Picture of the Week
A picture a week from around town, or around the world!
A Seat in the Snow
Like the image from the very first of this series, this week's image was taken in my own yard. We were blessed here in East Tennessee to have a couple of pretty little snows this past winter, and this snowy scene struck me as I was walking around looking for photos. ...
Foggy Morning at Benton Falls
What a day this was! Several weeks back, Holly and I decided to go for a short drive down to Benton to see Benton falls, and MAN was it foggy! I hadn't been in foggy conditions like that in some time - scary to drive in, but really neat to explore the falls. Holly...
Progression of Light in the Smokies
Well Happy Easter everyone! I hope you've all had a nice weekend and got to spend at least a little bit of time with your friends and family this weekend. Whatever the number, it was surely better than last year when we were all locked down and no one was doing...
Hey! Get outta my shot!
Ah, just flip it to black and white. If I'm honest, this is usually my approach to black and white photography. If I take a picture in color, and it doesn't work for some reason, I'd always try flipping it to black and white to see how it looked. In retrospect, this...
Late Fall Mood in the Yard
Hey friends! If you happened to catch my Five Favorite Pictures from 2020 post (and if you missed it, take a second and go have a look!) you've seen this picture before, but this week I'm going to take a minute to talk about the image itself, and what's coming in the...
Hanging Out with the Milky Way
Sometimes you make something, because you think it'll be entertaining... and then you end up loving it. Mid-way through the year last year I got invited to join the Tristar Adventures ambassador program, which has opened up some opportunities to meet and collaborate...
The Dark Horse Rising
Let's learn something together! I mentioned in last week's post that I have been experimenting with shooting the Milky Way at tighter and tighter focal lengths. I used to think that 24mm was as tight as you could get and still practically have a foreground, but then...
My Place in the Galaxy
Kind of makes you feel small, right? As we make our way back into the Milky Way core season, I wanted to share a few images I've managed to capture already, plus this one, which I've actually been working on since last fall. This time of year the Milky Way is low on...
Tybee Island Sunrise
I was a little conflicted as to which image I should use to wrap up my series on Tybee Island. I had originally planned to use an image of a pair of fishing boats, but then I got to thinking... it'd be a little tragic to do a series from the beach and not actually...
The Tybee Island Lighthouse at Dawn
Happy Valentine's day everyone! This post admittedly has nothing to do with Valentine's day though... or does it? 🙂 When my wife and I went to Tybee Island late last summer, we were blessed with nice weather. As a photographer, I'm always conflicted by this because...
