Big Al's Road Trip 2015

Back in August into September I went on a road trip. I started at my home in New Jersey all the way out to California. Along the way I made many stops to National Parks along the route.
Petrified Forest, AZ
Grand Canyon, AZ
Hoover Dam, NV
Death Valley, CA
Yosemite, CA
Great Basin, NV
Bryce Canyon, UT
Arches, UT
Dinosaur National Monument, UT
Yellowstone, WY
Little Bighorn, MT
Mount Rushmore, SD
Badlands, SD
Minuteman Missile Site, SD

I would like to thank my former employer Target. If they didn't let me go I would have never had the time or money to make this trip possible.

My First Attempt at Photoshop

This was taken at Acadia National Park. I did some playing around in Photoshop with the sky. First time using Photoshop on an image, let me know what you think.

Time Lapse Photography Test

I have been trying out time lapse photography and decided to post this one for everyone too see. It is definitely not great, but I am still learning it. I hope to make more over the winter and improve my skills but till then, enjoy!

Long Exposures at Acadia National Park.

My first long exposure that came out pretty nice

While on vacation I was able to find a camera shop called Photo Market where I was able to buy some ND filters to try long exposures. It took awhile but I got a few shots that came out pretty good. Still need to practice, but these were not bad for my first time.
