Atmospheric Magic In Promised Land State Park

In this video, I am going to take you to Promised Land State Park (PA), an area I have wanted to get to and am glad I finally did. When I arrived at the park the temperatures were 5 degrees F below zero. As I started my hike, the weather was no longer a factor because I was presented with an enchanted beautiful environment. There was a blanket of clouds that created a magical ethereal effect. Between the cold temperatures and the water flowing, the affect that was created was mystifying. I hope you enjoy my journey through the frigid temperatures and to see the result of what I will say is my favorite image to date in 2023. Please check out the video & let me know your thoughts: https://youtu.be/6CHMVd0ThmY

Grounds For Sculpture

In this video I will share my experience photographing and filming at the Grounds For Sculpture in Hamilton New Jersey. This is an absolutely amazing cultural facility with both large and small sculptures. I have photographed here during the day in the past. But, recently I visited the complex during their evening “Night Forms” event. The experience was amazing but challenging from the low light aspect. Here I put my camera gear to the test by using the highest ISO settings I have ever used during a photoshoot. YouTube video: https://youtu.be/It4yao589L4
