The Pine Forest

I love hiking and being in the outdoors. Frankly, I even enjoy hikes that are strenuous. The hiking and physical part of getting to the locations that I photograph adds to the richness of the experience and clears my mind, setting the stage for the creative process to begin. With that in mind here is an image I created when everything finally came together. And here is a Iphone photograph of the trail I hiked 6 times over 2 days seeking the right light.
I am back in off the road for a few days to sort through images from several of the shoots I have been on. Here is an image from the Cumberland Mountains.

Just before sunrise in the Cumberland Mountains of Tennessee. The greatest thing about my career as a nature photographer has to be that sense of awe and wonder that washes over me when I come across a scene like this in nature.

It is amazing to me how light can transform. This wonderful rock formation came alive in the extraordinary light this summer on a recent hike at Big South Fork National Recreation Area.
