Cades Cove in the Spring

This image was taken this weekend in Cades Cove. With a 15mm lens at f-32 I was able get the depth of field I needed in order to get a sharp image from the rock to the mountains. 

Painting With Light

I used the same equipment for this shot too.

Pencil Sharpener in Filtered Light

This is a pencil sharpener in my photography class at Pellissippi State. All the equipment I used to produced this interesting light was a small flash light and a pair of red and blue paper frame glasses that they give you to view a 3D movie. I put the camera on a tripod so I could take a long exposure. Camera settings: ISO 200 - f-11- 30 sec. exposure. With all of the lights off during the 30 second exposure I placed the blue part of the glasses in front of my flash light and began painting the sharpener then I do the same with the red side of the glasses.

Spring Flowers in Black and White

I used only one channel to produce this black and white image of these purple flowers. I kept the red channel discarding the blue and green channel sof my RGB image. It seems to give the picture a infrared look.

Hosta in Black and White

More spring green comes out as the Hosta  plants become thick and healthy at this time of the year.. The beautiful lines on this broad leaf plant on the forest floor in the Southern Appalachians is one of my favorites. 

Spring Green in Morning Light

The light from the sun turned the leaves into light sources.I always enjoy the early light green colors of spring.

Portrait in Knoxville

Portraits are so interesting to me because they give so much information about a person through a simple composition.

Downtown Maryville Tennessee

This image was shot just before the sun went down giving just enough light to show some detail on the building.

The Joy of Photography

This is my photography class having fun capturing Downtown Maryville at night.

Parking Lot Arrow in Maryville Tennessee

I like the view of the low angle. I guess this is the same view a cat would have as he wondered through an empty parking garage at night.

Ice Forming Over The Little River Great Smoky Mountains National Park

It must be close to zero to have ice over moving water form. These unusual patterns are created by the water refreezes several times.
