Freebie HD Wallpaper – Washington & The Smithsonian!

Jan12

Well, all good things must come to an end. Unfortunately, that’s true for fine art photo adventures as well. On our way back from our time in New England, we took a half day to do a whirlwind tour of DC. In the 5 hours we were there, we visited the Capitol, Civil War Memorial, Air and Space Museum, and the Museum of Natural History. Here’s a selection of our favorite photos from the trip!

Above is a photo of some bird (I have a really good memory). Despite being perched on a branch, it is actually no longer living. To the right is a really cool piece of history for a guy that loves both photography and aviation. This is the actual camera used to photograph the Wright Brothers’ first flight. All those famous pictures you’ve seen of those first flights were taken with this very camera! Pretty cool stuff.

Below is one more photo from the session. In focus is the legendary Bell X-1, the first aircraft to exceed the speed of sound (in level flight) way back in 1950. In the foreground is the North American X-15, This plane still holds the record for the fastest speed ever reached by a manned rocket-powered aircraft. Enjoy the photos!

Freebie HD Wallpaper – New England Winter Part 4: Snow?

Jan6

Well, here it is – the last installment from our New England fine art trip. Today’s theme is focused on snow. Finally, at the end of our wither trip, we managed to see snow – about 1/4 of an inch of snow. Not exactly the stuff of dreams, but snow all the same. However, by the time the sun set, it was all gone with balmy temperatures in the high 30s. Enjoy the photos!

Freebie HD Wallpaper – New England Winter Part 3: Fog

Jan4

Welcome to part 3 of our New England adventure. Today’s theme is fog – and there was lots of it during this predawn shoot. You don’t normally associate fog with winter, but a few times a season, you’ll find the perfect conditions for fog along the banks of the Piscatiqua. This day was no exception – it was the coldest day of the season and the resulting difference in the temperature of the open water as compared to the air produced this frigid fog over the river. It sure made for some pretty unique photography conditions – and with the 15kt wind and 5F temperatures, it also reminded me of the value of gloves (which I neglected to bring).

The photo above was not taken on Halloween, is not from Europe, and does not depict a castle. Shocking, I know. In fact, this is the old prison located on the eastern tip of the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard. Known in its time as the “Alcatraz of the East”, this turn of the century prison housed a wide variety of military prisoners (including U-boat crews) until it was decommissioned in 1974. You can read more about this fascinating structure here.

If you’ve been following our blog recently, you may recognize the lighthouse above. This is Whaleback Light – a granite block lighthouse constructed in 1829. About three years ago, I took a similar sunrise trip to this location under very similar conditions, and took a series of photos as the sun rose over the fog bank. That photo is one of two that National Geographic selected for their prestigious stock photography site. We’ll see how these do! Of course, there’s a nice selection of all my favorite shots from this shoot below. Enjoy!
