Photo of the Week: August 15th, 2010
“Nature’s Curves” was taken on Santa Cruz Island in The Galapagos. These Islands feature some of the most amazing wildlife spectacles in the world. This Blue Heron was waiting patiently near a fishing pier for food. I used a Canon 40D with a Canon 70-200 2.8L lens to capture the image.

“Volcanic Sunrise – Lago de Atitlan, Guatemala – 2010
“Volcanic Sunrise” was taken on the stunningly beautiful Lago de Atitlan in Guatemala. Just a few hours West of Guatemala City, this Jewel is a must visit for anyone traveling through the country. This photo was taken with a Canon 5D Mark II and Canon 24-70 2.8L Lens sitting on a tripod early one morning on the lake. I used a hard 3 stop GND Filter to help lighten up the pier in contrast to the rising sun. I hope you enjoy!

“Painted Falls” – Semuc Champey, Guatemala – 2010
“Painted Falls” was taken in the incredibly beautiful and somewhat untraveled natural wonder of Semuc Chmpey in Guatemala. Four-teen miles from Lanquin, in the Verapaces region, the Semuc Champey natural pools are a must see if you ever visit Guatemala. This photo was taken handheld with a Canon 5D Mark II and a can 70-200 2.8L Lens. I attached my B+W 9 Stop Neutral Density filter, which allowed me to use an incredibly slow shutter speed even though it was taken in mid morning. I slightly moved my hands in a circular motion durring the exposure, effectively creating the dream like/water feeling of the entire image. I hope you enjoy!

“We Need Help” – Port Au Prince, Haiti – 2010
“We Need Help” was taken on the streets of Port Au Prince, Haiti after the devastating earthquake that level most of the country. It was captured with a Canon 1D Mark IV camera and a 70-200 2.8L IS II Lens while driving through the city. Anytime you are shooting humanitarian photography work, you have to dance the very thin line of effectively documenting the situation and respecting the people and cultures that are involved. This is never an easy task.
Check out the “Lespwa Haiti” Gallery located HERE to see more photography work from Haiti.

“Purple Infusion” – Point Reyes National Seashore, California – 2010
“Purple Infusion” was taken just off the shoreline from the Point Reyes North Beach, north of San Fransisco. It was taken without a tripod with a Canon 5D Mark II and Canon 100mm 2.8 Macro Lens. When shooting macro photography without using a tripod, you must learn to control your breathing and position your body in a way that doesn’t allow for any natural sway. It takes practice, but with the right equipment and technique you can pull off great macro images without always carrying around your tripod.
