Long Branch

The Summer Is Official Now.... Visiting the New Jersey shore offers any photographer great photo ops.   Each year millions pour onto the pristine beaches starting on the north end at Sandy Hook and connecting to beaches at Long Branch, Deal, Asbury Park, Bradly Beach, Belmar, Sea Girt, Pt. Pleasant, Seaside Heights, Long Beach, Atlantic City, Avalon, Wildwood and the furthest south, Cape May.  Of course there are many others in between, but I think you get the point.  New Jersey offers bathers white sand and clean blue waters and a day of fun. However to the photographer it offers so many wonderful opportunities to capture the beauty of the the landscape, the people and the activities. 

Len Rapoport, IPA president and his wife love to visit the Long Branch Oceanfest which is held on the July 4th weekend. It is a prelude to the spectacular local fireworks held by each township on the July 4th weekend. With a good camera, some nice glass on your camera and a tripod, you too can take photos like these.

Visit our full story to see some of the wonderful photos and our video of Oceanfest and don't miss the magnificent fireworks display that took place on the Navasink River in Red Bank, on the July 3rd evening.

Len was able to shoot his video with his Nikon D90 camera and a Gitzo Tripod on the lawn of a 33,000 square foot mansion situated on 14 acres of beautifully landscaped property and only a short distance from the Bon Jovi estate.

 

 

Dock

This is the dock from the estate to their boats on the Navasink. It is an HDR (High Dynamic Range) image. Made up of 5 separate photos, all shot at different exposures. 

Below is one of the many great shots Len took of the fireworks. "Sitting on the lawn, watching this right in front of my eyes, so close and so beautiful, was a night I will long remember" said Len. "It was like winning a contest of some sort and I hope my images can show you the excitement we felt just being there." Find out how he did this and learn how easy it is to shoot fireworks with your camera and a steady tripod.  

Watch our complete story and photos, coming soon.

See What Our Members Say....

" I have been an IPA member for years and recently took my family to Orlando Florida on vacation.  I saved hundreds of dollars on Disneyworld and Universal Studios day admission passes (they gave us 4 for my family) and more on other area attractions (all I had to do on most was show my IPA press card).  I can honestly say that I save thousands of dollars through the IPA programs each year and the other benefits companies offer members of the media.  Thank you IPA for not only helping me earn more money as a photographer by gaining important access to so many events, but for helping me save money in these tough economic times and of course by always keeping me motivated to go out and promote my work.  By the way I also belong to the IPA groups on Facebook and LinkedIn too"...IPA Member Evan R, WPB, Florida.
