Weehawken, NJ

ISO - 100     F/4     Exp. 1.6 sec    55mm

Work sent me to Weehawken, New Jersey for two weeks.  My hotel was located in Jersey City right along the Hudson River.  The weather was pretty uncooperative most of the time, but the rain let up one night and I was able to capture the beautiful skyline of Midtown Manhattan.  This was one of my first attempts at night photography and I actually think it turned out pretty well.  And don't worry, I made it over to the city several times (big thanks to my big bro and friends for entertaining me and showing me some great restaurants!)

Montauk - Lighthouse

ISO - 1600    F/4    Exp. 1/640    55mm

Who can resist taking a picture of a lighthouse?  There's just something about them that requires a photograph.  This was also taken during the trip to Montauk - with a sepia-esque touch up.

Montauk - Sunrise

ISO - 1600    F/4    Exp. 1/4000    55mm

I was lucky enough to go on an amazing trip to the Hamptons with my brother and a group of friends from his ward in New York.  During the trip, a few of us decided to wake up at 5:00am and drive to Montauk to watch the sunrise.  As tired as I was, it was well worth the sacrificed sleep.  Listening to the waves crash, feeling the cool morning breeze on my face, and watching the beautiful sun rise above the horizon makes for quite the serene moment....Serenity now!
