Catawba Creek

Catawba Creek

I went hiking in Catawba Valley in Virginia when the colors were changing. This creek bank had an interesting rock formation running alongside it. The day was perfect for hiking. I shot this with a Canon 60D with a EF-S 17-55mm with an ND filter for a long exposure.

Smoky Creek

 

IMG_1743

I was riding along the road through the Smoky Mountain National Park when I saw a slight pull off next to this wonderful creek. The day was overcast again but that happens a lot in the park. The new is from the interesting climate and weather patterns that are there. I parked and set my tripod up in the creek and set a long exposure. Shot with my Canon 60D on my EF-S 17-55mm at focal length 18mm, f18.

 

Blurry Rhododendron on the Creek

Blurry Rhododendron

Walking along Wilson Creek in Grayson Highland State Park. It is a magical trail that follows these slightly falling creek lined with moss, rocks and these Rhododendron that hang out over the water. It was humid and the steadiness sound of falling water was the backdrop. There were probably at least 20 different types of moss I saw that lined the trail. I snapped this picture with my Fujica AX-3 with a 50mm DM 1.6 lens shot on Fujicolor 200. Shot at f1.6

The Brick and Cades Cove

I wanted to add this because I wasn’t sure if this camera could take any pictures. It is an Argus, but most photographers know it is “The Brick”. I took it on my trip to the Smoky Mountains to see if I could develop film that would come out. This was by far the best of the roll and was really underestimating the camera. It is a fun little thing to shoot but I did make the mistake on one of the frames to do a double exposure which I was warned might happen. I can’t wait to try it out again.
