Nature Meets City

Nature Meets City, originally uploaded by senecacreekphotography. A year ago if you had asked me if I wanted to go take pictures of the downtown of a city I would have told you we should get together to go hiking instead. Typically in my pictures I tend to leave out just about any traces of…

Serene Reflection

Serene Reflection, originally uploaded by senecacreekphotography. This was taken at Longwood Gardens in Pennsylvania. While waiting around for the fountain show I decided that I would wander through the water gardens again just to kill some time after already taking pictures there…. I happed to be at the right place at the right time just…

Roadside Day lily

Roadside Daylily, originally uploaded by senecacreekphotography. I seem to find the most day lilies just along the side of the road. They are beautiful for about two weeks but soon die and flop over due to the massive weight of how tall they are. I found this bunch on the corner of two roads and…

Canaan Valley Sunrise

Canaan Valley Sunrise, originally uploaded by senecacreekphotography. If you think of photographers as people who just sit around all day and take some pictures when they feel like it… well, I wish you were right!

Sometimes taking a break from looking at photos gives you a whole new appreciation for their beauty since now i see less of what i should have…

But when without a tripod, I always turn to increasing my ISO. In the past as you increase the ISO, you also increase your chance of digital noise….

Differences in Taste

I feel like this picture describes almost all the photo shoots I do with my family, and I’m pretty sure tons of other photographers out there as well. On a family trip to Yellowstone and the Tetons I took over 5,000 pictures and when going through them it seems like we are going to have…

Belle Isle Escape

This was actually taken on Bell Isle just miles from Downtown Detroit. Sometimes in order to find some beauty and nature in an urban area all you have to do is put out the effort to look for it. For anyone in the Detroit area, i would highly recommend getting out and onto this small…
