When I give presentations about photography, one of my key themes is creating photos that have impact. Photos that make the viewer stop for a second and think about what they are looking at. Sometimes those photos are extremely simple, like this one right here. Last week it was very cold, but the sky was turning a beautiful pink hue as the sunrise approached. This field of cows had a lot of new calves, and so I waited until a mother and her calf separated from the group. They were up on the top of the ridge, which created a perfect silhouette against the pink sky, and this is the result! I hope you like it, and have a great week!

Some sunrises just look different. This particular one was a stunning array of colors that were so saturated that it almost overwhelmed my sensor. The frozen field and grazing cows just added more to the scene, and I really love how it came out. I hope you are all doing well!

I love the cypress trees found throughout the swamps in South Georgia. They are particularly beautiful in late fall when the needles start to change colors and drop into the water. This is a blended exposure that has a higher shutter speed for the main tree so that it would be sharp (there was a little breeze that day) and then a 15 second exposure of the water with the needles floating by. I hope you like it!

Not too long ago we were filming some episodes along Georgia’s hidden coast, and I got a chance to capture this image of the beautiful maritime forest on Blackbeard Island. This island is difficult to access and is completely uninhabited, but it contains stunning beauty throughout its over 20,000 acres. .

I took this image about two years ago, but since it is Christmas Eve I think it is worth a share. I knew the Christmas Star was going to be coming up over this field with three crosses, and so I showed up with plenty of time to craft this image. I photographed the cows at dusk, then waited for the lights to come on and illuminate the crosses. Finally I captured the Christmas Star at a high ISO (allowing for a tiny aperture and therefore the sparkle) while it was still in the frame. I blended all of those images together to this final result, and I do like how it came out. I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and feel free to share this with anyone else who might appreciate the sentiment!

I just got back from filming episodes along the Georgia coast for the past 4 days. We explored many of the more hidden islands, including some that most people have never even heard of. With a lot of help from the Ossabaw Foundation and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, we were taken to some truly stunning locations on these islands where we captured tons of images and some gorgeous video. I really can’t wait for these two episodes to air in the spring, because I think the audience will appreciate just how special the Georgia coast is. Here is an image I took at sunrise on Ossabaw Island. I had already taken several images I liked, but I noticed the sun coming up and so I positioned myself for this old, worn tree to be cradling the sun in its “arms”, so to speak. I love the shape of the tree, and I am happy with how this image came out. Have a great day everyone, and try to stay warm!

Cotton and cows. Two things that are prevalent throughout the southern landscape. So when they came together I had to get some images, and this particular cow was very curious about what I was doing. I was fortunate, because it all came together in that moment and the beautiful light of the setting sun added just a little something extra to the tranquil scene of this cow in the cotton.

The last time I was up in the mountains, the fall

The last time I was up in the mountains, the fall colors were starting to get a little past peak. But this tree was still holding on to autumn, and the brilliant yellow really stood out against the moody, foggy landscape of this early morning. I’m not on IG quite as much anymore, but I am still taking a ton of photos and have a lot of different projects I am working on. I am excited to share that I am one of the featured presenters at the Unique Photo Camera Show up in the NJ/NYC area, and will be presenting there December 9-11. I haven’t been to Manhattan in a LONG time, so I am very much looking forward to getting some images while I am up there, and hopefully the weather cooperates! If you are in the area, feel free to come to my presentation or one of my workshops! The best part is: the entire event is completely free!

A little while ago I did a private workshop down in a Georgia swamp, and it gave me the chance to take some images while I was there. In late fall, the cypress trees change colors and eventually drop their needles, setting the scene for a beautiful and peaceful opportunity for images. Schedules didn’t allow us to get there at peak color, but I embraced the needles that had already fallen in the water, and looked for compositions to highlight certain trees. This image is blended with a 25 second exposure to blur the water of the swamp and then a 1/45 second exposure to freeze the tree and Spanish moss. I hope you like the result, and I hope you have a happy Thanksgiving!

