Adventure Sports Photography in Hudson Valley NY and more
Remember when you were a kid, waking up in the morning and seeing that blanket of white outside… and you just knew, NO SCHOOL TODAY!!!
As we grow older, our view- and appreciation- of that morning “winter grace” tends to fade. It’s no less beautiful… but now it means needing to shovel, plow, or snow-blow. It probably means having to wake up even earlier, and it adds time to your workday commute.
And then… if you’re a loony-tune like me… Continue reading “Happy Snowy Day”
Today’s adventure had us photographing these winged-wonders.

Last Friday we posted a photo-tip on social media; This recent cold snap brings with it excellent opportunity for some night sky photography.
Cloud cover acts like a blanket over the Earth, reflecting the overnight radiated heat back down. So it’s not totally coincidental when you see an unusually low temp one night, to also find the skies to be clear of clouds. And cold air holds another perk for the night owl shooter- colder air can not carry as much moisture in it, and humidity creates an awful “haze” that downs out all but the brightest of stars (or planets).
We took the opportunity on Friday to capture some artistic photos on a local farm for one of our clients, capturing how beautiful it is living here in the Hudson Valley of New York.
Afterwards- since I was already bundled up (and already frozen), and already out late with all my gear- I headed over to capture a different shot that’s been on my mind lately. Inspired by my buddy Benji, who’s a wicked talented photographer I might add, I ended up with this image.
Quite pleased with how it turned out, especially considering by this point in the night the moon was pretty high overhead, reflecting sunlight that usually detracts from crisp star captures… but in this case the moonlight helped illuminate the path, the ridge, and even a bit of Skytop Tower at the Mohonk Mountain House!
We are curious… did anyone else brave the cold and capture anything cool? If you have something you’d like to share email us and we’ll feature you on your blog and social media channels! [email protected]
Congratulations to Mike and Diana, who got engaged this weekend at Sam’s Point. He arranged to have us on-site for when he popped the question… nicely done sir!

We enjoy taking photos of anyone, anywhere… but this guy is one of my all time favorite faces to capture. He’s an amazing man, with an amazing beard 😆
Cheers to you Jimmy!
