Autumn Fog outside Durham
Tree poking up through early morning fog outside Durham, NC. My Canon 5D Mark II finally bit the dust, so this is one of the first photographs I took with my new camera. Excited to get out there and use it more!

Fall Leaves in B&W and Color (2020, Part 1)
Found a few leaves in the woods that are starting to change color and rot. Scanned on my Epson film/flatbed scanner, which enables me to get a ridiculously high-resolution image that can really bring out the texture in the leaves (each of the images below is ~20″x~30″). Looking forward to more autumn leaves in the coming weeks!

Sunset and Clouds from Mt Mitchell
Light from the setting sun shines below the clouds over the Blue Ridge Mountains, shot from the summit of Mt Mitchell, NC. Similar to last week’s post, but I wanted to zoom in on the clouds and mountains and crop out the tree tops in the foreground.

Blue Ridge Parkway Overlook
Since moving to North Carolina, I’ve had the pleasure of visiting the Blue Ridge Parkway and Mt Mitchell a few times. Every time I drive by this overlook, I think about photographing the dead tree hanging over the steep hillside just off the road. I’m still trying to get the composition right- this is getting close, but not quite there. Rain clouds were moving in when I set up to shoot this panorama, which provided a nice backdrop for the trees.

Roaring Fork Creek Falls, NC
Roaring Fork Creek Falls near the base of Mt Mitchell, just off the Blue Ridge Parkway, Pisgah National Forest. I liked the zig-zag path the water takes down the rocks.

Streaming Clouds over Mt Mitchell after Sunset
Clouds streaming over Mt Mitchell as the sun’s light fades from the Blue Ridge Mountains. Exposure time was ~5 minutes to allow blurring of the moving clouds.
