Douglas Shoop Photography

This is a composite photo of a few of the fireworks that went off on the Fourth in Wakefield, MA.  Enjoy.

I really liked how this tree reaches out over the water, so I moved into position for the sunset to be framed by the tree branches.  Enjoy.

Yes, riding home with my 16 yr old daughter, I needed something to take my mind of her new driving skills, and coaxed her to pull over while I took some photos at Lake Quanapowitt in Wakefield, MA. Enjoy.

I was with my 16 yr old daughter logging some road miles with her new permit, and I could see the sunset coming. I had her drive around Lake Quanapowitt in Wakefield, MA and scoped out this weeping willow and dead tree reaching out over the water. It's almost December, so very few leaves remain, but I think it makes the shot more interesting. I tried a bunch of HDR's and to be honest, they just weren't cutting it for me, so I just grabbed one of the darker photos and lightroomed it up. Too bad I left too soon, because about 10 minutes later, the sky was a deep, deep pink. Enjoy
