Landscape Photography
Some evenings the sky is filled with color, others a golden glow. Either way a walk with a camera is always an adventure.
A layer of clouds hid the sunset, we still had soft light along the shoreline.
The coast is filled with inlets, creeks, and rivers here. It’s a highway for Brown Pelicans.
A few random shots from a walk on the Charleston shore.
I believe this is Sarah Hopton, wife of Nathaniel Russell a wealthy 19th century merchant and trader. This portrait hangs on the first turn of a the large free standing staircase in their home of 1808.
Charleston, South Carolina.
A great way to start the day out there.
Sunrise in the ACE Basin, South Carolina.
In the fall, end of day, is probably the best time of year on the shore.
Yes, you will still find a few people around. usually not enough to matter.
Charleston, South Carolina.
Bird Key, a small island off coastal South Carolina is just a few miles from Folly Island.
Best I can tell the Pelicans are heading in that direction each night. It’s a protected rookery so it’s a safe assumption. Thousands of Pelicans live there.
Taken end of day, the usual low light glare and colors.
I noticed this set on an old desk as I walked through a Charleston manor house.
The rooms are dark, some even blocked from entry. I do like to poke around when I can though.
The first photograph was done in a softer matte for no other reason than it seemed like a good idea at the time.
Charleston, South Carolina.
Found in the dunes along the shore.
Folly Island, South Carolina.
Losing the day but still plenty of glare from the low sun.
