    I am not a very big portrait shooter but I really appreciated Emma taking the time to explain lighting and the different setups to get the type of shadows we are trying to achieve.

    It was a great evening to be out shooting the stars. Our instructor, Emma, had scouted for a good place to meet and succeeded in finding the right spot. Her instructions for successfully shooting the Milky Way were simple yet very effective.

    This class was great. Emma was such a helpful teacher. I took another class with a different teacher and did not get as much out of the the other class. Emma had a specific agenda she wanted to cover and ensured we covered those items, as well as anything else the class wanted. That made the class feel focused and helped me get the most out of it. I highly recommend

    This photo grabs me because it shows the human footprint on nature, and how nature slowly but surely begins to take back it's place.

    When I first saw this sight all I could say was "whaaaaat" I pulled over and found my way to the highest point I could find quickly. I don't think I've personally ever witnessed colors like that in the sky. So vibrant and beautiful.

    I was recently visiting our mission Church in Turkana. The Turkana region is extremely remote and the local population is made of small groups of nomadic people. While there 4 villages came together to join in worship with us. This image is of one of the village tribal elders.

    Spent a couple days at the beach and was trying to attempt a night photo catching Haystack Rock along with the stars. Haven?t had much opportunity to practice and the sky was clear so, go for it. I had to cut off some of the sky due to roof overhead was in the way but it was an OK attempt for me. More practicing to follow.

    As the sun starts to set, the Bush Babies of Crocodile Bridge rest camp awaken. I sat patiently by the pole in the fence, waiting for them to emerge. These nocturnal beauties cautiously pop their heads up, then back down, before jumping off into the setting sky, eager for their night ahead.
