Thank you...


...Nikon World Magazine. Featured within the pages are photographers whose work I always admire. With each issue, I look forward to seeing inspirational photography and reading informative articles.
I consider it the greatest honor to be in Nikon World Magazine, and I'm so pleased to have a part in it. Look for "Next Steps" and you'll see some of my photography and learn a little more about me in a wonderful article written by Barry Tannenbaum in Nikon World's Summer Edition. Thank you very much, Barry!
The image above is included in the story, and was photographed in Lucerne, Switzerland. The first thing I noticed were the narrow streets, and how often bikes are used for transportation. I liked the perspective of this alley, repeating windows, and bicycles lined up on both sides of the cobblestone road. It all seemed to speak about Europe with the rich colors and textures. I photographed a series of exposures to merge to HDR, and I used various filters in Photoshop to enhance the color and detail present in the scene.
Have fun shooting...