I was very fortunate to capture this beautiful, pastel sunrise over an old homestead up in the North Georgia mountains. The fall colors were really alive and the warm light of the rising sun just washed over the landscape and set it alive. I love to think about the history of this home, what it saw, who lived in it, and the time it has taken for it to be reclaimed by nature. What a wonderfully peaceful scene this was!

Blood Mountain was just exploding with color this past weekend. Some of the brightest yellows I can remember up there, and the fog just added a little extra something!

I have been wanting to get an image of this old barn in the Georgia mountains for a long time, and I finally got one. It has a spooky, ominous, yet beautiful feel to it and so I thought today would be a good day to share it! I purposefully used a long exposure to create lots of movement with the trees and growth in the field; I feel like it added to the mood and made the barn even more pronounced since it is nice and sharp. I hope you all like it, and happy Halloween to everyone!

CALLING ALL MUSICIANS!!! Production of View Finder

CALLING ALL MUSICIANS!!! Production of View Finders Season 2 is underway, and once again I would love to use your music in the tv show. Season 1 was FULL of music from Georgia musicians spanning across all genres, and I want to continue that throughout the second season. If you are interested, please send me an email at viewfindersmusic@gmail.com along with a link for me to hear some of your work! Also, please tag any of your musician friends so that they will see this post! I am looking for ANY type of music, except for metal. Sorry metalheads, but I don’t think it will go to well with PBS 😁

This is one of MANY shots I got last week while @pauldaniel5010 and I were filming an episode of View Finders at Cloudland Canyon. We were treated to some beautiful colors, and the namesake of the canyon did not disappoint one bit. It has been fun to see so many colorful fall images come across my feed over the past few days, and so I wanted to contribute one to fall color smorgasbord! I got several more that I really like and I might share a few, but I will hang on to most of them to include in the show when it premieres next spring. Have a great week everyone!

We have begun filming season 2 and we can’t wait for you all to see it. @pauldaniel5010 and I had a blast with the first episode and there is much, much more to come! #viewfinders #viewfindersontv #georgia #pbs #wandernorthga #rei #cloudlandcanyon #tvshow

We are definitely starting to see some color up in the North Georgia mountains, and I hope it hangs around for a bit considering how dry the conditions have been. I was able to capture this sunrise image up at Black Rock Mountain State Park just a few days ago, and it felt so good up at the top! I think things will really start looking colorful over the next week or so! I don’t post here as much as I used to, but I am still out taking a ton of photos and I am gearing up to start filming season 2 of @viewfinderstv ! Twice as many episodes and some incredibly beautiful places are in store! I am not sure if you saw my story a few days ago, but I am very sad to share that Jason can’t join me for season 2. I do think the show needs two hosts though, and so the very talented @pauldaniel5010 will be joining me and it should be a ton of fun. We are very excited to bring you all some great content from places near and far!

I don’t often get an opportunity to photograph sunflowers, so when they were at full bloom down around the Iron Horse I went to the location several times to get some images. I love the Milky Way one that I posted a few weeks ago, but I also like how this one turned out. It was a gorgeous sunrise that came up and washed warm light all over those flowers. Definitely a memorable morning and perfect time to capture this iconic metal sculpture that sits in the middle of a field in the Georgia Piedmont..

The Georgia Piedmont is full of rolling hills and beautiful trees. When they are sitting alone in a field it always catches my eye, but if there is fog and some beautiful light then it is time to get out my camera. I capture this one a few months ago and love the sky and simplicity of the tree. If you have been wanting to improve your photography, get your questions answered, and learn some tips/tricks I have picked up over the years when it comes to editing, then there are still 2 spots left for one of my workshops I am offering here in the Athens area. If you want to learn more about it, just go to my website (link in bio) to see the specifics and grab one of the remaining spots!
