Transcendence - Tennessee Appalachian Mountains Sunset Scenic Landscape Photography
Sunset along the Appalachian Trail in the Roan Mountain Highlands near the border of Tennessee and North Carolina. Leading photography workshops for the spring flowers in the Southern Appalachian mountains this year inevitably took me to Jane Bald for a few evenings and I couldn't resist grabbing a quick handheld shot of this great light when it happened. Hope you enjoy the view! :)
Single exposure with a Nikon D800 w/ 17-35mm f/2.8

The Anodyne Sea - Folly Beach SC Seascape Charleston South Carolina Coastal Photography
A striking sunrise shining through passing storms on Folly Beach South Carolina near Charleston, SC. I shot this image while leading my 2015 "Spring in Charleston" photography workshop this year. It was a somewhat difficult week as far as conditions go, but the scene we were treated to on this particular morning was pretty spectacular with the rising sun punching through the storms that were moving through the area. It reminds me that even through the passing storms in our lives, there is incredible beauty to be enjoyed in this world. Hope you enjoy it!

Summer Rain - Asheville NC Blue Ridge Parkway Spring Flowers
An awesome summer evening from the Blue Ridge Parkway in the mountains of Western North Carolina, with passing summer rain storms bringing new life to the spring rhododendron flowers in the ancient Appalachian Mountains. I had an amazing sense of peace and well-being while shooting this incredible scene, a feeling that all was right in the world. The smell of the passing rain storms, the dappled light skipping across the mountain ridges, the fresh spring flowers at the peak of their bloom, and the warm rays of sunlight punching through the rain under the dark storm clouds creating the interesting area of hazy light in the back. It isn't often I get to enjoy a scene as rich with great elements as this one was, and it was an evening I'll surely remember for many years to come. Hope you enjoy the view!

Autumn Waterfall Dry Falls - Highlands NC Waterfalls
We absolutely love Highlands NC for all the great sights, roads, food, people and more! Dry Falls is one of the reasons we are so fond of Highlands and it is easy to see why. This is an epic waterfall in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina, and during the fall foliage it is really something special to see. Hope you enjoy the view! ;-)
