April 27th, 2022 Recent Shoots, Tours and Workshops

Yosemite Photo Workshop 2022   In February 2022, Lerro Photography organized a photography photo workshop at Yosemite National Park. Yosemite is one of America’s most popular National Parks and is world-renowned through the artwork of landscape photographer Ansel Adam.   We planned our photo workshop to coincide with the Fire Falls event at Horsetail Falls as well as the potential of winter storms. The winter snowfall got off to a great start with several big snowstorms in December and January but unfortunately, it warmed up the week proceeding our workshop so most of the snow in the valley melted just… [Read More]

On the 2nd day, we returned to San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge and were treated to a beautiful sunrise. During our midday break, some of our group chose to take the boat trip over to Alcatraz Island to photograph both the exterior… [Read More]

January 5th, 2022 Recent Shoots, Themed, Tours and Workshops

Pin-up on the Battleship New Jersey In November 2021, Lerro Photography sponsored a two-day vintage pin-up photo shoot on the Battleship New Jersey. Each day, our small group of participants got to photograph the lovely ladies in various parts of the ships. Despite the cold wind and some rain outside, the models were great sports while being photographed out on the decks and on top of Turret 1. They were able to warm up while posing in places like the engine room, the bridge, CEC and other areas of the ship. The Battleship New Jersey was a great host for… [Read More]

Air to Air Photo Shoot 2021

December 13th, 2021 Aviation, Recent Shoots, Themed, Tours and Workshops

Air-to-Air Photo Shoot – October 2021 TBM Avenger and the F4U Corsair The Military Aviation Museum is home to one of the largest private collections of World War I and World War II era military aircraft in the world, which made it an obviously choice for us to photograph. The museum is located in Virginia Beach, VA and with it being located near the ocean, it only made sense for us to go with a US Navy aircraft theme. After consulting with the photographers, we decided to use two World War II aircraft, the TBM Avenger and the F4U Corsair,… [Read More]

Age of Steam Roundhouse 2020 Review

January 3rd, 2021 Railroads, Recent Shoots, Tours and Workshops

Age of Steam 2020 Review In 2019, Lerro Photography started discussions with the Age of Steam Roundhouse in Ohio on doing a photo shoot and had tentatively planned on running a public shoot in mid-2020. Unfortunately, the Covid-19 pandemic put a stop to those plans. After some discussion during the summer of 2020, it was decided to do a smaller scale “test shoot” to see how a socially distanced photo shoot could work inside the roundhouse. For the photo shoot, we had to acquire two large fog machines because we cannot use our usual smoke bombs inside the museum. The… [Read More]

Split Rock Lighthouse Photo Review 2020

December 29th, 2020 Lighthouses, Uncategorized

Split Rock LighthouseLake Superior, MNNovember 2020 To mark the anniversary of the sinking of the S.S. Edmund Fitzgerald in Lake Superior, the Split Rock Lighthouse illuminates its 3rd order Fresnel lens for about two hours every year. On average, the lighthouse only turns its light on two to three times a year, making it a rare occurrence. I’ve always wanted to attend this event, but personal scheduling never allowed. This year, however, I made it a point to go.  In years past, I had tried to schedule a photo shoot and get the lens lit for just our photo group… [Read More]

Michigan Lighthouse Photo Workshop Review

Michigan Lighthouse Photo Workshop ReviewSeptember 2020 Lerro Photography ran a photography workshop of the lighthouses around Ludington, Mich., in September 2020. With the ongoing pandemic, all COVID-19 protocols were followed during the tour. We started off at Little Sable Point Lighthouse where we shot in the evening and at night. The clouds had rolled in so we didn’t get any star shots, but we still managed to get a few good night shots of the lighthouse with the sand dunes and the lake. On Saturday morning we met up at Ludington Breakwater Lighthouse for morning shots and the departure of… [Read More]

Vintage Aircraft Photo Shoot

October 9th, 2020 Recent Shoots, Themed, Tours and Workshops, Uncategorized

As with most large events in 2020, nearly all airshows had been cancelled, including the Yankee Air Museum’s “Thunder Over Michigan” airshow. As the saying goes when one door closes, another opens. In this case, it allowed Lerro Photography the opportunity to put together a last-minute photo shoot. Since the museum had everyone already scheduled, they were more than happy to host us. While following Michigan’s Covid-19 rules, Lerro Photography was able to put together a number of reenactment photo shoots throughout the day. The schedule featured two air-to-air photo shoots, an afternoon ground shoot and a night session. For… [Read More]

North Carolina Lighthouse Photo Workshop 2020 Review  Lerro Photography hosted the North Carolina Lighthouse photo workshop from July 22-26, 2020. The workshop was originally scheduled for May, but the Covid-19 pandemic forced a delay. Once things started to calm down, we were able to reschedule for July, providing we were able to follow social distancing rules set by the State and National Parks.  During the trip we were surrounded by lightning storms but the skies above us were clear and offered us a great view of the Milky Way as well as the Comet NEOWISE. The first part of the… [Read More]

Virginia & Truckee Railway 2020

March 25th, 2020 Railroads

For the third photo shoot in our February 2020 program we visited the Virginia & Truckee Railway. We’ve been to the Virginia & Truckee before, but this time around we had an operating boxcar and real caboose to go along with the small fleet of freight cars from the V&T collection. The V&T has plenty of photo props, including two tunnels and deep rock cuts. One original V&T depot survives along the route, and there are many remnants of structures used when the region was busy with gold and silver mining. We were able to use trackside locations, as well… [Read More]
