8am - 1 am

So today started out with a depressing text letting me know my model for today's shoot was sick. Thankfully Kaitlyn stepped up and we shot each other! I ended up not shooting as much as I would have liked, but still ended up with a picture that, in my mind's eye, is decent enough to show on here.

Let's just say that waking up at 8:15 was worth the knowledge that Blowing Rock got the name 'Blowing' for a reason.

From 11am on, I got to drive with Taylor down to Raleigh to pick a snowboard up, and drive to Greensboro for a shoot on top of a parking deck! From the top, there were about 4 interesting angles in which I could shoot.
25 second exposure. f/22.

So my long exposure images used to come out with a HUGE purple lens
flare in the corner of them. The previous image is proof that buying a $45 UV filter, instead of using a not so nice one, helps improve image quality. Yay for less photoshop!!

  1. Was it really worth getting up that early to experience the blowing of Blowing Rock?? haha. Your long exposure of Greensboro is really nice! And I know exactly where that is and live like 25 minute from there! : )
