We have not had many nice sunrises this year. Here is one more from late March
A group of us from various photography clubs in north Georgia spent a crisp late winter morning at Panther Falls and Minnehaha Falls north of Lake Rabun. We were at Panther Falls for a while before the sun got up over the trees and made the light to harsh. So we had time to move around and choose our compositions. By the time we made it to Minnehaha Falls, the sun was directly above the falls, shining brightly straight into our lenses. So there we had to settle for various compositions of small parts of the falls. It was a challenge. Then I went home.
A very pretty sunrise and a walk at the Mill Creek Nature Center
A visit to the gardens with a fellow photographer. The forecast was for a cloudy sky, but we had brilliant sunshine, and that made finding compositions difficult. We did find good backlit daffodils early on, but as the sun rose higher, it got harder. So we gave up, had lunch and returned home.
I got up for two consecutive sunrises, and were they different from one another. And I hiked the Bartram Trail from Warwoman Dell to both Becky Branch Falls (only one image) and then Martin Creek Falls (the other waterfall images).
I drove south to Callaway Gardens to join the Cobb Photographic Society in shooting butterflies, blooms and birds. Good fun and good photo ops, but a long hard drive.
This was a slow month photographically. We had a lot of rainy days, and I wasn’t motivated to get out since not much was growing or blooming. I did walk at Sims Lake Park a couple of times, and on one of those walks, the wood ducks were close enough to photograph. And then our daffodils bloomed. And lastly, I hiked the red/white loop at Sweetwater Creek State Park. The creek was running high due to the recent rains, and there was some fungi around, but not much else.
Two things here. First is pictures from the Savoy Automobile Museum in Cartersville, GA. I was there with the Cobb Photographic Society and the North Georgia Photography Club.
Next is images from two early mornings and one late afternoon. We had really mixed weather for the first couple weeks of this year.
So, from the car museum:
And then the weather pictures
A variety of images from the second half of December 2022.
