April’s New Spot – Hurricane Creek Recreation Area
I’ve got some catching up to do on this series!
April’s new spot for me was Hurricane Creek Recreation Area on Percy Priest Lake. There are many of these little “recreation” areas all around Percy Priest Lake. In January, I showed you Pooles Knob and now it’s Hurricane Creek. Pooles Knob is good for sunrises, Hurricane Creek is good for sunsets.
I visited several times in April, each time to capture the sunset.
The first shot is from a cloudless evening.
The next time I visited, I got better skies so I had to head back to that lone tree on the shore:
Other shots from the trips include:
This particular evening I was shooting with photographer and friend Chriss. It was his idea to light the tree, you can see his version on flickr.
This is a long exposure that was inspired by my aunt, MariAnne MacGregor, who is a photographer in the D.C. area. She was in the process of a completing a project on long exposures and they are amazing. Check those out and her new work on her facebook page.
We found these rocks like this
