La Sal Mountains Viewpoint

This is a photo from the La Sal Mountains Viewpoint in the Arches National Park located near Moab, Utah. I have visited this park two times, once in 2018 and another time in 2019.

Both times I visited I was in Moab attending the Easter Jeep Safari.

More photos of Arches National Park can be seen on my photography website in this gallery.

China Pavilion

The China Pavilion in Epcot’s World Showcase at Walt Disney World is vibrant with colors.

The main attraction here is the architecture and the half-scale reproduction of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests from the Temple of Heaven complex near Beijing. The details of this structure are stunning and vibrant.

Below are some photos from our most recent trip to Walt Disney World in June 2019. What do you think of the photos? have you seen this in person? leave me a comment and tell me what you think.

Enjoy!

Off Season Seminars at Harwood Motors

I have been to Harwood Motors several times in the past for Open Houses as they are very close to my home. You can see the Open House Photos on my photography website in these albums 2018 and 2019.

They like to put on Off Season Seminars on various topics and this year is no different.

Seminar #1 Auto Detailing

Over the weekend I attended the Off Season Detailing Seminar at Harwood Motors (located in Macedonia, Ohio). There was a huge crowd as you you can see in the photo. Lots of great information. Michael Johnson demystified the art of Auto Detailing for the crowd and broke it down into common sense and lay person language. I think everyone was very happy with the seminar. I believe that this seminar will be posted on YouTube and if it does I will update this post with a link to the video.

Next Seminar at Harwood Motors on Photography

I have been asked by Harwood Motors to present Photography at the next seminar at the end of February 2020. I have started to put my presentation together and will go over the basics of photography and provide examples with the use of a slideshow. It should be a great day. So come on out! You can register for the Seminar at this LINK.

Twinsburg vs Cuyahoga Falls High School Boys Basketball

Last night I attended and took photos at the Twinsburg vs Cuyahoga Falls Boys High School Basketball Games. I have attached some photos below and you can see the full set of photos on  my photography website in this Gallery for Varsity and this Gallery for JV.

It was also Wilcox and Bissell Schools Nights at the game. There was a bunch of Kindergarten through third graders running around. It was a great night. I took a video of the Varsity Team entering the gym through a tunnel of Cheerleaders (check out my Twinsburg High School Cheerleaders Gallery on my website) and students.

Enjoy!

Magic Kingdom Train Station at Dusk

I shot this photo at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom in 2014. I was walking into the park to see the fireworks show and noticed how spectacular the sky looked. This is what is known as “Blue Hour”. This is the time of day when the sun has just set or is about to rise and the sky takes on a blue hue.

Enjoy!

Twinsburg Tiger Duals Wrestling Tournament

Over the weekend I attended and took photos at the Twinsburg Tiger Duals Wrestling Tournament held at Twinsburg High School. This Tournament hosted 8 schools. I was primarily interred in Twinsburg High School and took photos of some of their matches. I don’t normally shoot wrestling and this was a little out of my comfort zone but what I have learned with shooting other sports and events I was able to apply to this. All these photos were shot at my normal settings for Twinsburg High School Gym Sporting Events, which are 1/1000s, ISO 6400, f/2.8. You can visit all the photos in this gallery on my photography website and there are a few below for you to enjoy as well.

Thanks for visiting.
