One of the landscape photography skills that I've been itching to improve is the use of longer exposures to increase my creative options. As an early birthday gift from me to me, I invested in a full set of filters from @nisiopticsusa a few weeks back. This is one of my first images with these fantastic filters.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ This image was from my trip with the fantastic team from @azhighwaysphotoscapes led by @amyhornphotographer. A big thanks to Amy, Megan and Christina for a great learning experience.⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ #landscape #longexposure #longexposurephotography #longexposure_shots #nikon #nikonphoto #nisifilters #nikon_photography #nikond7500 #landscape_captures #tamron #nikon_photography #tamronlenses #tamron2470 #sedonaarizona #arizona #adventuresinsedona #travelgoals

Had the opportunity to work on skills this past week with the fantastic team from @azhighwaysphotoscapes led by @amyhornphotographer. A big thanks to Amy, Megan and Christina for a great learning experience.⁠ ⁠ The Sedona sunset in this image was enhanced by a controlled burn in the area. While fires can enhance the beauty of a sunset, wildfires cause devastating damage to communities. Continue to pray for #california as we cope with our many wildfires that are devastating so many of our communities, and for the heroic first responders making a huge difference to those impacted.⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #withmytamron #tamron2470 #nikond7500 #nikon #socal #lallife #lifeinla #tamronlenses #tamronusa #nikonphotography #travelphotography #californiafires #californian #firstresponders #sedona #sedonaarizonia #cathedralrock #optoutside⁠
