Fall Colors In The Smoky Mountains

 Smoky Mountain Colors

This year my fall trip to The Great Smoky Mountains National Park was a mixture of fun and photography! The weather was excellent unlike last year when fog took over for just about the whole trip and made for some blah colors. This year with the help of mother nature the colors were top notch and the air was clear for me to capture them. There are so many beautiful spots in the park that I have a hard time picking spots to photograph. I took this one on the Roaring Fork Motor Trail which I found to be full of spots including waterfalls, old structures and houses and of course the beautiful water. My personal favorite spot to stay during my journey is Wilderness at the Smokies, which combines a water park, golf courses and indoor fun center.

Darkness Falls Over The Sound

I’m back from my week long trip to the Outer Banks of North Carolina and the trip was wonderful! I captured some amazing images, now it’s time to process all those images and share them all. 🙂

This is one I took over the Roanoke Sound just after sunset it’s a long exposure (30 seconds) taken at a pretty high ISO (3200) using my Canon 6D.  I love the colors and the mood of this photo, plus there are the stars in the upper right corner, the reflections in the water.

I’ve decided to add some of the photo’s from this trip to my eBook “Photographing Bodies Of Water” the book will be released in the near future. The book is a story of my journeys and trips photographing different parts of the coast, rivers, streams, ponds and lakes. Along the way in the book I give tips to beginners looking to improve their photography, tips like gear selection, tips on composing photographs and post processing tips.

Back From Georgia :)

Hey guys I’m back from Georgia, the week went by way too fast… But no worries I captured lots of photographs to share of my journey.  I have spent the last two evenings sorting through the 2,000 photographs to pick which ones need to be edited and shared. Some of you may wonder how I store my photographs and keep up with them all…. Well on a trip  I usually pack one or two portable hard drives which I download the pictures from my camera to the drives (1TB LaCie Rugged) and another copy on my laptop.  Then once I’m at home I use Lightroom 4 to catalog all of them, the ones to edit I give 4 stars too and the ones that are completed get 5 stars, my smart categories pull these into folders where I can view the ones to edit or post.

Fun With The Fall Colors

By | Photography | No Comments

I was out shooting the leaves on the Blue Ridge Parkway when I found this tree with some cool colors but really couldn’t come up with a good composition….  So I decided to try something a little bit different. I used my Canon T1i with a 70-200mm F4L lens and zoomed in to the leaves once I had it focused and fired off the shot I turned the zoom ring while the camera was taking the photo. The result was a pretty wild abstract full of color and would look great hanging on someone’s wall.

Smoky Mountains…. Man they weren’t joking

By | Landscapes, Photography, Tennessee | No Comments

So I recently took a trip to the Smoky Mountains National Park in Tennessee to photograph the fall colors in the mountains, but mother nature obviously wanted to make it harder than it really needed to be. Both days were filled with dense fog, rain and the temperatures hovered around the 50-40 degree range. I was determined to take pictures though and that I did…. Were they the quality images I was hoping to get?  Let me know what you guys think!
