Was amateur hour taking these photos, forgot to charge my batteries. If I had more air time I think there would have been a better shot. These turned out ok, the fog was pretty cool though.

More Photos from our camping trip, having to post them separate because instagram doesn't like different aspect ratios. #redtopmountainsp #redtopmountainga #redtopmountainhiking #redtopmountain #redtopmountian #redtopmountainstatepark

My drink enjoying the sunset while camping. Wasn’t expecting the sky to turn into fire.

My next festival is fast approaching, be sure you to come on out and see me.

Fall is fast approaching, so this means its time for all the spiders to decorate my house for Halloween. This guy has been setting up shop the past few nights a couple feet away from our porch light. I will be the first to say I am not a huge fan of spiders but I do find them interesting. Figured this was a good opportunity to play with my macro lens, it was hard to get the body and legs into focus, I still need some practice with that. I also got way closer to it than I thought I would, because this is a tight corner and his body is facing the house I had to tuck myself behind it with not much room to flee if it decided to get on me lol. #spookyphotos #spookyphotoshoot #spookyphoto #spookyphotograph #spiderphotos #spiderphoto #spiderphotoshoot #spiderphotography

Day 31, Finally made it to the end of the month. I figured it would be fitting to use one of the last photos I took on our recent trip. I had tried almost every morning to get a good sunrise photo but the was not having any luck. Then when we did get a decent sunrise I somehow lost my cpl filter walking across the beach, never did find it. Coupled with my lens fogging up constantly. I was happy to snap this shot. #sunrisephoto #sunrisephotos #sunrisephotoshoot #sunrisephotograph #sunrisephotographs #sunrisephotography #beachsunrise #beachsunrises #beachsunrise🌅 #beachsunrise☀️ #beachsunrise🌇 #beachsunrise☀️🌊 #beachsunrisephotography #huntingislandsc #huntingislandsc🌴 #huntingislandsc🏖 #huntingislandscsunrise #theresabirdinthere #theresabirdintheretoo

Day 30, Another shot from our hunting island camping trip. I had all but given up on getting any wildlife shots this morning. But I checked one more area and when I thought all was lost I heard this guy in the tree. I was able to get quite a few shots before it flew off. #huntingislandsc #huntingislandsc🌴 #birdphoto #birdphotos #birdphotography #birdphotographer #woodpeckers #woodpecker #woodpeckerbird #woodpeckersofinstagram #woodpeckerphotography #woodpecker

Day 29, just got finished wrapping up a beach camping trip. I managed to capture the milky way 3 nights in a row, by the third night I think I finally got my settings right to create a sharp enough image to share. For those that care iso 800, 10 second shutter f1.8 at 35mm. Today will be a twofer because I like both of these in their own way. #huntingislandsc #huntingislandsp #huntingislandbeachsc #huntingislandbeach #huntingislandlighthouse #huntingislandstatepark #huntingislandstateparksc #huntingislandsouthcarolina #milkywayphotos #milkywayphotography #milkywayphotography #milkywayphotographers #milkywayphoto #astrophotography #astrophotographer #astrophotography_ #astrophotographyworld

Day 28, More fall photos. I can't wait for this fall as I found a new love for aerial road photos taking these shots. This is from the Cherohala Skyway (I think on the TN side). #dronephoto #dronephotography #dronephotography #dronephotographer #dronephotos #dronephotograpy #djimini3pro #djimini3prophotography #fallroadphotography #cherohalaskyway

Day 27, The Euharlee Covered bridge. I almost didn't take any pictures this morning because when I got to the bridge I didn't find it interesting. But ultimately decided to put the drone up seeing I drove all the way there. I love how this one turned out in the end. #coveredbridgephoto #coveredbridgephotos #coveredbridgephotography #fallphoto #fallphotos #fallphotography #fallsunrise #fallsunrises #fallsunrise🍁 #fallsunrise🌄 #fallsunrise🍁🍂 #euharleega #euharleegeorgia #euharleecoveredbridge #euharleecoveredbridgefallfestival

Day 26, Figured I should post a dog photo seeing its national dog day. One of my first action type shots back when I got my first "real" camera. #nationaldogday #nationaldogday🐶 #nationaldogday🐾 #nationaldogday🐶❤️ #nationaldogday❤️ #nationaldogday🐶🐾 #corgi #corgilove #corgilife #corgiworld #corgination #corgicommunity #corgisofinstagram

Day 25, Providence Canyon State park, or the little grand canyon as some may call it. I had high expectations going here and think I was hard on myself trying to find photos to shoot. Then I made the noob mistake of leaving my other battery in the car so I was running low on battery shortly after getting to the canyon floor. Either way this shot came out nice, I like the sunstar I managed to capture. #providencecanyon #providencecanyon #providencecanyonpark #providencecanyongeorgia #providencecanyonstatepark #providencecanyonstateparkga #sunstarphoto #sunstarphotos #sunstarphotography

