Side by side clients doing 5-10 minute exposures for a more dreamy look. ✌
Techie stuff:
311 second exposure (5+ minutes)
100 ISO
f/8
320mm
9 stop ND filter (Hoya).
A single exposure processed in Photoshop's superior quality 32-Bit Ray Layers (email me if you are interested in what is literally the future of post-processing quality now)!
Thank you for looking.
All the best to you, your family, loved ones and friends during these challenging times for many.
Thank you. What an amazing place and moment! SO blessed to to what I do!
Huge thank you Mitch! I am blessed to be back. Great forum still! We likely will meet. I have met SO MANY FM members. All great folks.
Me too!!! I just cannot believe what can be found out there!!! I finally got to my PM's. Sorry about the delay!
Huge thank you!! I love it all, but we are so blessed to do what we do! And to be able to do it for a living for like 15 years is just unbelievable to me. Gratitude. Thank you for the encouragement and all the best to you and your family.
DISCLAIMER: Gosh, I have to apologize for being SO delayed in my responses! Seriously, this has been a heck of a year and a half with Covid, 3 family deaths, my new wife in and out of the hospital (kidney stones/gallstones!) 2 weeks behind on emails sometimes, having 3 stepsons, a new close knit family and working ridiculous hours on print post-processing work for nature landscape gallery photographers, finishing my YouTube studio, making new video tutorials, working on my own work, workshops, keeping up with communications and way more! I’m blessed for sure to do this for a living and have an abundance of work, but it comes at a cost! I will try to do better! Thank you for your grace.

Thank you very much! It definitely took my breath away! I mean, this is what it really looks like! I hope this year to spend weeks out in these very special locations. We get to go to some very special locations others cannot because of connection to the landowners.

Mark, Beautiful capture, glad to see that you are back doing what you love. Stay safe and Happy Holidays
Thank you so much! Me too! I’m always at it. It’s just very hard sometimes to carve out time for social media! I love to share the goods (and encourage and help others). I mean I live for it.

Thank you so much. This one looked totally amazing and even fake on my camera's (and my clients camera) LCD. I had a feeling it might translate well. Such a blessing to see and experience such things!

Mark - another fantastic image!
Thank you very much Roger! Being able to do this stuff full time has been and continues to be an incredible ride! I over work a lot for sure, but I have incredible gratitude for the people I get to meet, the adventures, and just the fact that this is my living! And I can share a little of it with others. All the best to you and your family during these challenging times for so many.
Amazing shot at usual Mark! You are one of my favorite photographers for your ability to marry excellent field techniques and technical skill with unsurpassed vision, composition, planning and execution. I really want to take one of your digital processing workshops and will once Covid calms down a bit more. I now have had my vaccine so one hurdle cleared!
