Setting the mood

A haunting tale of Gracie

I knew this was going to be a black and white image when I saw it, so I wanted the statue to really stand out, this is where spot metering comes in handy, I wanted very little distraction from Gracie, so metering out the surrounding area kept the interest on the statue.

Landcsapes in Portrait mode

When doing my research on this shot, I found most images where done in landscape mode, so an easy way to make something different is to do what others have not, this image highlights the moss more than the trees, yet still gives that vanishing point effect that I wanted. Just wish I had better light that day, another trip to Savannah is in order.

Brick and mortar - Savannah, Georgia

I recently visited Fort Pulaski, just outside Savannah, GA. on Cockspur Island. A unique history surrounds this fort, the end of an era for brick and mortar.

Savannah and its environs are a place dear to my heart, I spent two years living there and I have some close friends that still live there. But in all my time there I only visited Pulaski once and never photographed it, now I wish I had more time to go back and fully document this piece of Americas history from the Civil War.

More coming soon....
