Signing off for now

I've been neglecting this blog more and more lately. As a result, for now, I am transitioning to just posting new images on my FLICKR page. That's actually been the trend for a while now, though I always intended to get the images up here as well. Going forward, when I have time for photography, I plan to just post over there. Thank you for the comments over the past few years.

More from Duke Gardens





I went back to Duke Gardens today for another hour of photography. I think these were probably the best shots of the day.

Lotus at Duke Gardens







I celebrated the successful completion of my board examinations today by heading over to Duke Gardens for about an hour of photography. Shooting this lotus was a treat. Larger versions are available on my FLICKR site.

Great Smoky Mountain National Park



View from an overlook in Great Smoky Mountain National Park in western North Carolina. This picture was taken a few miles below Klingman's Dome. We had just enough time to drive in and out of the park, so photography took a low priority.

Mountain stream along NC 276




A mountain stream along scenic NC Highway 276, not far from Brevard.

The image is best viewed on my FLICKR page, where you can see a larger version.

As a final note, I'm realizing that my color balance looks very different on Steph's laptop versus my own. I hope that the images are appearing as intended when others view this site, but I can't be sure.

Triple Falls



Though probably not one of the best subjects for photography, Triple Falls (half of which is shown here) is certainly one of the two or three most impressive waterfalls in North Carolina. It's tough to settle on an exposure that works for both the powerful fall itself as well as the spill way in the foreground. The solution is probably a technique called high dynamic range processing, but that's not yet part of my repertoire.

Orchid, alternative view



Another view of our orchid.
