©Rob Nitsch Since Morgan just left the cape today I thought I would post another photo from one of our outings.  I made this photo last year and once again it was a sunset that definitely underwhelmed.  There was only one small cloud far off on the horizon so the […]

Shots with Morgan Ryan

Some days you just cant make it happen.  The night I went out to shoot I was with my cousin  in-law , Morgan.  We had watched the sky all afternoon and thinking that we were going to have a pretty good sunset.  We had some clouds a good location and […]

Sea Grass

I am feeling a little patriotic looking at todays Cliché friday picture.  Obviously, these guys were far from being cliché but, this is the perfect example of a cliché photograph.  I know thousands, if not millions of people have taken this photo from almost the same exact spot.  So Why […]

Cliché Friday – Mount Rushmore

Today’s photo comes from Yellowstone River, right above the upper falls.  The speed at which this water barrels through the canyon is normally impressive, but you add the tremendous snow melt from last winter and it becomes down right scary.  The ominous mood of that day was also punctuated by […]

Turbulance

Anything can grow in good light, that stands true for photographs too.  As I was scanning through my photos from the trip I notice this one, not because it had some overpowering subject matter but quite the opposite.  It is a patch of wild clovers growing on a felled redwood […]

Clovers

Even though I am on The Cape now and surrounded by some of the most beautiful landscapes and sunsets on the planet, I  am still posting pictures from our cross country trip.  Well, I will be honest with you, I haven’t gotten much of a chance to go out and […]

Red Boat

Here is a photo I meant to post a while back but the Apple gods disallowed it.  On first day on our cross-country road trip I spent the majority of my time at the genius bar.  It was a simple fix and I would have done it myself but all […]

This Fridays cliché photo is for all the New Englander’s, Cape Codders to be specific.  Anyone who venters to the tip of the Cape and is carrying a camera can not resist at least grabbing a snap shot of the overtly regional neon signs.  Amazing that the Lobster Pots signs […]

Cliché Friday – The Lobster Pot

Before you ask, no I didn’t not stop in Africa on my cross country trip.  I made this photo at the Los Angeles Zoo!  I practice my wildlife portraits at zoos, that way I can be prepared when I head into the wild.  A good tip for shooting at a […]

This is one of the photos in my library that I love and hate all at the same time.  I be completely honest with you, I made a huge mistake when I shot it.  You may think it looks great now and really I think it does look good.  This […]

Dory Sky

This was one of those photos that I did a lot of stupid things to get.  It was low tide on a very stormy day when I shot this.  There is a parking lot that is elevated about the endless meadow of seagrass so I immediately spotted the contrast of […]

Dead Tree

This was one of the fastest sunrises ever!  I got up at 4:30 am to head over to the harbor and shoot the first light.  I was expecting epic clouds becuase the night before a storm rolled through, but what I got was grey mush.  Well luckily I was able […]

Chatham Sunrise

Another stormy landscape from the Brewster flats!  Although this one is not from the recent storm, I actually made this photo a year ago.  This day the Sun was not giving much in the way of dramatic lighting, yes I was a dramatic sky but, the lighting was quite flat. […]

Tidal Puddle

This was a fun photo to make.  I was actually headed to another location when I saw the light glancing off the wild grass on the side of the trail.  I knew I wanted to make a photo with very dramatic New England clouds and I wanted to catch the great […]

Diffusion

Nothing more cliché then a sunset photo, right? Well, when lighting, thunder and hail unleash a lot of people run for cover, I run for my camera.  This storm passed through right before sunset.  We were getting pounded out here on the Cape.  I had already caught the picture I […]

Cliché Friday – Stormy Sunset

Sometimes it isn’t a bad idea to look back, reflect on what is behind you, then move on.  In Photography, it is good to just turn around around and look the other way.  Remember sunrises (and sunsets) cast beautiful light.  You don’t always have to point to the sun.  I […]

looking back

Sometimes you just get lucky.  Last night I was headed out to shoot the sunset on the Cape, funny thing is mother nature likes to keep things interesting for landscape photographers.  I decided to do a little over sand driving to see if I could get a good vantage point […]

lightning strikes

We arrived at our new home!  Well, we really arrived about two weeks ago.  I had so many more pictures from the trip to post that I didn’t make the announcement.  I still have more from the journey but, I thought it was time to post something from the Cape. […]

Point of Rocks Beach

Talk about pre-visualizing an image, when Sarah and I started planning our trip  across country months ago, this is the photo that immediately came to mind for me.  Even though we were planning stops at all these amazing National Parks and scenic locations this was the photo I knew I […]

Something small and something tall

Its Cliché Friday again!  Here is my version of the Old Faithful geyser in Yellowstone National Park.   My first attempt at getting this photo was a bust, the weather of that day was of the thunderstorm flavor, which made it very dramatic walking in the volcanic landscape but,  gave […]
