The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is always on my list for fall photography. This year the colors were pretty good, maybe not as good as two years ago when I went but it’s always beautiful. This shot was taken near Townsend while wading the creeks with my Canon 6D. I just loved the reflection of the colors that created this tunnel of color.
Here’s a photo from my recent trip to one of my all time favorite beaches – Holden Beach, NC. I absolutely love this place if you haven’t visited it yet you should give it a try!
Waterfalls make excellent subjects to photograph. The one thing I love about them is most of them require a hike to get to the actual waterfall. It’s kind of like finding a prize at the end of a maze! Waterfalls are natural beauty and can create beautiful prints to hang in your home or office.
Tip: To create an image like this slow your shutter speed down to around .5 second or longer this can be achieved by the use of ND filters or by photographing them during overcast cloudy days.
I used a setting of F22 without an ND Filter for this shot of Laurel Falls.
It’s been a slow start to 2015 for me but I’m starting to get back to the grind. The beautiful mountains here in Virginia always make for great photographs. Mix them up with a Formatt Hitech Firecrest 16 Stop ND Filter and you get something like this. I edited this one using Intensify by the awesome folks over at Macphun!
The weather has been cold lately here in Virginia for a few weeks with warm days here and there. I took the opportunity the cold weather brings and hiked up to the Cascades in Pembroke, VA for some winter photography. This was one I took along the way up to the water fall. You should visit the Cascades at any time of the year for a beautiful dose of nature.
I’m adding a new store to my blog where I will be adding presets throughout the year! First I’ve added a Lightroom Split Toning pack which has 7 of my favorite presets. These can be used on landscapes, portraits, macro shots or anything you wish! Here’s an example I created using the included preset Yellow Flowers.
