I was driving home from work yesterday and the clouds were absolutely amazing!!   Some of the coolest clouds I’ve ever seen that I can recall.  I tried to make this look exactly like what I saw, so I had to add a bunch of contrast to the image in Adobe Lightroom. Just look at these clouds!  It almost looks like there going to drip right out of the sky or something

I used the 5D mark II and the Canon EF 135 f/2 L @ f/8, 1/320sec, ISO 100

I took this a few weeks ago with Michele’s Canon EF 100-400 L IS. It was freezing out, but the golden light was looking good in the early am.

I shot this Hand Held with the Canon 5D mark II, 200mm ISO 400, f/5 @ 1600sec

The famous Green Bridge located up in Sullivan County, NY just down the road from our house.  Michele grew up just around the corner and this bridge was 1 of those paces that all the kids would hang out at and play.  It was built in 1879 and the sign says Groton Bridge & MFG CO. Builders, Groton NY.  Being a Bridge lover myself I had to inspect this engineering marvel of it’s day more closely with the Canon 5D mark II and a few lenses of course

My goal here was to be a Photojournalist.  I wanted to capture the bridge’s beauty and history the best I could without any crazy editing or anything. All these images are un-edited except for the 1st image because I printed it large and framed it for Michele Merry Christmas!!  All the other images just have a white balance correction in Adobe Lightroom, and some minor exposure adjustments.
I also tried to find some history on the Bridge, but came up dry.  Please email me if you have any info!

Here is a link to Google Maps if you want to see it for yourself The Green Bridge

For Lenses I used the Canon EF 24-107mm f/4L IS, and the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS.

I was cruising through Washingtonville yesterday and managed to grab this image

I always wanted to try a shot like this and the stars aligned the other day when we arrived at my brothers house in Florida, NY. Michele was the driver and decided to ride the brake as well. The trail braking was an awesome idea as it made the tail lights super bright and vivid in the exposure.
