Capturing A Tourist Town At Blue Hour

Every year when we visit Ocean City, Maryland I take some time to go out and capture some scenes in good light. Of course with a big group most of the time we end up out eating at that time. This was a rare night when we were at the condo during blue hour. I went downstairs and out the door to this view. I loved the blue sky with the golden lights of the city below. These are the photos that I don’t plan that I often like the best when it is all said and done.

Using the Canon 24-105mm Lens

If you read this blog regularly then you are already sighing. I bought the lens a few years ago for our trip to the shore, and I have overused it ever since then. When you are just out walking around having a range of 24-105mm is amazing. You can get a fairly wide angle photo like the one above, or you can zoom in for details. I use the 105mm end much more than I thought that I would. This year when we go I will have the version II of the lens. So far it seems sharper, but at this point in the digital world it could just be my eyes telling me what I want to see.
