Pier Stars
The starburst effect on the pier lights reminded me of stars in the night sky. In photography, this effect happens when small, bright light sources, like streetlights or the sun, radiate sharp, pointed rays. You can achieve this by using a small aperture (a high f-stop number like f/16 or f/22). In the photo above,…

USCG Station Point Allerton

As you may already know, it’s one of my favorite spots for early morning photography. There’s something truly special about sunrise photography. The calmness of…
