I was out riding around on NC back roads near Jordan Lake when I came across this beautiful little church as the sun was setting. Martha’s Chapel – near Apex, NC

Thanks for making this year an amazing year for Malcolm MacGregor Photography! I can’t wait to see what 2014 brings!
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 🙂

If you look closely at nearly the center of the photo, there is an opening in the trees. That’s the Blue Ridge Parkway and the entrance to the parking area for the hike up to Humpback Rock. It’s quite a hike, 2 miles uphill the entire way. But they view at the top is worth every step. Both sunset and sunrise can be seen from the rocks.
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 🙂

My wife and I recently hiked to Machine Falls. It’s a beautiful hike and the falls are truly amazing. The photos don’t really do the size and scope of this waterfall justice. But, I did what I can 🙂 Hope you enjoy…
Found this guy along the trail 🙂
These photos are pretty fun to attempt. You’re never really sure how they will turn out and occasionally you end up with a beautiful piece of art. See the bottom of this post for more info on the technique used.
Here are a couple of my most recent attempts:
Here are a couple of older favorites as well:
The technique used to create these is pretty simple. Set the shutter to a fairly slow speed (0″3, 0″6, 1/6, 1/8 etc) and pan the camera when shooting. Practice with different shutter speeds, different panning speeds, panning directions, and of course different subjects until you get something you like.
Thanks for stopping by!