Day 24, Bluff Creek Alabama. Was able to capture the paper mill while getting the sunset. The paper mill being probably the only negative thing about the bluff creek campground. You hear it running all night and luckily the smell was staying south of us for the most part. #bluffcreek #sunsetphoto #sunsetphotos #sunsetphotoshoot #sunsetphotograph #sunsetphotographs #sunsetphotography #dronephotography #dronephoto #dronephotography #djimini3pro #djımini3pro #djimini3prophotography

Fall is coming... which means festival time (for those of us who don't feel like melting during summer events). Come on out and see me, I will have tons of prints on hand. 

Please like and share this post, lets start the festival season off with a bang.

Day23, This was from our stop in Texas at MERUS adventure park on our way to Colorado. Feels kind of like a NuCamp ad. Just a nice shot of our rig with the sun setting. #nucamp #nücamp #nucamprv #nucamptab400 #nucamptab400bd #nucamptab400boondock  #merusadventure #merusadventurepark

Day 22, More from Pear Park (seems like a theme going here). I tried singling out some of these birds but my long lens just doesn't have that kind of reach. So I zoomed out and shot this tree with a few birds in it. Something about the hazy morning sky in the background but this was probably one of my favorite shots of the weekend. #pearparkfl #birdsinatree #birdphotos #birdphotography #birdphoto

Day 21, Pear park wasn't a complete loss for birds there were a few ok shots I got. #birdphotography #birdwatching #birds #birdsofinstagram #pearparkfl #greaterthornbird

Day 20, While I couldn't find many birds at pear park I did find some dragon flys. The face on this one looks interesting, when I look at it I can't help but hear Hulk Hogan saying "Brother" lol. #dragonfly #dragonflyphoto #dragonflyphotos #dragonflyphotography

Day 19, Another one from the recent Helen trip. I wanted to play with long exposure shots of this water feature outside the shops in Helen. I tried a few different angles this is the one I liked best. #helenga #waterfall #waterfall #waterfalls

Day 18, recent trip to Helen GA. We visited while camping at Vogel State park, this trip was weird photography wise, I felt a lot of pressure to take pictures so I ended up not taking many at all. This is a waterfall near what I guess one would call downtown Helen.  #creekphotos #creekphotograph #creekphotography #creekphotoshoots #helenga #waterfalls #waterfall #waterfall

Day 17, Blackrock mountain state park. Not quite sunset but I really liked the contrast of the bright sky with the almost silhouette of the mountains. #mountainsunsets #mountainsunset #mountainsunset🌄 #mountainsunsets🌄 #mountainsunsets❤️

Day 16, From Rocky Mountain National park. I had hoped to get some good wildlife shots but was striking out. While heading out I saw this view and really liked it. Full disclosure the clouds have been manipulated a bit. I really liked the foreground but getting that in the shot meant for a small mountain. #rockymountains #rockymountainviews #rockymountainnationalpark

Day 15, Another one from Sloppy Floyd state park. This didn't come out like I wanted, I am still on the hunt for a good ferns in the woods photo. It was an overcast day so not much for rays of sunlight coming in. Does make for an ok moody photo though. #moodyphotos #moodyphoto #moodyphotograph #moodyphotography #nature photos #naturephotos

Day 14, I went to the Pear Park Wildlife Conservation area in hopes of getting some good bird shots. When I started hiking the trail I couldn't help but notice the sunrise was looking pretty good so I snapped this picture. #floridasunrise #floridasunrises #sunrisephoto #sunrisephotos #sunrisephotographs #sunrisephotography

Day 13, From a recent camping trip to Sloppy Floyd State park. I really liked the canopy of this tree. But really to me it didn't turn out that interesting. #treephotograpy #treephotography #treephotographs

Day 12, This photo was expensive... I ended up crashing my drone when I didn't see a twig off a tree branch when repositioning. That short 20ft ish fall was enough to end my day and break one of the arms off. #fallfogphoto #fogphotos #fogphotoshooting #fallphotos #fallphotography #fallphoto #dronephoto #dronestagram #dronephotography #dronephotography

Day 11, One of the first shots when I first got my 35mm macro lens. Not even sure if this qualifies as macro photography. But I love how I got the bee leaving, yea that was it backing out not coming in. #beephoto #beephotos #beephotography #beephotogtaphy #beephotography🐝 #beephotographhy #macrophotography #macro #macroflowers #macroflower #macroflowershots #macroflowerstagram #roseofsharonphotography #roseofsharonphotos
