B. Payden Photography 365 - Day 45 - 03/27/10 Salamander

This image was recorded at Sandy Bottom Nature Park in Hampton, Va. in the spring of 2008. I was three stories up on an observation platform, overlooking a wetlands preserve, shooting Blue Herons and Great White Egrets when I spotted this Salamander on the railing. I quickly swung my 300mm lens around on the tripod and captured this image a second before the Salamander disappeared over the side of the railing.

B. Payden Photography 365 - Day 30 - 03/12/10: Norfolk, Va. Waterfront

This image is of the Norfolk, VA. waterfront shot from the Portsmouth side of the Elizabeth River. I used my 17-40mm wide angle lens to capture as much of the waterfront as possible. I also use this lens for my Real Estate and Virtual Tour photography because, as you can see, the Canon "L" glass has very little distortion even at the 17mm range.

B Payden Photography 365 - Day 26 03/08/10: Hampton Coliseum with Holiday Lighting

This image is of the Hampton Coliseum in Hampton, Va. with their holiday lighting. This shot is of the front of the coliseum and the fountain. Every year between Thanksgiving and New Years they change the regular white accent lighting to these beautiful alternating colored lights. I recorded this image just after Christmas of 2008 with an almost 2 second exposure, I love the reflected lights in the fountain and every time I see the Coliseum lit like this I know it's the holidays and I'm home!
