Santa Monica Pier at Night
Published on 2012-01-20 12:49:00
On a recent trip to one of my favorite spots in the world (California), I got to swing by Santa Monica and decided to head down to the world-famous Pier at night. The tide was out farther than I had ever seen...almost to the end of the Pier! This made for some unique vantage points for photography. Enjoy!P.S. The wind chill here in the outskirts of the Twin Cities here in Minnesota was -27 degrees two nights ago. I think we should all pack up and go to sunny California! > read more
It's Fall...again...
Published on 2011-10-20 14:46:00
Not to ruin anyone's day, but I thought that I'd point out that Fall is here and Winter is right around the corner. For some of you who live in warmer areas of the world, that might not mean much to you but for someone who lives in an area like Minnesota (myself included) it means a great deal. I am personally not looking forward to all of the snow and cold, but as always it offers some nice photo opportunities. Here are some photos that were captured up on the shore of Lake Superior, right befo [..] > read more
Reboot!

Believe it or not, I'm actually going to start posting more. Seriously! This blog has been dead for a while but I'm "rebooting" it. I've had limited access to a desktop computer recently resulting in me ignoring my blog. Nonetheless, I have recently purchased an iPad which, to my joy, means that I'll have the Internet with me nearly at all times throughout the day. So...yeah. That means much more posting! So, welcome to the rebooted WP Nature Photography!These two pics were taken on my recent tr [..] > read more
Hey everyone!
Published on 2011-08-16 16:46:00
Okay, I admit it. I haven't posted in like, forever. Oops. BUT I have a good excuse! I just recently returned from an amazing trip to Europe. While on my travels I very rarely had internet access and never for a long enough time for me to write a post. However now that I'm back home in the States I'll start posting again regularly. This is obviously a place for me to post my nature photography, but I want to begin to spend more time writing about how YOU can improve YOUR photography. All in all, [..] > read more
The Night Sky
