    The Pitons from Jade Mountain

    For our honeymoon we were lucky enough to get an opportunity to stay at a Jade Mountain "Sanctuary" on the Anse Chastanet resort.  We had an amazing view of the Pitons and Soufriere Bay.  A lot of people ask me how much post processing I do to my images.  Well here I made a perfect example as to two exposures of the same scene with and without filters. The only things I did in Lightroom were crop and sharpen.

    And here is the photo with the Polarizer and the 3 Stop soft ND filter. It's a subtle difference but notice how the sky has darkened and the foreground is popping with color in the photo below:

    Close and Closer...

    Here are two perspectives from a waterfall cascade that I found in Northern Pennslyvania.  I was knee deep in water to get a good view, but I sure think it was worth it. Its called Miners Run Falls and its located in Loyalsock State Forest

    Summer Sunset in Troy, PA

    The Pennsylvanian landscape is awesome.  Tons of hills and greenery all around.  Here is a shot I took after a long day of fraccing.  Don't call me a nut, I always carry my camera around with me during my trips to the field. I was lucky to get this shot before it started storming. If you look close on the left hill or mountain the locals call it, there are wind turbines.  Several of them are up there and will be popping up on here soon.
