Mountain Trip Followup

 I recently did a mountain trip to Lake Lure, North Carolina for a few days. I got to relax, hike, do my own photography while I was there particularly nature photography and Kayaking on Lake Lure.


In the lake near the rental condo we rented for three days, I went down in the afternoon to see what was happening at the lake along with the conditions in the area and wildlife behavior and habitats.

I was able to get photos of the dragonflies, some macro insects and geese and ducks on the lake. I was noticing some behaviors that the geese were doing on the lake while I was photographing them.

The next day, I did some kayaking on Lake Lure. I am well at doing kayaking since I have done it many times in the past. I have done white water rafting in Arizona, the outer banks of North Carolina and now kayaking in the mountains of North Carolina.










The next evening I went back to lake Lure to see the sunset and photograph it over the mountains that surrounded Lake Lure. The mountains that surround Lake Lure are called  Bald Mountain.

The conditions the night I took the sunset where partly cloudy and humidity was over 50 percent to make some good photo opportunities  to do sunset photograph while I was there.  When the sunset started occurring I immediately went down to the water to start experimenting what i could use a foreground and subject matter for the photo opportunities I wanted for my sunset photos over the lake.

This one in particular was the coolest sunset picture I took while I was there at sunset on Lake Lure with the right conditions for sunset . I had to underexpose a lot to keep the subject and the golden hour of sunset colors to match what I wanted it to look like in my picture over the lake in the conditions.

Step into Nature # 10

 Welcome back to another post on my blog for this weeks Step into Nature. Let's see what adventures of the post we are going to do for this weeks Step into Nature. This a Tri- Colored Heron, Which I photographed at Pickney Wildlife Refuge while I was on vacation way back in Hilton Head. The Tri- Colored Herons a very cool waterfowl to photograph and they have different color variants compared to the Great Blue Herons found in Central North Carolina, where I live. If you have a chance to find TriColor Herons you should photograph them and they are just like the other waterfowl that can be found in central North Carolina . This is a Jellyfish, which I photographed at Myrtle Beach during sunset conditions. The photograph came out really cool. Jelly Fish are very interesting subjects to photograph at local beaches.  I decided to use the jelly fish as my subject for this photograph  during sunset conditions. This was also taken at Myrtle Beach when i was on vacation in 2019. T...

Turtle Behaviors Already!!

As you can see from the photos below, I was able to capture turtle behavior. These pond sliders were very use to people around Anderson Park. As you can see the turtles were fighting to sun on the same rock. They made quite the pair together to photograph. This was a very fun day to watch animal behavior in the wild. As you can see the turtles cooperated together and made peace to each other to sun together on this rock.
