Photography and I have known each other for a while now, but for years I never considered it a passion. Thanks to a previous co-worker, that passion would embed itself in me and never go away. Hiking up mountains or across beaches, typically in bad weather, all to get that perfect shot. Though I may never have a perfect shot, the images below are some that I'm proudest of. Please enjoy.

One thing to note about this shot. It isn't actually one shot, but rather a composite of two. One exposing for the sky and the other for the foreground. They were later merged together in Photoshop.
Conclusion
I realize now, all of these shots were taken with my Canon Rebel XT. Which was my first DSLR and very old. The last I knew, it was still in my family though, as I handed it down when I upgraded. For those curious, I currently shoot with a Nikon D5200 personally and a Nikon D5100 at work. Regardless, I hope you enjoyed.
Thank you for reading.
