Not much to say tonight. Just decided to go with a few shots from the Smokies as I was having a hard time trying to decide what to post tonight. One shot that I frequently look for is to shoot out through a window using the window as a frame […]

Smoky Mountains Historic Cabins
I figured it was time for a little break from the Disney Christmas pictures so I’m putting up a few from our trip to the Smokies last fall. One of the best subjects for photography in the Smokies are the historic cabins. There are a lot of different angles to […]
Cades Cove – Tipton Place
The Tipton Place is probably my favorite homestead in Cades Cove. The house is easily framed using the wood fence around it. In this angle I happened to catch the sun as a starburst in the crook of the tree. Right across from it is the barn. The barn is […]
Great Smoky Mountains National Park – Stream and Missionary Baptist Church
While traveling through Great Smoky Mountains National Park there are endless opportunities to photograph small streams. It is difficult to go anywhere because as you round each corner you want to stop and photograph the next section of stream that you see. The stream shot tonight was captured off of […]

Smokies Wildlife
There are a couple of different ways to go about capturing animals in nature. One as with this elk shot is to try to capture an interesting behavior. The elk in Chataloochee were very active the morning I was there and the fog really made for a great atmosphere. These […]

Great Smoky Mountains National Park is known for its scenery, but it also has a lot of historic and beautiful architecture. The first shot is an old barn in Cades Cove at the Tipton Place. This style of barn is called a cantilever barn. They have a cantilever, or overhang, […]
