A Turtle in the Road

So I found this little guy trying to cross the road in front of my house the other day. Of course I saved him from being flattened by some passing cars, but first I had to take some photos of him!

This is the fourth turtle I’ve saved from the road this year, but this one had so much more personality than the others. He was not shy at all, and was more than happy to walk around on the road for me 🙂

Murfreesboro Healing Field at Sunset

I went out to the Healing Field in Murfreesboro for sunset yesterday. The Healing field is set up every Memorial Day, more information on it is available here: Healing Field

The sky turned out to be amazing! To see a full panorama of this field, click HERE

Tennessee State Capitol (and the Lion king)

I met up with Warne Riker downtown Nashville the other evening to get a shot I’ve had in mind for a while. The Lion King trailer is there because of the Lion King musical that is playing at the TPAC.

Springfield, Tennessee – Courthouse

I made my way to Springfield, TN for the first time this past Saturday. I was there doing some pet photography on the square (coming soon to the blog), and managed to grab this shot in between.

Sunday Sunset – Panorama

Sunday Sunset - Panorama

Another panorama! Just like the last one, this is a 4 shot panorama (each a 7 exposure HDR). I was at home when I noticed the skies taking shape. Without much time to get to a more interesting spot, I headed to the farm field across from my house 🙂

I was in Nashville for an engagement session Sunday evening 4/29. Once we finished we shooting, I decided to wait around to see if the sunset would be nice….. It was 🙂

Nashville Sunrise

 

 

Late last week I had to head into Nashville early so I decided to stop to get a few shots of the city. I realized I completely lucked out just as I was parking. I quickly headed to the banks of the Cumberland River and this is what happened:

Typically, this is a great spot to shoot the sunset but there was so much color in the sky from the sunrise this morning that it stretched all the way into the western sky. The above photo is a 6 shot panorama. Each is a 3 exposure HDR. The photos were merged into HDR using Photomatix and then merged into panorama using Photoshop.

 

Once the sky died down a bit and the sun came up more it cast some beautiful orange light on the buildings:

I have another shot from this morning that I will be using for another full tutorial over on SOHDR.com – check it out if you are interested in learning HDR!
