HIGH POV DEER



I took this shot of a deer relaxing on the grounds of Rock City in Chattanooga, Tennessee back in early June. I used Olympus' native software to apply a “diorama" effect that helps exaggerate the high POV the shot was taken from.

SEED POD


This flower and seed pod was photographed one afternoon in my front yard.  I shot it with my 60mm Olympus macro lens handheld at f18 ISO400 1/125 and an EV of -2.7.

DEEP CREEK BRIDGE


This shot was taken along the trail at Deep Creek in the Great Smokey Mountain National Park just outside of Bryson City, NC.  I shot the low POV off hand at 1/30th of a second at f11 with a 22mm focal length [44mm equivalent] and ISO200.

JAKE'S CREEK NEAR ELKMONT


This shot of Jake's Creek was taken from a wooden bridge that crosses it near the Elkmont campground in the Great Smokey Mountain National Park.  I set up my tripod here hoping to capture some shots of the annual firefly show but it turned out to be better bug viewing down the trail.
