Douglas Shoop Photography

Not many people photograph this famously red lobster shack in Rockport, MA from the rear, but in many ways, it's just as beautiful.  In fact, I've never really noticed it before.  So glad I did.  Enjoy

I was doing some housekeeping on Smugmug and came across this photo from many years back that need some attention. I had originally posted this as right out of the camera. I took this long before there was HDR and it's pretty much untouched except for some help from a Nik plugin. I'm liking this Hilton Head, SC pic much more now. Enjoy.

I took this shallow depth of field shot while visiting Mystic Seaport, CT a few years ago.  A sailboat's mast was being repaired, and I really liked how the rhythm of the eyelets and the dock posts beyond played off each other.  Enjoy.

This view of the boats in the harbor at Mystic Seaport, CT caught my eye and I had to sit down on the dock and take it.  It was so serene at that time the reflections were very compelling.  It just feels better in black and white.  Enjoy.
