Sunrise at the Rocks Remixed....

I have been trying a few new techniques in the digital darkroom the past  couple of weeks to so I decided to take a look into the archives and try a re-edit of one of my older shoots to see if I could get them looking a bit better. Im really happy with the look and feel of this shot and its a look that I could never quite get with the skills I had at the time.
South Loop Sunset

Sunset over the south loop was definitely decent on this day... I had to stop and shoot from this elevated position for a bit...
Stormy Springtime Sunset...

Todays stormy weather made for a spectacular sunset over Itasca!!! Its days like today that inspire me to keep getting out there to shoot!! Some days dont work out like you expect and it can be a bummer, but sometimes you get surprised by mother nature and get to witness amazing light!!!

Morning Geese

This mornings sunrise was just awesome!!! I found a good view to watch the sun come up and started shooting. Just as the Sun started breaking over the horizon, 4 geese came floating by out of no where and just made this shot!! I couldnt have planned it better!!!
SUNRISE @ THE ROCKS...

Here is a sunrise shot taken one morning at one of my favorite spots along the south shore of Lake Michigan. I had visited this spot a handful of times and the conditions had just never been quite right. This morning however, the stars aligned and I enjoyed this beautiful sunrise!!!!
