The Farm with Billy Orr and Jeremy White
Next on the checklist is ding one of these at night, or doing one from the top of a mountain peak, or doing one from the top of a mountain at night!
Jeremy was defending himself from the vicious wild peacocks that roam his farm with this long stick.
Teresa came to participate in some photographic debauchery.
Emma and Jeremy waiting for Billy to set up his lighting equipment. Billy’s photo can be seen here.

Mt Tripyramid / Mt Washington
There’s nothing like fresh mountain water!

Soapstone Mountain Fire Tower
It had rained for about three days before this and the clouds were still a little crazy so I thought why not go to my favorite local mountain view and see if I could catch the sunset. That turned out to be an excellent idea! There were two thunderstorms in the distance. The large one in the center was headed our way and every thirty seconds or so we would see a bolt of lightening.
Fall seemed to come so quickly this year.
Marcy Dam (Adirondack State Park, NY)
This is my first panoramic HDR. More to come.
It was taken at the end of an excellent weekend trip up Mt. Marcy (which is not visible in this image). The mountain with the rock faces is Mt. Colden.
After cooking a meal and taking a power nap on top of Colden, we arrived at our campsite in a very nice area. Our tent was a short walk from a dam on the end of a lake with a beautiful view.
I was standing behind the dam in water taking pictures and Tank was sitting on the dam. Tank jumped up, pointed behind me, and yelled “A muskrat!”. I assumed it was a squirrel or something.
The next day we summited Mt. Marcy, took some pictures from the top and started heading down when Tank grabs my arm, points down the trail, and says “Muskrats! There’s two of them right there!”. To which I replied
“Those are bear cubs, and there’s three of them!”.
They scurried back into the woods and we proceeded with our hike. We spent the following 1/2 hour or so having a very loud conversation in an attempt to not spook mama bear if she were nearby.
Candler Oak
This really needs to be viewed large to be appreciated!
Located east of Forsyth park in Savannah, GA this tree is estimated to be over 280 years old. It’s trunk is over 16 feet in circumference! This is my latest attempt at an HDR panoramic. I’m really happy with it because it actually looks like I imagined it would. So I’m making progress in developing my process for this type of shot.
The Oaks Oak Tree
This is one of many massive oak trees at “The Oaks” apartments in Savannah, GA. Long exposure HDR shot at night with the moon in the background.
