Skinny Dip Falls

This weekend Barbie and I took a trip on the Parkway to Skinny Dip Falls and had a wonderful time. It was a warm day and the rain let up for once, to make things even better there weren’t too many people there so we had one of the swimming holes to our selves, there are two deep ones and two shallow ones. The trip to and from the falls is 1 1/4 mile and isn’t too steep, it’s a great trip for beginner hikers like Barbie and I or families with small children. The swimming holes have ledges which make for great jump off spots and the water isn’t too cold, once you get used to it. This makes for a great weekend trip because it’s free, did I mention that I’m cheap, and you get some exercise along with a fun trip. The one thing I will do differently the next time is to remember the clip to attach my camera to my tripod, it is very disappointing to carry the tripod all the way in for pictures of the falls and not be able to use it. Below are some photos of our trip, you should go some time!

I’m working to get into photography professionally and have sold a few of my photos at events such at the Apple Festival in Hendersonville. I enjoy landscapes and nature photography but I have shot a few events as well and would like to get into wedding photography. I’ve attached a mixture of photos from my portfolio and I will be shooting a wedding in a couple weeks and will upload some of those photos as well. I prefer candids and often tell people that if they can just ignore me I can get far better photos than they would expect such as these photos (IMPG1209-1 & IMPG1215-1). To this end I will often use a zoom lens and capture shots from across a room, through a window, or from behind other people as in these photos (IMPG1195-1 & IMPG1237-1). These often provide interesting frames for the subject such as seen in these photos (IMPG1266-1 & _IGP7175). Then there are always some people who just love to pose for the camera and beg to have their picture taken such as this (_IGP6843). I know that the landscape and nature photos don’t really apply to weddings but they should help you get an idea of my photographic style. I would love to get your feedback in the comments of this post, thanks.
