Ran and snow runoff makes a big difference on the river. The photo above was today at flood stage and the photo below is how it normally looks.
Taking a short break from my family room series of photos:
With the recent heavy rains, melting snow and flood warnings I had to make a short visit to [...]

To yesterdays post, Paul Lester made a comment about my continuing to produce images from a particular location (Cooleemee River Park – Bull Hole) which got me to thinking.
I visit this area often as it’s local and has a small waterfall, rock formations and soothing running waters. I always take a camera but I don’t [...]

On a recent photo-trip to a nearby river area, I came across families with small children fishing along the shore. I watched a few moments while memories of my childhood fishing experiences flooded to the surface.

I tailored post processing on this photo to give a far eastern feel and overall am pleased with the results.

Have you noticed when out making photos you’ll seldom see wildlife until you remove a long lens and put on a shorter or extra-wide lens. Happens to me all the time. Just this morning I was shooting along the river and as soon as I switched from a 300mm zoom lens to an ultra-wide lens [...]

As any who follow this blog might know, I often visit and photograph at the Cooleemee Riverside Park (Bull Hole) located on the South Yadkin River near the small town of Cooleemee, NC.
While usually interesting, it’s especially so after a few days of rain–such as we just experienced.
By contrast, in dry periods little or no [...]

As you may know, especially if you follow the photos I post, one of my favorite local shooting spots is call the “Bull Hole” which is an old mill dam located on the South Yadkin River at Cooleemee, NC.
There’s a number of reasons I keep going back to this location to take photographs.
I love [...]

Even if we’re expecting a mini “heat wave” this weekend with highs near 80°F, it’s not warm enough for the old swimming hole. Burrrr, I bet the water’s cold!
This fire hose swing is located just above a small dam on the South Yadkin River, NC, within the Cooleemee River Park. I don’t think I’d risk [...]
