The leaves up in N. Georgia aren’t at peak yet,

The leaves up in N. Georgia aren’t at peak yet, but they are getting close. I am thinking in 1-2 weeks they will be at full color depending on elevation. There have been record crowds up in the mountains this month, and it is expected to only get crazier over the next few weeks. The manager of Anna Ruby Falls said there were over 4,000 people there last weekend with a one-hour wait to get in, and it will likely be 5,000-6,000 these coming weekends.

If you want an opportunity to enjoy and photograph this iconic location with just a handful of other photographers, there are still some spots left in our upcoming workshops. Enjoy hours of uninterrupted photography here as well as roped off access to Brasstown Bald (along with driving to the top!). You will not only learn a lot, you will have freedom to move around and take photos wherever you want without tons of people in your way. Click the link in my bio for all of the info you need as well as registration. I hope you can join us!

I would never have gotten this photo if it wasn’t for an invaluable app that I have been using on my iPhone. Click the link in my bio to watch this week’s video and learn more about why I use it so much. 👍🏻

Fall is starting to make its presence felt all over the southeast, including the lower elevations. I will be up in the mountains a lot over the coming weeks, and my goal this year is to capture a lot of non-traditional images. It was a foggy day on this trail near my home and I loved all of the little mushrooms popping up out of the ground. The kind of lead your eye to the foggy woods in the distance, and the scene was really peaceful. Swipe over if you want to see a lot more detail in the mushrooms.

I have a lot of fall foliage photos on the way, but first let me share this image I grabbed two weeks ago of a stunning sunrise. I’ve had my eye on this tree for some time, and on this morning the fog was hanging just along the ridges of the rolling hills, creating depth as well as a little bit of mystery. I stood at the edge of the field and watched as the sky slowly lit up with shades of pink and orange, and the sleeping cows slowly rose and started to graze. It was a spectacular way to begin the day, and I hope you enjoy this image!

I’ve been on a waterfall kick lately and right now I am up in South Carolina going absolutely crazy with all of the gorgeous waterfalls. A few weeks back, I visited a really spectacular one in Georgia not far from Suches. @jmcartisticphotography and I each did separate episodes on the location, and mine is now up and playing over on YouTube. You can watch it by clicking the link in my bio, and I hope you enjoy a few of the photos I grabbed that day!

It’s no secret that I like trees, but this one is a little different than my usual ones. Smaller, scraggly, leaning over to the side. It sits in a field with a perfect set of tracks leading up to it, and as soon as I saw it I knew how great it could be in the fog. And oh how that fog didn’t disappoint, as it created separation between this tree and the larger ones far beyond it. I can’t take credit for finding this spot though, I have to thank my friend @mrlawing for giving me the tip. I hope you like it!

I really love old churches. They each have a story

I really love old churches. They each have a story to tell, and this one was established in 1820 so I am sure it has a lot of stories. Landscape photography requires persistence, and this series of photos is a testament to that. It took me a lot of visits to finally get the sunset shot, which was the one I was after. But along the way I got a few more, and I think I actually like the long exposure of the storms the most. If you want to see all of the behind-the-scenes to these photos, as well as how many visits it took for me to get the shot I was after, then click the link in my bio for this week’s episode.

I love fall, it provides a sensory experience of the very best kind. The air is cool and crisp, and each individual leaf contributes to a range of senses. The colors are bright and warm and pleasing to the eye. There is a distinct sound that is made when it falls and hits the ground. The feeling of fresh leaves crunching under your feet after each step. And there is a soft fragrance that fills the forest as the leaves sit and decompose. I hope to take a lot of photos over the next four weeks, because it truly is one of the best times of the year to be a photographer. Have a great weekend everyone, and enjoy the fall!

