Last Sunrise

I made it up for the last sunrise of 2016.  This is a photography blog so that’s enough words.

Always Go Back…If You Can.

It pays to scout out a new shooting location.  Then you can go back and get the good shots.  I’m glad I still had time on our little trip or I wouldn’t have discovered this awesome angle of yesterday’s shoot.

I’ve found that some of the best sunrises are during the winter months.  It’s tough, though, to get motivated to get out of a warm bed and subject myself to frozen hands, but the end result is usually well worth it.

The James

How appropriate was it that we’d take the Williamsburg back across the James?!

Not sure what it is about Williamsburg, but we really love it here.

The River

One of our favorite places to visit is WIlliamsburg and the last time we ventured out a little further than usual and found this place.  Needless to say there’s a ton of history in this area and we’d never been to this site before.  And as always, great photo opportunities everywhere we went.
