Despite barns being one of my favorite buildings to photograph, I don't often get the chance to. Here's one next to a pond that I spent dawn at the other week.

A white monitor barn sits up the slope in this just-after-dawn photo. Soft light turns its white face pink and its silver roof shines a touch more blue. Mostly dormant grass hosts scattered leaves, giving way only to the tree line in the distance. a 90 degree view of the same barn, later in the morning. There is a single door on the side of the barn with a cable running out of it to the roof. Trees lit golden by the sun still show some green leaves. A house looks small underneath them.

In the left mid ground, a bright orange tree's upper left leaves shine brightly in late evening sun, filling the frame. The sky is a bright blue w/ golden clouds contrasting with the dark field in the foreground.

Evening in the mountains. Both the edge and the center of a shower that passed over the hills below.

Pastel clouds lit in sunset light as the edge of a storm rolls through. autumn trees shine orange even in shadow. a golden sun shines through the rain below. Dark clouds hang low over the mountains. Shadows engulf the trees in the foreground and the valleys disappear into blue haze in the mid ground.

Pines, oaks, and more shine in brilliant orange contrasted in light with their dark trunks. It's golden hour in the woods. Looking upward, an old oak whose branches are as thick as younger trees' trunks. It's leaves in bright yellow

An afternoon of mostly cloudy skies created moments of fantastic light as seen here.

What must it be like to live in the old fire lookout watching over the burgeoning autumn season?

I've been reading George Masa's Wild Vision (Brent Martin) and I highly recommend it if you have any interest in NC/Appalachian photography. He's no small part in why we have the Parks and the Appalachian trail.

A growing plurality of orange and yellows dot this mountain. Clouds loom heavily on the frame, threatening to take away the sun for the evening. A bush and conifer tree in the foreground give way to the rolling hills of appachia behind them. Mostly green on this side, still bright colors freckle the landscape below and into the distance.

From July: My partner and I continued after the trail ended down an access road for municipal services. Taken w/ my Olympus XA (now w/ broken rewinder).

A muddy road in the woods, light beams down on an open section before shrouding us again in its lovely shade. From an open field, the red clay path for work trucks disappears into the trees. Cirrus clouds dull the bright blue sky.

Nearing a wonderful time of year in the mountains. For ease, I rented a zoom for this trip compared to my usual "bag of primes". Must be nice for these zoom users to not have to walk so far!

The beginnings of Autumn in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Trees have begun to turn providing splotches of red, orange, and yellow amongst the green. This image follows a valley half shrouded in shadow up towards the peak. Bright sun twists around the mountain providing bright early evening sun in patches not blocked.

spent a day on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Gorging myself on views and romanticizing the open road. Conspiring that I could van life or attempt a thru hike of this beautiful state. My final image of the evening.

From the parking lot of Waterrock Mountain. A van decked out for living sits at the bottom of the frame. The sun has set behind us and trees barely grace the image at the same height of the van. Behind them, the blue ridge mountains, blue and hazy as they are famous for. The sky rises large behind them, Pink and blue with scattered clouds painted on them.

This latest roll is fraught with issues, plus four negatives are missing from their sleeve. It's okay, accidents happen, sometimes chems are older, and labs are busy. Color shifts aside, many lack compositionally, which is all me.

Bright trees give way to blue shadows in the background, a muddy image if there ever was one. The bridge, supposedly one stopping point for the eye is lost in it.

I love the depth you can achieve this time of year. Some of the trees begin their change very early creating a subtle palette of color versus the stark wall of green during the mid summer.

The trees, a pleasing palette of soft yellows, greens, and a few bright red patches sit on the shoreline of a lake. The sky is quickly brightening as high clouds move away revealing the morning blue underneath.

Three trees have fallen in the forest. One completely on its side, another leans the opposite onto more trees. The last, our primary subject, leans at a 45 degree angle. Shrouded black against the backdrop of the green. its winding branches reach to the top of the image. A ray of morning sunshine peers through the leaves and the tree highlighting a pine in the corner of the image.

From the rock in the second picture, a recently fallen tree juts out into water. Framed by tall pines and more on each side of the water they narrow into a dark stream in the middle of the frame. Sunlight tickles the top of the trees in the background. A boulder framed by ferns sits on the edge of the water. An evergreen hangs low over top of it. More trees line the background.

I had to double check my negative to make sure this ghosting wasn't a scanning issue, and unfortunately, it's not. I think it detracts from the image I had in mind, but maybe someone else likes the effect?

Early sunlight pierces the forest veil, a ray illuminated by a slight haze from the lake shines on a row of trees. The forest floor is covered in dead limbs and small amounts of green plants growing between them. Their purply shadow courtesy of ektar.

From an evening walk at my usual haunt. Fast moving clouds closed in as sunset drew near, my image disappearing behind them.
I've spent many evenings this summer checking weather and airplane radar to get the image in my head onto a negative.

The sun, recently blocked by clouds moving in, shines through for a very purple sunset The sun, much lower in the sky now, a last gap in the clouds shines through the lake towards us. The shot is framed by wooded shoreline.

Had some wonderful light the other week in this section of the preserve. As summer winds down I am venturing out more often. I hope I can capture this late summer beauty before Autumn arrives. More to come.

I've been joking w/ my gf that most of my photos this summer have been documenting suburbia while on our evening walks. Whether it's our neighborhood or the trails nearby, it's evident that our town is filling in the gaps with housing everywhere they can.

From a new walking trail. Leftover pines block a new neighborhood from view save for a small gap where an excavator is parked behind allowing us a window to see the change they try to hide. An empty field, late in the summer day. Heavy vignetting from a wide open aperture show a green field with a large sky above. Trees line the property line.

A well-used forklift at the plant store. This is from my first color roll on my Olympus XA that I tore down and "fixed" (didn't break further).

#filmphotography

The cab of a reddish orange forklift. The seat is the main focus. The leather has been ripped and torn from years of workers getting in and out. The yellowed foam cushion is visible in the chair in large clumps and even some of that is gone. A chain with a hook sits next to the chair. The rear of the forklift sits off center of this photo, leading up to it is an endcap of trees and patio furniture. The forklift is parked in the middle of the aisle at the end of it. Clay pots line the shelves on the right side of he image. The back of the building is all glass, revealing green trees that line the property.

An old house sits on the shoreline to this lake. Cast in inky blue darkness you can still tell it's overgrown. A small dock with a boat shed juts out into the middle of the frame. The sky is indigo and rain sits on the horizon. The sun still shines through the top of the image.
