Three outings in this one. First are a couple images from a hike around Lake Zwerner outside Dahlonega, GA with the Sonny Day Hikers. One is as the scene appeared; the other is my impressionistic treatment. Both are the same shot.
Second is a few from a sunrise at West Bank Park when the light was wicked good, and I even had a goose fly by so I could photograph him.
The last two are from another morning when the light was not so good. The ducks were the subject that helped out this time.
A couple of outings here: yet another sunrise at Lake Lanier, and a sunrise hike on Sawnee Mountain. There wasn’t much happening on the mountain, so I did some abstracts using intentional camera movement.
Two sunrises and a visit to Gibbs Gardens
More sunrises and a few things taken after thee sunrise: ducks and trees.
Two sets of images here. One is from a couple of great sunrises, the other is from a hike to Raven Cliff Falls with the Sonny Day Hikers.
I go t out a fair bit, but many of the outings were to watch the sunrise at West Bank Park on Lake Lanier. But there was a bit of other stuff too.
So the first gallery is a potpourri of sunrise images taken from July 1 through July 8
Then we have other images I took in the same time period. Some are the trees at West Bank Park as I walked after sunrise. Others are flowers in the yard, and there there a a few from a hike with the Sonny Day Hikers at Jones Bridge.
A mixture of shots, some sunrises, some flowers in the yard, some at Chattahoochee Pointe Park. We had mostly cloudy/rainy mornings for several days, so nice sunrises were welcome. And more stuff was blooming. The second gallery is from a late June hazy summer sunrise over Lake Lanier.
Just a nice sunrise at Lake Lanier. The clouds moved into position right on time.
First is a set of images of the first hosta blooms of the year. The same two blooms from three different angles.
Three things here: First is the annual Helen-to-the-Atlantic hot air balloon race. The race was not started on the day I was there because the wind was blowing the wrong way. The race did start the following day, but I was not there. On the third day I returned along with many photographers. At this event, onlookers are allowed to wander among the balloons as they are being inflated, and that is how I was able to take these pictures.
After the balloons were done, we went up to Ana-Ruby Falls since it is close by. I go there more often in the fall for the great color and because the light is better. But these are good images. just not my usual stuff.
The next days were two sunrises around a hike on the AT from Woody Gap to Gooch Gap and back.
