Sunset at Wrightsville

Lee Hinshaw — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 03:06:23 +0000

This photo might look like a major Photoshop overhaul but it’s not. This sunset, the last in fact of 2011, was quite saturated in color and with a slow shutter speed the water looks softer if not a bit more abstract. Photographs of sunsets are almost always beautiful because sunsets are, well, almost always beautiful. I suppose the best thing about this shot is that it takes me there.

Sea gulls are as ordinary as rats but they sure can strike a bitchin pose…

I had the pleasure of photographing this enchanting event on December 23rd. Hats off to Scott Fray, Madeline and all the rest who poured their spirit into this fabulous production.

Body Paint x 10

It took 9 hours for Scott, Madeline and Tiffany to paint this model and my Nikon 1/125th of a second to capture it. Throw in a bit of Photoshop processing and ,voila, a pretty interesting shot. Learn more about Scott and his beautiful work by clicking here.

Fall’s Last Call

I took this shot this weekend at my buddy’s magnificent cabin overlooking the mountains in Grayson county Virginia. The sun was beginning to set low casting a somewhat red cast on the already reddish oak leaves which are among the last leaves to change and fall. The flattened effect of a telephoto brings a different view to this scene and the quiet pattern of nature reveals herself like a painting. I like this shot!

Night Light Reflectors

I took this shot at 4 am this morning (to avoid traffic) facing a bridge over the Yadkin river across from Tanglewood Park in Clemmons, NC. I’ve always wanted to catch those cool looking reflector plates you see with your headlights so I aimed my motorcycle high beams and hand held this shot with an 85mm f/1.4 lens wide open. It’s not sharp but the dabs of light still articulate the saturated colors of the reflectors and the car moving in the midst of it give it more relevance. Not what I expected but a decent surprise perhaps.

Swallows

Every night around 7 pm, hundreds, perhaps thousands, of swallows come to roost for the night in downtown Winston Salem at the Millenium Center across from the bus station. This is my first attempt to capture these interesting birds against a backdrop of the moon and the emerging dusk sky. More to come…

Two kids running and spinning in a colorful cylinder. Kinda trippy, kinda cool.
