Sunrise

Chesapeake River Sunrise

This breathtaking sunrise was revealed in front of my eyes on June 14, 2016. When I made myself get up around 5:30am I was not sure if I could keep my eyes open and the possibility of going right back to sleep was quite strong. Then I looked out through the bathroom window in our house on Chesapeake Bay. What I saw pumped enough adrenaline into my veins to forget about sleep. The sky was already...

Coursey Pond Sunrise

The best part of shooting weddings is that they take you places. Last Thursday we have arrived to Rehoboth Beach, DE area for two weddings that we are photographing this weekend. Yesterday I woke up for sunrise and started exploring the local area. There was a lot of fields with agricultural machines spread all over and they would certainly make for an interesting aerial but none of them were at...

It's not that you can't fly and get something interesting... my goal is to get the spectacular and stunning. In the meantime...

It's hard to keep getting up so early in the morning... mainly because all my life I never really was a morning person! When I was in high school I played lots of computer games, when I was in college I would have online discussions about the very sense of existence and the outer limits of the Universe with people in USA (I lived in Poland for the first 26 years of my life). When I started doing...

Delaware City, DE

Planning my morning trips to the locations I always try to make sure I arrive right before the sunrise but sometimes things don't work out exactly as planned. On my way to Dealaware City this morning I could see the sun rising from the car as I was headed directly East: I was feeling so anxious to get to the point where I wanted to take the planned photo thinking that maybe I am already too...
