One of the more diverse and interesting parks in Florida is the Appalachicola National Forest. I have only got to explore very briefly 2 or 3 times and definitely would like to go back. This is one of the areas in Florida where black bears live. I have also seen […]
One morning I made the drive from Orlando over to Cocoa Beach for the sunrise. I mainly focused on the pier as is was my first time in the area and I did not know what all was around. Before sunrise I went exploring on the pier itself and there […]
The Blue Ridge Parkway through North Carolina is a beautiful place and there are a lot of great vistas and pullovers worth stopping at. My favorite waterfall from our trip[ last year was Crabtree Falls. It is only about a mile and a half hike I think. We weree there […]
Two more bird shots tonight. The first one is a cool silhouette of a Brown Pelican at sunrise. This is not the picture that I have had in my mind and have been looking for of a bird silhouetted against the rising or setting sun, but it is pretty close. […]
The two shots today are both from my sunrise shoot on the Sunshine Skyway Bridge from yesterday morning. The cool part is the old bridge which runs parallel to the new bridge is open for fishing or photography so you can get some different vantage points. These were taken from […]
Time of day can also make a huge difference in how you capture a subject. Both of these shots are from the St Petersburg Pier. One is at sunrise. The other was taken at night with the pier all lit up. They both have a really different feel to them. […]
Tonight’s photos are both of the Cocoa Beach Pier. However, that is about all that is similar about them. The first shot is of sunrise. The shot was processed as an HDR to really bring out the color and pop. The vertical composition allows for the sunrise colors to reflect […]
While waiting for the decision on if we would be able to take off for our hot air balloon ride I took a few pictures around the area. The two main things that caught my eye were the barn that I have already posted a picture of and this interesting […]
After shooting the sunrise and waiting for the right light to fall on the Lynn Cove Viaduct from the classic location I headed back up the Blue Ridge Parkway to the Tanawaha Trail. I read that this was a can’t miss trail and the beginning of it had some great […]
A quick post tonight. Two shots from Price Lake along the Blue Ridge Parkway. I shot this on my way back to our cabin near Boone from the Linn Cove Viaduct. There were some nice colors and a nice little mist hanging over the lake. [facebook]