There are already some hints of fall in the mountains, and each passing day will be a little more colorful. If you want to have a highly memorable photography experience, there are still some spots open in the three different fall foliage workshops that I am offering with @jmcartisticphotography. Beautiful woodlands, gorgeous waterfalls, and vivid mountain scenery will give you an opportunity to take amazing photos, and every workshop will include instruction on composing your shots as well as editing them afterwards, allowing you to take beautiful photos that you can print and hang on your wall at home. Click the link in my bio for more information about the dates and locations, as well as to sign up!

Helton Creek Falls is a really popular location in North Georgia, and for good reason. I have photographed it many times over the years, and each time I return I try to do something different. Click the link in my bio to watch my latest YouTube episode that features some cinematic drone footage of the North Georgia mountains as well as my attempts to take a variety of compositions of this waterfall. I hope you enjoy it!

I photographed this location in the fog about a month ago, but I also wanted to grab it with a colorful sunrise. I thought that some pink skies would complement those yellow wildflowers quite nicely, and after several attempts I finally got a photograph that I like. Yes the clouds actually looked like this, I didn’t add the color. Have a great Thursday everyone!

Earlier this summer I spent some time over in South Carolina, exploring the hiking and waterfalls of the area. This spot was near our campsite and I photographed it many different times during our stay, but one night it was particularly moody and I was also able to get a little swirl with the bubbles. If you want to learn a little more about editing the sky in your photos, you can check out my latest YouTube episode through the link in my bio. Have a great week everyone!

I’ve been to this spot five times over the past

I’ve been to this spot five times over the past month, trying to capture a really pretty sunrise behind these three shapely trees. When they cut the field and the hay bales appeared, I started coming more frequently because they added a little something extra to the composition. I finally got a good sunrise and will post it in the coming weeks, but one of the mornings I was there the full moon was setting. The catch is, it was setting just to the right of the trees, completely out of frame. Yes, there was no way for me to compose these this photo and keep the spacing intact while still getting the moon, so I photographed the moon and then composited it into place over the trees. I hope you all enjoy it!

Here are two certainties that I will share with yo

Here are two certainties that I will share with you this morning - 1) sunrises on Brasstown Bald are awesome and 2) driving to the top of Brasstown Bald is easier than walking…especially in the dark with your gear. It just so happens that @jmcartisticphotography and I will be up on Brasstown Bald this coming Sunday morning for a sunrise workshop, which includes breakfast and post-processing instruction. There are still some spots available, so come join us and experience some beautiful fall weather (just check the forecast!!) while taking some photos, and you can even drive your car all the way up to the tower!
.
.
Workshop details and registration are available through the link in my bio. Oh, and I took this photo of Brasstown Bald a few years ago of the rising sun over fog-filled valleys. It was incredible.

Water is immensely powerful, and that power is on full display at Bull Sluice. Paddlers come from around the world to enjoy the Wild and Scenic Chattooga River, and you can see them test their skills at this famous class V rapid. My latest episode is up on YouTube and if you click the link in my bio, you can see some beautiful drone footage of this location along with how I captured this photo.

Mountains, fog, color, and a bit of glow from the rising sun are always going to be welcome ingredients for a photograph. I woke up early one morning and saw a touch of color hitting the clouds, so I hurried down to one of my favorite spots and got set up just in time to capture a pano of the sunrise. I hope you all enjoy it!

Photography takes you to beautiful places, and sometimes things all come together to create a magical moment. That is what I was able to capture here, and it is one of my favorites from 2020. If you want to see how all of this came together, along with @jmcartisticphotography ‘s horse whispering skills 😂, go click the link in my bio to watch how I captured this photo.

There is something really therapeutic about the sound of a waterfall. No two are the same, and depending on recent rains they can be thunderous or a bit more delicate. I captured this one almost a month ago and while the flow was on the low side, but it was still incredibly beautiful.

@jmcartisticphotography and I are actually going to teach a workshop at this location later this fall, when the leaves are peaking and the cascading water is complemented by the gorgeous fall color. More information can be found through the link in my bio, along with a YouTube episode that I filmed here.

You all know I love trees, and so I am always on the hunt for a new one to photograph. When I spotted this one earlier in the summer, I knew it could really be a good sunset location.
