 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.

Photographing Downtown Roanoke, VA

This past Sunday I had the pleasure to walk around and photograph the city of Roanoke, VA with some members from Exposure Roanoke.  Exposure Roanoke is a local meetup group who host numerous events for photographers of all skill levels, from hikes to photographing people in need. If you’re interested in photography you should definitely check them out!

 

Photo Share – Sunset On The Tracks

My Canon 6D is off to CPS for repairs…. so for this walk I was using my trusty Canon T2i, which by the way I just replaced with a Canon 60D this week (thanks to B&H Photo for the awesome deal! *body only $599 until Aug 31st*)    I might miss the old camera… it’s the one I cut my teeth on and learned after so many mistakes and not once did it let me down….

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.

The View From Mount Washington

A Look At Pittsburgh- Through My Lens

 

This was taken last February from Mount Washington  it was a really windy over cast day and pretty chilly.  The city is full of bridges, great architecture and photo op’s abound. I wasn’t as good at photography then as I feel I am now…. I can’t wait to revisit this same spot one day in the future, to  try and create an even better version of this shot.  The City Of Bridges, The Steel City, Pittsburgh whichever you prefer this city is full of really neat things and places. On our trip we had the opportunity to visit the Pittsburgh Zoo and Aquarium which is very large and quite nice with lots of cool exhibits and animals.

The above photo was taken with a Canon T2i and a kit lens handheld and later edited with Photomatix Pro to create the HDR version. The view is spectacular and you can see for miles and miles!

Snowy Weather In The Roanoke Valley

Crazy Weather In Virginia

Man the weather sure has been weird lately…. a mixture of snow, 70 degree days, more snow, 6″ of rain and more snow….  I’m really not sure what to think about all of this. But on the photography side of things it has allowed me some warm days to get out and capture some sunsets and sunrises. After the first snow storm I went out to capture the sunrise with the fresh snow on the ground and sticking to the tree limbs the final image was one of the best so far in 2013 and was featured on the front page of the Salem Times Register on February 7, 2013.
