Bodie Island Lighthouse

What a beautiful place this was!

No gates + No entry fees + No closing times + No tripod police + Beautiful location = Photographers dream

 

I took a quick roadtrip (quick because I was leaving from Raleigh, NC) to the Outer Banks. I hung out at the Bodie Island lighthouse for a couple hours. Shooting it before, during, and after sunset and into the night. I’ve got a couple of photos that I want to share over the next week or so. Hope you all enjoy!

Storm over Raleigh, NC

So I was setting up to photograph the Raleigh, NC skyline at sunset/night when I turned around and saw this massive ugly front moving in behind me. I decided to stay in hopes that it would move over the city and that I could get a shot of it before it started raining. Right after I took this photo, it started pouring and I had to run back to car. Even though it was a short distance, I was soaked!

Here is an iPhone photo of the front as it came in behind me:

Atlanta at Night

So I’ve been away from my computer for a couple of weeks. During that time, I visited Atlanta and was able to shoot from this incredible location. Located near Georgia Tech, I’m sure it’s a g0-to spot for many photographers in the area. There is a chain link fence with a hole cut in it, just big enough for my lens, and just tall enough for my tripod. Convenient 🙂
