I saw a great shot of a Covered bridge in square format which felt very constrained and wanted to go shoot it in 5×12. So I picked a cloudy day and head out for another Sunday Morning Adventure. I get lost on the way there and of course it is in the middle of nowhere […]

On one of my Sunday Morning Adventures I ventured down a dirt road near Helen GA to follow the Chattahoochee River. I found a spot to park near a trail that led down to the river and a rock outcrop. While I was setting up my camera a local resident decided he needed to bathe […]

As part of my road trip with my son we stopped at a Washington Oaks Gardens in Palm Coast Florida on our way to Epcot. It was here I discovered the backing glass on my 4×5 was broken but the ground glass was still intact. I only had time for a couple of shots and […]

After being Covid-19 quarantined for about 6 weeks I had finally had enough of home projects and sitting around bored.  I convinced my wife that we should go on a Sunday Morning Adventure and take a short hike to some waterfalls a friend had told me about.  The drive there was a short 40 minutes, […]

Initially I Iiked the cold tones of the original print, but I was doing some toning and thought why not try it with this one. It has strong blacks that I wanted to preserve as dark tones so my experiment was to determine if Selenium + Thiourea would give me the desired effect. After a […]

Not only rivers and waterfalls capture my attention, but stumps and fallen trees seem to be a recurring theme.  On one of my Sunday Morning Adventures to Amicalola I took the opposite path from Edge of the World to check on a fishing spot after a heavy rain. I noticed this huge stump was beached […]

Today’s Sunday Morning Adventure took me to up to Mount Airy, Georgia (not where they filmed Andy Griffith’s Mayberry) to NancyTown Creek Falls. I left the house around 6:00 AM and stopped for gas and coffee. Then headed north on mostly 4 lane highways to get to Mount Airy. The sky was striped with orange […]

I returned a second time to high shoals falls area to shoot with fellow NGLFP member Bryan G. The hike was about the same but not as hot as the first time I visited. We both shot for about 3 hours before the sun became too bright to work any longer.  Here are the images […]
