  • The Sunsphere - Knoxville, TN
  • 47/365 - February 21, 2012 - Knoxville at Noon Today on my lunch break, I made a quick trip to the 11th Street Garage off of Cumberland Avenue to get a shot of the Knoxville skyline from the World's Fair Park perspective. After setting up on the tripod to help combat the heavy wind gusts, I decided to shoot a multi-shot panoramic. This shot is made up of 10 photos, which I processed individually in Lightroom prior to running the photo merge in Photoshop. I considered posting a black and white version, but the colors in this rendition were too good to pass up. Beautiful day in Knoxville...

  • 343/365 - December 13, 2012 - Hoskins, Good Food Tonight I had to attend a school board meeting in Clinton. Afterwards, I took advantage of being in Clinton and grabbed some shots of the neon signage at Hoskins Drug Store. This shot is a 2 second exposure that I zoomed from 105mm to 24mm during the exposure to produce the light streaks.
  • 285/365 - October 16, 2012 - World's Fair Sunset After work, I met up with Lisa to take the kids off her hands so she could attend some Premier training. On our way home, we ventured down to the World's Fair Park to take an attempt at a shot I have wanted to do for a while, but for whatever reason just haven't done it. My timing for this shot was just lucky. I had setup just as the sun was going below the horizon, and the sky was fairly plain with a few clouds. To my surprise, I was fortunate enough to get about 2 minutes of pink hue on the clouds. To capture the wide range of lighting, I created a 6-exposure HDR composite.
  • 284/365 - October 15, 2012 - Splendid Color Today was a day of unplanned spontaneity. My day at work was cut short by 9:00 due to Lisa not feeling well, as I went home to watch the kids to allow her to rest. My goal was to try and work from home, but after 3 hours of being constantly interrupted by the kids, I gave up. In an effort to keep from having to continually corral the kids from Lisa, I decided around 2:00 to pack up the kids and the camera. After picking up my brother, who is on fall break, we decided to take advantage of the beautiful afternoon and head towards the Smokies to check out the fall foliage. We ended up taking a short hike to Laurel Falls, which is one of the only paved trails that I know of that is reasonable enough to allow use of the stroller for the kids. Our timing couldn't have been better, as the colors are just beginning to peak along the trail. I captured several great shots and will be tempted to use a couple more in the days to come if my inspiration is lacking. This was one of my favorites due to the sunburst effect I created with the sun placment between the two trees.
  • 254/365 - September 15, 2012 - Gameday Today was a special day, well at least until midway through the 3rd quarter of the football game that ensued following this photograph. Tennessee's bitter rival Florida was in town for what was supposed to be college football's marque game of the weekend. With ESPN's College Gameday show in town and its associated hype, the atmosphere on campus today felt like the old days when Tennessee football was relevant. To help capture the excitement, I brought my camera to the stadium and captured this panoramic shot from the north endzone upper deck just prior to the team taking the field through the T.
  • 124/365 - May 8, 2012 - Morehead City Docks After a long, relaxing day with the family on the beach, Anna and I went out about sunset to grab some takeout food for dinner to take back to the condo. On the way to pick it up, we made a detour to the Morehead City Docks to capture this shot at sunset.
  • 4/365 - January 9, 2012 - Monday Comfort After a rough Monday at work and an evening by myself with the kids, I decided to sit down, relax and enjoy the BCS Championship Game with a Tennessee tradition...after the kids were sound asleep of course.
  • 253/365 - September 14, 2012 - St. Augustine Sunrise Today was our day of departure from St. Augustine. In hopes of getting through Atlanta prior to the evening rush hour, we decided to get up early and hit the road between 7 & 8. In doing so, I was able to sneak down to the beach one last time between trips to the car to capture the sunrise. I caught this shot with a large piece of driftwood in the foreground that had washed ashore yesterday morning. I thought it added some interest to what would have been a typical sunrise shot. Too bad we had to leave...
