Photographs and commentary by Dick Snoke
The North Georgia Photography Club (NGPC) held a “shootout” competition in Roswell, GA on a Saturday morning. I was a judge, so I could not submit any images, but that did not stop me from wandering around and taking pictures. The categories/themes were Old…
I thought I would miss the fall color in Georgia while on my trip to Capitol Reef National Park. But I was wrong! There was still plenty of color left after I returned. Some good light before and right after sunrise at West Bank…
I have quite a collection for the month so far (the 20th). I was up for sunrise quite a few days, and several days had very pretty light before and after sunrise. I also hiked around the base of Stone Mountain. The light was…

Not as much opportunity in the second half of the month, but I did get a few. Sunrise light was good a couple of days, and the NGPC went out one night to photography the Milky Way. I also walked the greenway a few…
Another collection of sunrises over Lake Lanier. I have been going there for sunrise and a hike with my full backpack as often as possible.
