Photographs and commentary by Dick Snoke
I drove to Gorges State Park in North Carolina since I had never been there before. Then I went on to Brevard to visit friends and take pictures. That’s what I do in Brevard. I stayed overnight and got up early to watch the sunrise over the mountains.
Then I drove to Raleigh to visit family. While there I photographed the Dambo trolls in Dix park, stuff in Beth’s yard and stuff in the Beeloved Garden at the West Raleigh Presbyterian Church.
I was trying out an ultrawide angle lens, 10-18 mm. A lot of what I got was out of focus or too distorted to use. But I did learn a lot about the lens and wide-angle photography, and I did get a few good results.
