I Took a Wrong Turn… and Found This Sunrise

-

Sometimes the best photography locations are found completely by accident! In this video, I head out before sunrise to photograph a location I discovered while taking a drive through the rolling hills of Northern Kentucky. I wasn’t looking for a famous photography destination or an iconic landscape—I simply noticed something interesting while taking a different road. Armed with my Leica SL2, I return before sunrise to see what I can capture. From mist drifting across the fields to golden light, trees, rolling hills, old barns, and even a possible sunstar, this photography adventure is a reminder that you don't have to travel to the Tetons, Iceland, or the Faroe Islands to create meaningful landscape photographs. Sometimes the next great photography location is right down the road. The biggest takeaway from this video? Take a different route. Look around. Pay attention to what catches your eye. Then get up, get out, and take the photograph. 📷 In this video: Sunrise landscape photography Finding photography locations by accident Leica SL2 in the field Photographing rolling hills and rural landscapes Using golden hour light creatively Old barn photography Landscape photography composition Tips for finding unique photography locations close to home If you enjoy photography adventures, landscape photography, travel photography, Leica cameras, and discovering beautiful places that aren't on everyone's photography bucket list, consider subscribing!

Winter Cityscape Sunrise Photography | Cold Morning Urban Light

Experience a winter cityscape sunrise photography session overlooking downtown Cincinnati on my first Monday of retirement. After Snowmageddon moved through the region, I headed out early to capture a snowy urban sunrise, icy conditions, and morning traffic glowing beneath the city lights. From Devou Park, I photograph the city as the sun rises over the skyline, working through cold temperatures, fresh snow, and changing light. Later, I head down to the Roebling Bridge to capture rare ice on the Ohio River, something you don’t see very often. Snow falling during sunrise made this morning even more unexpected and special. In this video, I walk through my camera settings, lens choices, and thought process while shooting winter cityscapes in challenging conditions. This marks the beginning of a new chapter—retirement—and more time spent doing what I love: photography, storytelling, and being outdoors. If you enjoy cityscape photography, winter landscapes, sunrise shoots, or photography...
