Little Pisgah 3-18-20
Jonathan Jackson2020-05-01T22:26:42+00:00My favorite landscape from Little Pisgah on March 18th, right before the cows started making their way across the pasture. Feedback on social media says the cow photo was the winner...

Jonathan Jackson2020-04-29T18:50:46+00:00Rhododendron macro from Carolina Native Nursery. The petals in focus center attention on the stamen. Had several shots with different points of focus but this is the one that stood out to me.
Azalea Macros – Carolina Native Nursery
Jonathan Jackson2020-04-29T18:35:16+00:00A couple azalea macro images. Both with very shallow depth of field, the backgrounds provide a place to rest the eye while searching for the limited focus.

Donkey Protection – Little Pisgah
Jonathan Jackson2020-05-01T22:42:33+00:00As the herd moved through the donkeys followed behind as protection. Feels like this should be a WNC Democratic Party poster. Spring is a nice time to be on the mountain.
Cows in the pasture – Little Pisgah

Light Breaks Through – Little Pisgah
Jonathan Jackson2020-04-29T18:06:30+00:00One of the things I consider before shooting sunrise is the weather. Took an opportunity on March 18th to go up to Little Pisgah as the rain was finishing up. The light broke through about 20 minutes after sunrise on the rock in the Hickory Nut Gorge. The clouds began clearing quickly leading to nice directional light.
