Little church on a hill, Happy Easter! Photographed with an infrared converted D7000 and NIKKOR 14-24mm wide-angle lens in beautiful Palouse a few years ago. Have a wonderful day! #Photography

@Obong

I love the mystery of silhouettes and enjoyed shooting birds at a nearby lake. I liked the dramatic shapes and waited for an interesting gesture to make a few shots. Graphite Picture Control in my Nikon Z 7II, NIKKOR 500 PF lens.Happy Saturday, have a great day! #Photography

@Obong

This is a screenshot of the images downloaded to my phone from the ⁦Nikon app Snapbridge! I’m so excited the painted bunting came back today. I was able to shoot both stills and video, can’t wait to share!! Have a wonderful weekend! #Photography

@Obong

In-camera double exposure self-portrait taken with my Nikon Z 7II using my silhouette with colorful flowers, I'm ready for spring! I used Nikon's app Snapbridge for remote photography while my camera is tripod mounted, NIKKOR Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S lens. #Photography

@Obong

Happy First Day of May! Underwater flowers shot with my Nikon Z 6 and NIKKOR Z 24-70mm S lens. This was fascinating to do, I’m equally enjoying the reflections as much as the flowers. #Photography

@Obong

Two of my favorite photographs of old docks. I love to convey a sense of time passing with my photographs! The first shot Nikon D5, NIKKOR 14-24mm f/2.8 wide-angle lens, with a shutter speed of almost 6 minutes using a 15 stop ND to create a long exposure. #Photography

@Obong

Paris at night a few years ago... I love to photograph streets with dramatic light and shadow, all so beautiful in black and white. NIKKOR 50mm is a great walk-around lens, while my NIKKOR 16-30mm, Nikon D4 captured the wide-angle view of the cafe. #Photography

@Obong

This sunrise seascape was photographed with my Nikon Z 7 and NIKKOR Z 14-30mm f/4 wide-angle lens at 1/15th of a second to capture the stretch of waves reaching the shore. I like how the waves echo the clouds, first light can be amazing #Photography

My Nikon Z 7, NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/4 S lens, and some amazing clouds in San Francisco a few years ago. It's always great when your awesome photographer friend will put down their camera and step in for a quick shot! #Photography

@Obong

Beautiful lavender fields in the south of France. To record cloud movement in the 6-minute shot, I used my Nikon D4, NIKKOR 16-35mm f/4 wide-angle lens, and a 15 stop ND. I love to create an image that shows wind-painted clouds. #Photography

@Obong

I love shooting just before sunrise, the colors in the sky can be amazing! A 30-second shot stretches out the clouds and softens the ocean waves. Photographed with my Nikon Z 7II and NIKKOR Z 14-24mm f/2.8 S mid-range zoom on Florida's east coast. #Photography

@Obong

Hope you're having a great weekend! Photographed with my Nikon Z 7II and NIKKOR Z 14-24mm f/2.8 wide-angle lens on Florida's east coast #Photography

@Obong

I love shooting during the blue hour. The light creates magical shooting conditions with rich colors in the sky, and balanced light throughout the frame. Miami Beach shot with the Nikon Z 7 & NIKKOR Z 14-30mm lens 30 sec for the slow traffic #Photography

@Obong

Quiet purple dawn on the east coast of Florida during a super low tide. Photographed with the Nikon Z 7II and NIKKOR Z 14-24mm f/2.8 S wide-angle zoom lens, 30 seconds for each shot for a soft blur of the clouds and ocean waves. Have a wonderful Sunday! #Photography

@Obong

@Obong

I caught some cool clouds this morning, courtesy of SpaceX. This was photographed about 80 miles north of Cape Canaveral on the beach with my Nikon Z 6II. #Photography

@Obong

I love starting out the day well before sunrise. 30-second shots blur the clouds and soften the waves, creating a peaceful long exposure look with a few stars. First shot, Nikon Z 7II & NIKKOR Z 14-24mm f/2.8 S wide-angle lens. Have a wonderful New Week #Photography

@Obong

Do you know how to put a pop of color into your imagery? Each silhouette was combined with floral shots in-camera with the Nikon Z 7II and NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S mid-range zoom lens. No Photoshop needed! Have a wonderful week ahead!🙂 #Photography
