Trapper’s Cabin

Happy New Year Everyone,

I wanted to share one last image for 2010 that I made earlier in the week when we got a couple inches of fresh snow.  This little cabin is in Atglen and has been completely remodeled both inside and out.


Thanks for checking in, and stay tuned for many more images and notes from the field.

Atglen Streets



Hello Everyone,

Shooting the streets of my home town always provides a challenge. It’s tough to get an empty street without parked cars or traffic. Here I wanted to capture the holiday lights so I made my way downtown about hour and a half before sunrise. If I waited till civil twilight (which I would have preferred) the traffic doubles and reduces my chances of shooting without streaks of car lights.  I guess I’m going to do a repeat shoot on a Sunday morning when people sleep in Smile

Yellowstone Winter

Hello Everyone,
In honor of the winter solstice I wanted to share an image that I made several years back on a week long photo outing to the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone.  It was a great trip but the first thing that comes to mind was that each morning the temps were hovering right at  -20 degrees F… burrr

Graffiti Underground

Hello Everyone,
Over the weekend I had the opportunity to shoot with Tony Sweet, Bob Lott, Greg McKean & Harry Sandler. Our first stop was at the Graffiti site in Philadelphia and then onto Eastern State Penitentiary for a private tour.

After reading Bob Lotts blog we made a very similar image. His was a nine frame HDR (which turned out great) and mine was a 3 frame manual HDR image. When I say manual, I shot one exposed for the foreground, one for the background and a final image exposed for the mid tones.  I used Nik’s HDR Efex Pro for my processing!

Street Shooting


Hello Everyone,
Street shooting at night can be fun but it’s also difficult to capture the complete range of exposures. If you get the overall exposure right, all of the lights will be blown out. It’s an issue that I’ve yet to resolve <grin>.  Here are a couple of fun shots that I wanted to share! 


Don’t forget about Nik’s Holiday sale starting next week. Go to www.niksoftware.com and then use the code “EHEATON” to get these amazing deals. This makes a great Holiday gift for the photographer in your family!!!

Doors of Atglen

During the summer I was working on a project photographing the doors of Atglen. It’s a fun project and is always changing depending on the season and door decorations. Here's a triptych image of doors.  
I used Topaz Labs “Simplify” to add the painterly effects.
