A buddy of mine took this photo of me. We were trying to photograph the dolphins. I was on my 100mm lens which was much too short.

So this is one of the many shots from my recent trip to the south.  This was shot in Tennessee.  I love the detail in the wood and how the whole structure leans from being so old.   I did adjust contrast in post and did some extra little adjustments.  There are so many abandonded homes and shacks all over the south.  I find it fascinating that at one time this was a shack or actually it looks like a tool shed that someone took the time to build with their own two hands and used it.  They walked in and out of it getting whatever necessary tools they needed to attend to their farm.  There is a soul that permeates around these places.  Like someone just up and walked away but their sould lingers.

Hi everyone !  So I recently returned from my trip to the south.  I went to shoot the Fall colors and small towns. So I flew to Nashville to meet up with a friend and we drove up to Kentucky then back down to Murfreesboro TN. then kept driving south stopping along the way whenever I saw something I wanted to shoot.  I met some interesting people in Alabama and Chattanooga.  All in all I had a blast and ended up with some beautiful photographs.  I shot with my Canon 1DS and a little bit with my Rolleiflex.

Shot this with my Canon 1DS at 28mm. I actually used a polarizing filter to richen the blue sky and green grass.

This is Malibu beach.  What a lucky moment.   Just as I was about to shoot, these pelicans flew into frame and I clicked !  Again shot with 35mm film, Velvia.

Shot this at Leo Carrillo beach. It was cold, windy and very treacherous. Set my camera on my tripod and shot away. Used a slow shutter speed and Fuji film , Velvia.

Shot this up in the mountains of Sacramento. Shot with my Canon 35mm film camera on Fuji Velvia. I set my camera on a tripod, got in the cold water and dragged the shutter. Used a wide lens, 28mm. What would have been cool was to use a fashion model in the shot.
