A couple weeks ago while the weather was still cold and warm at the same time I shot these photos. I had been watching the well and barn occasionally on the way to a friends house. I had planned to shoot them sometime and when I woke up one morning and it was this foggy, I thought today is the day. All in all they turned out really good. You don't get this kind of fog very often. Hope you enjoy!!
Well, I had a pretty good day at the 19th Annual Paulding Fine Arts Competition. Above are my 3 entries. Top "No Trespassing" won third place in Photography, middle " Water Abstract " won first place Photography, and the bottom " Quarter Wins " won Best of Show. I was very proud of my images, they are all new and never printed before. I really hope you enjoy them as much as our judges did. We had a great turnout with categories, Oil & Acrylic, Watercolor & Tempura, Dimensional & Mixed Media, Drawing and Photography. Thanks for checking my blog.
Such a simple shot, something I have seen all my life, but never stopped to photograph. This cane grows around almost every creek in the state. The bud is about to open for spring, contrasting with the deep purple of the cane itself. It was just one of those things that caught my eye. Enjoy!!
The survivor was shot on Paulding Forest WMA at Bluffy Creek. This little plant has survived many winters and floods as you can see. These grasses live all along the creek bank and endure high water, winter and always come back every spring. Nothing especially pretty about them, but the lone green in a sea of brown and gray. Hope you enjoy!!
Another quick image from Bluffy Creek on Paulding forest WMA. One of my favorite places close to home. Hope you get a chance to visit someday. Gotta run, I have prints due to hang at Mable House-Barnes Amphitheater today. Hope you enjoy!!
Good Monday morning, hope everyone had a great weekend. I got to photograph two days this weekend and have some great stuff to post in the future. This photo was made about a week ago on a wildflower trip, sadly no flowers to shoot. This is a raccoon track at Bluffy creek, lots of theirs and deer everywhere. I have been here for about three years and I still love this area. It is on Hulseytown Road in Paulding county in Dallas, GA. Try to visit if you get a chance. Hope you enjoy!!
I have been photographing here for three years. This is the first landscape I have been happy with. I did an HDR early morning and it finally looks pretty good. It only takes about 15 minutes to get here from home, so it is very convenient. It is in Paulding Forest WMA. It is always nice to be close to home. Hope you enjoy!!
What a moonset. This was last week before a shoot I did on Paulding Forest. We were on our way and being a little early decided to look for a place to shoot the setting full moon. After driving around for about 15 minutes we spotted this field. Turned out pretty good for just killing time. Hope you enjoy!!
This reminds me when you could fill up for about $8.00, wouldn't that be nice. I have photographed this old store numerous times and I'm still not happy with the images. Still all in all they are OK.
Early morning at a farm in Taylorsville, GA. I actually shot this to paint a watercolor from, but it was so pretty I decided to go aheasd and post on the blog. I had shot this before from another angle last year, but wasn't happy with it. This shot is much better. Hope you enjoy!!
Just a shot I did last week while driving around Taylorsville, GA. Had a great time, but I forgot my tripod so had to shoot handheld all morning. I actually had to wait a while to shoot because of it. Learned a valuable lesson, pay attention when you pack. Hope you enjoy!!
Just another old homeplace I found out and about. Always on the lookout for anything and everything. This home was on the way to the Summerville Junkyard, I stopped on the way back. What a cool place, the red chair from yesterday was also from here. The top image is an HDR shot with a tripod, the bed was just a straight tripod shot. Hope you enjoy!!
" Red " was taken during a ride throught north Aragon, GA. Just an old home I ran up on while riding the backroads. I just loved the colors on this porch and of course I shot a lot inside. Will post those tomorrow. Hope you enjoy!!
Just plain fun, this dog found something interesting in this pile of cans. His friend happened to be on the outside looking in, with no way to reach the cans. Just thought this was a cool shot. One of many dogs found at Summerville Junkyard. Hope you enjoy!!
My daughter and Jesse. A quick shoot in the Dallas Theater a couple weeks back. We were just playing around with off camera speedlight and having fun. Hope you enjoy!!
Self portraits are always fun. This one was shot at an old house in Aragon, GA. Just having fun with myself. I think all photographers like to find creative ways to shoot themselves and I am no exception. Hope you enjoy!!
This was just too much fun. I will try to refrain for a day or two. Still, I hope you enjoy!!
Not a lot to say about these images, but beautiful! It is really amazing the beauty found in everyday things. I really enjoyed this shoot and will go back soon. Hope you enjoyed them!!
Junk, what a strange word. Most peoplr think of something ugly and rusted, I think of something rusted and beautiful. This is one of the really fun things to do in photography, just run around a junkyard photographing junk cars. Some very cool and unique textures and colors can be found throughout. Never hesitate when given the chance to roam around in a junkyard or when you find old cars anywhere. The possibilities are endless and this is one time harsh midday light is OK. Hope you enjoy!!
