Woke up very early yesterday morning. Thought I'd run down to Pickthorne Lake to see what dawn had to offer. It started out pretty poorly and I almost headed back to get some coffee or even go back to bed. Glad I stayed around. The show got pretty intense for a bit..... As the morning...

Shortly after acquiring my new camera, 5D Mark IV, last fall, I took it down to Main Street in North Little Rock for some low light tests of its DR. These are all at least an hour before dawn, so all the illumination was from the street and ornamentation lights. I was very pleased with the...

A little dawn color over young flooded rice field. Arkansas prairie near the farming community of DesArc. Had to get up and on the road pretty early to make it in time for this display. I've always loved the levied contours in the rice fields.

08-30-15 Late summer, with Fall color just starting to show in the cypress trees.

From the air. A client took me up in his little Piper Cub last summer and I caught some interesting perspectives on the terraced levies and growing rice. I love the look of the snaking levies both from the air and from the roadside (stand by for some of those :-) ). From the air they take on a...

Well, actually foggy pre-dawns, but that doesn't quite rhyme!! :rolleyes: A few takes around Little Rock and North Little Rock, in foggy conditions, in very early morning hours over the years. First three are of Little Rock from the North Little Side of the Arkansas River. The last is looking up...

Little Rock's train station. It was a couple hours after sundown, with a low cloud cover. For a couple years now I've been trying to branch out, city/street scenes among my targets. It was fairly windy, as the flag attests, and with the mercury vapor lights being prominent, I thought b&w was...

While shooting the low, rising mist at the cypress swamp one morning, a few years back, a gaggle of Canadian Geese landed and swam around a while. I was fortunate that I was already set up with the long lens looking down this avenue in the trees so I was ready to go! My shooting partner was in...

On one of very few trips lately up into the Arkansas Ozarks, I found this section of Haw Creek, being down in a valley, shrouded in fog. And I love foggy conditions! Two views, looking upstream, showing more of the foggy effects, and beside the little cascade with a nice tree framing the view...

Another scene from the cypress swamp on that foggy winter's morning. Giving you a choice of color or b&w. Just curious. :)

From March '10. I had recently seen some shots with this technique and on a whim, I panned the camera vertically during the exposure. It was my last shot of the day and I only made one attempt. It came out a little abstract-y for my norm, but it grew on me and has become one of my favorites from...

at dawn.

on a foggy winter's morning. Near Little Rock, AR.
