Live oaks dripping with spanish moss hang over azalea flowers in full bloom at Magnolia Plantation and Gardens in Charleston SC. One of my favorite places in the Spring season, Magnolia Plantation is a stunning sight that is rich with vibrant color during the azalea bloom. Click the image to view it large!

Folly Beach Pier at Sunrise - Charleston South Carolina Seascape
Early morning golden light on the Folly Beach Pier just after sunrise in Folly Beach, SC. I had a wonderful time leading my workshop group in Charleston last week, and was lucky enough to snag this shot of some great morning light on the pier under dramatic skies while I was down there. It's always a good thing to get out and breathe the fresh sea air with your feet in the surf, and I'm always thankful for the time spent with our good friends Mark and Carol VanDyke as well as Keith and Tiffany Briley.
Sometimes it's the little things I appreciate the most in an image. Those small details in a dynamic and rapidly changing scene that make one frame stand out from another. What caught my eye in this exposure was how the lines and curves in the water patterns were mirrored in the sky, it's those little details that you can't plan for that I find most rewarding. Hope you enjoy the view!
Single exposure, Nikon D810 and 17-35mm f/2.8

The Road Home - Edisto Island South Carolina Dirt Road Landscape Charleston SC
Morning light under the canopy of live oak trees along Botany Bay Road on Edisto Island, SC. The ACE Basin in South Carolina is one of the largest undeveloped estuaries along the Atlantic Coast of the United States, and the natural beauty of the dense live oak forest dripping in spanish moss in this region is an outdoor photographer's paradise. I've spent the last couple days transferring some older archives to new backup drives and this frame from Botany Bay from a few years ago caught my eye so I figured I'd develop it and upload it. Hope you enjoy this view of the beautiful SC lowcountry y'all!

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!

Roots and Wings - Charleston SC Angel Oak Tree South Carolina Landscape
The ancient Angel Oak Tree on John's Island near Charleston, South Carolina. I shot this image while leading my recent Spring in Charleston landscape photography workshop. One of the oldest things in North America either living or man made, some estimates have this amazing live oak tree dated as old as 1500 years.
