Location: Great Smoky Mountain National Park, USA Date/Time Captured: 04/05/2016 @ 07:41 This location in Cades Cove is a very popular one with photographers...especially in spring when the little dogwood hiding under the big oak is in bloom. The blooming dogwood, some fencing, a gravel road, and some early morning light made for an intriguing capture. The one element of this scene that could have made this better yet would have been some low lying fog. But Mother Nature did me kind this am even without the fog.
Location: Outer Banks, NC, USA Date/Time Captured: 04/04/2016 @ 07:02 I took to repeated hummed the same verse of "Here Comes the Sun" as the sun popped over the horizon after shooting the stars for the last couple hours of the night. It was good to have it appear and bathe the scene in it's warm glow and cast those l-o-n-g shadows across the beach.
Location: Outer Banks, NC, USA Date/Time Captured: 04/03/3026 @ 04:49 Had to get up e-a-r-l-y on this morning to make the roughly hour drive down to Friso Pier for some astro and Milky Way shooting. It was just late enough for this one that the Milky Way had disappeared, but as it was just the beginning of blue hour, there were still some stars present, the moon was setting just over the pier's shed, and the very earliest colors of sunrise had appeared.
