perched on posts, railings or branches while also being able to finally get some mid-flight captures! I recently bought a telephoto lens that has allowed me to really capture some better distant shots and it helped me get some really fun shots of seagulls and other birds soaring across the blue sky.

I always have fun getting out and taking pictures but the pictures I was able to get at the Outer Banks were some of my favorite. We took a family trip out to the Manteo Aquarium one day (the kiddos slept the 45 minute drive hooray) and I was able to get some really cool sea life pictures. Fish, jellyfish, gators, sharks and more. It really was great for someone like me who is not a big fan of snorkeling and I'm not a SCUBA guy. So those were fun shots to take in a more uh, 'controlled' environment. I was able to get a ton of different shots and I've been working on processing a lot of those to upload for sale. I've been posting a few a day for the last week or so and there's plenty more to come. So I hope you enjoy those as much as I enjoyed shooting them!

So what's next? A lot more processing, uploading and some really fun stuff I'm working on with my toy photography! I'm working on some stuff involving Iron Man, John Wick, Darth Maul, and more. So stay tuned for those. I think they make ideal game room, man cave or screening room decor so if you're looking for something like that you should definitely check those out! And peruse the Star Wars, DC and Marvel sections here for much more. And feel free to say hi at any time! I want to make sure I'm connecting with everyone and I would appreciate any feedback on my work. What you like (or don't like), things you might like to see more of or any questions! Thanks for stopping by and plenty more ahead!
