Eric Crossan

Before leaving for my last trip to the Seabreeze in St Croix ,USVI I purchased a 100 – 400 mm canon zoom lens .  After a month and a half I used this lens more than any other. On the last night of January a rare Blue Moon was very visible and bright  all night long. I did a google search to find out the approx. time then moon would set and set my alarm. At about 5:45 AM where we are used to watching the sun set was a hugh redish ball sinking into the Caribbean, the moon.  How cool ..  Al long exposure and very high ISO with the zoom cranked out to 400mm made the image . Hope to post this with others in a gallery at www.photographstcroix.com,  From one extreme to another I decided to experiment with my 16mm fisheye lens in a protective watertight bag and try to make some in water/out of water images.  It took a while but I finally made a few nice images including this one of a nice brain coral right in from of our rental condo the Seabreeze

nature photography workshop St Croix USVI

Today,Saturday I had the opportunity to conduct a nature photography workshop on St Croix in the USVI. It was held at the “SEA”’s Southgate Coastal Reserve on the Islands North East End.  Approx.  10 participants interested in expanding their knowledge of photography came and I explained items such as outdoor fill flash, use of polarizing filters, ISO settings, etc. A lot of questions were asked and each on answered. This was the second workshop I have held here and hope to come back again

Architectural Interior Panoramic

On a recent assignment in St Croix, USVI  our photography studio,Eric Crossan Photography,photographstcroix, was asked to photograph the interior the grand salon  at Mill Point which is built around a 1700’s sugar mill. But it was no ordinary request. The Property manager asked that the final photograph include the salon,kitchen and dining area. Even with my widest perspective correction lens I could not come close to capturing the entire space. So I made 2 images and stitched them together to create one spectacular final image. This is a perfect example of what a professional photographer can do to create an exciting image to help promote, advertise  or sell a property.
