Winter at Great Falls, VA

This past weekend, March 6-7, 2010, we had our first opportunity to travel to the Washington, DC area. While there, we went to Great Falls on the Potomac River. Winter can be a challenge to create images, but we were pleasantly surprised by what we saw at Great Falls. The snow and ice had cleaned the bolders and brought out the colors much more vividly. There was a rainbow-like effect on the water, which was higher than we have ever seen it.

Rime Ice Atop Mt. Rogers

On February 19, 2010, we had one of the most beautiful days that we have had this season, so we decided to drive to Grayson County, VA to see how it looked there after the many snow and ice storms. We were greeted by some of the most beautiful winter scenery we have ever seen. Rime ice had formed in the Grayson Highlands area, and it had snowed recently, adding to the drama. This image was made along with others on the "Recent photos" page. They are all High Dynamic Range images.

Northwest North Carolina on Ice

The Winter of 2009-2010

This winter we have experienced very harsh conditions: five major storms, very cold temperatures, and snow on the ground except for two days since December 18. We are currently under a High Wind Advisory with single digit wind chills. I have been experimenting with shooting through the window, moving from window to window in our great room to capture the ice and snow covered view.

Winter on Potato Creek

On Friday, December 18, 2009, we received 16" of snow in Alleghany County. It was the most snowfall I have seen here in the Blue Ridge Mountains since January 1998. Snow is a real challenge to photograph as it can fool the camera and make the snow look either too dark or too bright, so I have been working on making high dynamic range pictures. To do this, you shoot several images at different exposures and merge them in the computer. There is a big learning curve, but the challenge makes it more fun. This image was created using that technique. Enjoy!

Summer Sunset on Cold Mountain

Summer 2009 has been a very unusual summer in the Blue Ridge Mountains. We have had abundant rainfall which has produced lush foliage and understory in the forests. The temperatures have been cooler than in the past few years. It is one of the most beautiful summers I can remember.
