I do not mess around with camera settings (I'm an auto junkie), I do not edit, I have never used a filter, and I do not have the patience for backdrops, battery packs, tripods, or flashes. These four sunset/sunrise images were taken with a 50mm f/1.8 that was relatively cheap. The 50mm is on my Rebel XSI 95% of the time and I'm not ashamed to admit this because I love those pictures, along with thousands of other great memories that lens gives me. These four scenes are meaningful because no matter where I happened to be at the time (the Grand Canyon, the Atlantic Ocean, Upstate NY, suburbs of NJ) I stopped to let the beautiful sky take my breath away. It doesn't make a difference to me how I capture a scene, the sole purpose of my photography is to just always be able to recall the real-life version. Most people would say I'm not a photographer and I would agree, however, I possess a strong appreciation for photography and get lost in the beauty and memories they portray. Working for Unique Photo, I am surrounded by the most talented photographers (my co-workers) who create masterpieces with their cameras and are the most creative group of people I have come to know so far in life.
