A single red leaf clings to a wet rock. The color in the water is reflected from the beautiful trees with golden leaves. A slightly long shutter speed was used to show motion in the water. Taken in the Tremont area of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park
So this past Tuesday I went to the Smokies. I only had one day to devote to fall color in east Tennessee so I left my house at 3am in order to be in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park by sunrise. I arrived at this vantage point around 30 minutes before sunrise. This shot encompasses 3 of my favorite things to photograph – East Tennessee, Sunrise, and Autumn
So I awoke to some awesome fog on Friday morning. Once I got the kids up and off to school, I grabbed the camera and headed out. Drove around and shot for an hour or so and then I came up on this scene right outside of Murfreesboro. Took a while to get the beautiful horse to pose just right 🙂

Here’s another night scene I photographed in rural Bedford County the other night. The moon was so bright it lit the field up as though it were day. This is a 30 second exposure, the cows were amazingly still 🙂
Looks better if you click on it!!! 🙂
So I left the house late Saturday night in search of night scene to shoot. I took off on some back roads in rural Bedford County. Came across a few interesting scenes, shot a little here and there, then I was very excited when I came across this. The barn was sitting in perfect moon light. The North Star just off to the left (just out of frame). So I set up here and shot for about an hour and a half to capture the star trails. No artificial light was used in this scene, everything was completely lit by a very bright moon. Hopefully I’ll be headed out that way soon for some other ideas I found along the way 🙂

Any hikers out there recognize the white blaze? White blazes are used to mark the Appalachian Trail. This was taken on the AT on an incredible evening on Roan Mountain’s Round Bald

This is the view of Yosemite valley from Glacier Point in Yosemite National Park. Let’s hope the current wildfire in this area is soon contained! This was taken in early June, currently this area is still untouched from the “rimfire” that is threatening Yosemite.

Finding a unique angle on a subject you’ve shot over and over can be challenging sometimes. I found myself out at Walter Hill Dam again last Saturday evening for a senior portraits session. Afterwards, I stuck around to shoot the dam again. I almost immediately noticed this swirl in the water and knew this was going to be something different. I think it turned out pretty nice…

Stars over Grandfather Mountain, North Carolina. The clouds in the sky and the mountains are lit by the nearly full moon. This is about an hour’s worth of rotation. Taken from Grandfather View Overlook on the Blue Ridge Parkway
