Flat Rock Park
It didn’t start off as the best day. Well, I had to go to work for one, but that isn’t what I meant. Weather was iffy. Until the sun works it way back to rising at a proper time being in the dark an extra hour in the morning is not ideal. But, the day turned it around by the time I decided to get off the couch.
It would have been easy to remain on my butt after dinner. I’m glad I didn’t.
As I’m sure you have figured out, I went to Flat Rock Park. Although it was a beautiful evening, the cooler temps, or maybe because it was a Monday, kept most people away. I had the area around the waterfall basically to myself. I explored…
I don’t remember this image happening. I assume it was during a switch from landscape to portrait orientation on the tripod. It was a nice surprise when I loaded the images into Lightroom. This is the first one I processed last night. I’m really liking it and I am thinking I need to create a few more like this…
I moved further upstream then I have explored before and was rewarded with this view. Yes, these are the same set of trees I have been including in most images at the park. They are such camera hogs, practically begging to be photographed.
What trip to the park would be complete without some flowing water. I’ll admit the recent rains helped, but the light on the trees (yes, those trees) is what really jumped out at me. Come on, admit it, you would have captured this view too… right?
I suppose I should get ready for work. I know, I would rather be out with the camera too, but I do like my toys.
Later…



I have a few Oops images I like as well. Mostly when I haven’t tightened something on the tripod well enough. I like your Oops, but I LOVE your Striking image! And I am continually amazed at how you hand hold so steady the longer shutter speeds.
Thanks Dawn. I have been pushing what I can do hand-held but for these I actually brought my tripod with me since I wanted to use some filters.
That makes sense.
I love the happy accident type of photos. That’s a great one. And yes, of course, I would be photographing those trees (especially with that light!). Beautiful.
It really is the light that catches my eye first… Thanks Robin.
