San Diego

“America’s Finest Evening” is one of my babies from my portfolio. This area in La Jolla is where I taught myself how to photograph. It’s being donated to a fantastic charity that offers support to grieving children and their caregivers. We like to work with charities, so keep us in mind if you’re ever looking for donations.

Bird Eye View

It seems like just yesterday Julie and I were enjoying a typical evening walk at the beach. Since I pretty much have the coolest wife ever who puts up with a geeky husband who drags a camera and tripod everywhere. This image was taken Ocean Beach, California 2009.

Nahant Beach

Nahant Beach is located Northwest of Boston. A beautiful sunrise with some dancing clouds.  [pinterest-pro type=”pinit” pin_url=”http://papekphotography.com/nahant-beach/” pin_image_url=”http://www.papekphotography.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/ScottPapek1.jpg” pin_counter=”horizontal” pin_desc=”Nahant Beach photograph taken by Scott Papek.”]

 

 

Kauai

Dear Kauai it’s been so long since I’ve seen you. I miss your colors, your vibe, beaches, sand, trails, lifestyle and primo. You were good to Julie and I, take care and hopefully we see you soon. This Image was taken about 35 minutes before sunrise. If you look closely to the middle left, the reflection on the water is a jogger.

Post Storm

Why all the storm images? Good question, with my images in Hot Shops the month of May it’s given me a chance to spend quality time with people like you who follow my work. What’s really awesome about people like you who follow my work is how smart and passionate you are about art. The last 3 images posted on the blog are not showcased in the Hot Shops and I’m hearing about it. So I’m listening to you and showcasing images you like.

Clouds make or break a Image for me. The sky is a Landscape Photographers lightsource so it’s pretty important to pay attention above. Nerbraska skies offers some of the most incredible clouds and color. This Image was taken in 2011 off 181stish and 370 in Nebraska.  

Here is my formula when hunting for a shot.

1. Sky

2. Light

3. Subject

4. Composition

5. Is it safe for me or nature
