Johhny Mercer Pier

A couple of days ago, I got to ride around and explore the southern coast of North Carolina with my aunt and photographer, Marianne  – check out her work to see fantastic black and white long exposures

This is a photo of the Johnny Mercer Pier in Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina at sunrise.

Back in September I visited Destin, FL to photograph a wedding. I got up early one day and found a pier in nearby Ft Walton Beach.

Back in September I visited Destin, FL to photograph a wedding. One day while there I got up early and found a pier in nearby Ft Walton Beach. These were all taken that morning at the pier

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

February’s “New Spot” – Long Hunter State Park

First, I have to give a shout out to Crovean Web Hosting, Design and SEO. Crovean is who I use for my web hosting. For the last couple weeks I haven’t been able to write new posts because I couldn’t upload new photos. I was having a problem with my sites template. Chriss, with Crovean, spent a lot of time late at night diagnosing and fixing the problem. If you need web hosting or web design work, you should definitely visit his site.

 

Thanks to this project, I finally visited a place I’ve had in mind for a long time. On a Sunday afternoon, the family and I headed out to Long Hunter State Park. It was really a beautiful area and we plan on visiting again. We also learned a couple things while we were there, for example they don’t allow dogs on the scenic hike around Couchville Lake. We brought our little dog so we weren’t able to take that hike, but the ranger pointed us in a direction that was open to pets. I did hang out there long enough to get a photo though:

 

 

Walking down the pier, we all stopped for a new family photo 🙂

 

 

After that, we headed out to another picnic area. There was a short trail that led to the lake that started out on a bluff that overlooks Percy Priest Lake:

And finally, down on the water of Percy Priest Lake:

The last spot is definitely a location I want to shoot at again. With a better sky and different time of day, it could be awesome!
