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.

When this tornado touched down on the ground another tornado started forming in the same storm system that had produced this massive tornado of E-F5 status but this tornado that touched down right after the first was rated as an E-F 0 tornado, that did minor damage compared to the massive one that stayed on the ground for 38 miles.   Wh...

Just a little snow

Hey hey it Al back with a snow pictures from earlier today which I used My iPhone XR for these photographs of the snow , since I did not use my camera for these shots. We were supposed to get 1-3 inches of snow accumulation in this area but we only ended up with a dusting of snow.  Some schools in the area of central North Carolina either did remote learning, delayed openings or closed for the day which one school system , did which was Chapel Hill Carrboro City schools. Even though, this was the only snow storm that Some snow stuck to the ground some did not stick to the ground due to the rain before that. In this shot, I did with the snow I used the snow as foreground element and used the remaining of the background to be blurred out to make an interesting photograph that came out really cool for this shot. I hope we might get another snow storm in February this year that might produce more snow and I can take even more pictures of it if is possible to happen this year in North C...
