This is at the overlook proper with a north view looking into Kentucky just ahead. Canon eos-r, 24-105L

My wife and I set out to Big South Fork National Recreation area for some fall colors, shoot some arches or some overlooks at sunset. We took some detours and never made it, ending up near Picket State Park on the adjoing forest land. Stumbled across a sign for an overlook, went out and spent...

I have begun documenting some of my photo outings. As any nature/landscape photog knows, sometimes you come away with the goods and sometimes not. It is all dependent on mother nature. Back in the late fall of 2023, I was hoping to catch some late fall colors and good light as the skies...

Been awhile since I have been here. Still out shooting film and digital. Wanted to share a hike I did to capture Virgin Falls in the Spring of 2022. Beautiful area on the Cumberland Plateau and this was a recent trail addition connecting from Lost Creek. Just a gopro 10 with max lens mod and...

From last evening at a spot I have been visiting my entire life. Canon eos r, 17-40L

Playing around last weekend with a older camera picked up at an estate sale, sony nex f3 w/ kit lens. Though long in the tooth, it still takes good images. Here is one near the house on the outskirts of town.

From my previous post, here are a few images facing away from the sun. This was along the Appalachian Trail at Cross Mtn (around 34-3500" elevation) in TN just before you get into VA. This was from last weekend, Friday evening to be exact. During this short trip, I had planned to do some more...

Just got back from a partial week spent in Shady Valley, TN. Not a whole lot of photography done but I did get one day up at Cross Mountain where the Appalachian Trail passes through. Caught some great pastels as the sun set and as I was hiking out, I turned around for this view. I thought...

Continuing with Big Bend National Park. These were from my 2nd to last trip to the park, 2 sunsets, same view point. Sunsets are always gorgeous in the desert. Being able to provide water in the fore/mid ground and mtns in the background just add to it along with excellent light in the sky...

Now for several images of Santa Elena Canyon in BBNP. This canyon is carved by the Rio Grande with sheer cliffs rising well over 1000' on each side. You can walk back in there maybe 1/8th of a mile or so. It is quite impressive in person and you can almost touch Mexico. This first 2 is a...

There is a rock feature in Big Bend NP named the Taj Mahal. Use your imagination and you can see it. My understanding is that this feature has partially collapsed in recent years so I am glad to have spent some time at it back in 2015. Here are a few images of it as I continue to share my...

To continue my journey with BBNP, I will post images that span different trips and different mediums (film and digital) of a feature known as Mule Ears. As a history side note, when the border was much more fluid than today, the military used to fly planes in the area (think bi-planes, early...

Even just a little rain or snow is all it takes for the desert to come alive. This posting is from my 3rd trip to Big Bend National Park. We were way out on the dirt roads enjoying the scenery and natural beauty all around us. Though lighting is during the day and not the ideal golden hours...

Skipping ahead to my 3rd visit to BBNP along with my wife. On this day, we hiked into Dog Canyon What an interesting little canyon! The wind became so strong as it funnelled through here that you could literally lean back and have the wind hold you up. Processed these at the time as B&W and...

Here are 2 images captured within close proximity of each other just a few moments apart. It shows just how much the lighting can change out in the desert. I am staying with some of my oldest images of the park and will progress through subsequent trips. Note: this is how I processed the...

This is a pano from the first trip for my wife (my 2nd) to Big Bend National Park. Surprisingly, the high desert gets a bit of snow. In fact, we were snowed out from staying in BBNP one year as our reservations were the Chisos Mtn Lodge and the road was closed due to snow. However, it is not...

So Jim Fox has inadvertently :) prompted me to share images of Big Bend National Park here. I have an extensive catalogue of images that showcase the beauty and diversity of images. I will try to stay consistent and share an image a day or ever couple days here. Big Bend is a special place...

My very first trip of a subsequent 5 more brought me to Big Bend National Park at the height of summer in 2012. To say it was hot is an understatement. However, I felt like I had the entire park to myself! There were maybe a dozen visitors there in total. To say it was the off season is to...

From back in the early summer of 2014, I was up in the dunes at Great Sand Dunes NP trying to capture light and shadows. I turned around to see this. Captured on a 5dmkii and a 24-135 (tamron I believe) zoom lens. Conversion in LR.

Visited a local spot that I haven't visited in a number of years. Came with fresh eyes for some fresh compositions along with old standbys. Here is a "fresh" composition of the falls. Captured on Kentmere 400, Nikon n90s back, nikkor 20/2.8ai, processed in d76 1:1, scanned with a pakon f135+...
