I recently came back from a Digital Landscape Workshop (DLWS) that was held in Cape Cod. My very good friend Laurel and I had a lot of fun and met some really great co-photographers.

We were up at 5am, chasing the sun rise, grabbing breakfast, taking in workshops, going back out to chase the sunset, more workshop time - then to bed between 11 pm and 12:30 am. This was our schedule for three and a half days.

I actually reveled in the schedule. All of my work for the longest time has been client driven (which I enjoy) but it was nice to shoot just to shoot. It really got my creative juices going. So below are a few of my landscape shots.

Also, Joe McNally was one of our instructors. He put us in front of a local harbor master who was kind enought to be our model for the morning. I really enjoyed seeing Joe in action, and was able to pick up a lot from him. And the adorable woman in the fuzzy red hat is Laurel, one of my favorite shots! Another assignment had us in P-town taking pictures of people - that’s where the wonderfull lady with the cute dog came from.

In addition to the stills, I also took some panoramic pictures which I think helps to put it all in perspective. In the pano below, along with photographing the lighthouse, we were we also gathering for a lesson with Joe on using reflectors as a souce of light with a model.

Although not very sharp, this next pano was taken on the first day at our first shoot. It was under exposed and shot at an hight ISO of 800, however I really like how it captures the moment - 6 am, 25 plus photographers from all around the country, descending upon this unsuspecting lighthouse, excited about their first shoot of the week, trying to get the best angle for that perfect sunrise shot.

We were lucky to have Mark (And Stacie!) as part of the Laurel and Aaron show. Mark is a local from Provincetown and was able to provide us with this little detour to a really cool bridge. The bridge goes to an island which is only accessible at low tide. At high tide, the bridge is mostly under water. Our little side trip made us late for our next workshop, but it was more than worth it!

This last pano was an impromptu picture of all of us having breakfast. We were a bit tired and in need of some Java! The food was great, again thanks to our local guide, Mark!

Elyse Ostland from North South Studios won American Society of Interior Designers (ASID)’s best residential remodel for Florida. I love it when my clients win! She did an amazing job on this home which is located in Orlando. Here are the images:

Below is another remodel done by Elyse. The kitchen cabinets were done by McCallum Cabinets. This is actually Tommy McCallum’s own kitchen. He does a lot of the cabinets for Noth South Studios. He also did an amazing job on my kitchen cabinets. The last picture is of Tommy and Elyse.
