An Awesome Road Trip plus a waterfall

I recently got back from a 4 state road trip. I took so many pictures it’s gonna take me awhile to go through them all! This shot is of Mingo Falls. This breathtaking waterfall is located in Cherokee, North Carolina. At about 120 feet it is one of the tallest in the area. It is absolutely amazing to see in person. The Great Smoky Mountains National Park lived up to its name while I was there as it was foggy just about everyday. A few days it stayed that way the entire day! I will be posting more pics soon so stay tuned as I am trying to get back to my postaweek2011 challenge.

Mingo Falls

First Baptist Church

Located in downtown Tampa, Florida across the street from the University of Tampa. The sun was just setting and the color caught my eye. I really liked the light trails from the cars passing by and the ominous looking cloud formation over the church.

1948 Chevy Convertible

I like to hit a lot of the local weekly and nightly cruise-ins. This one in particular is every Tuesday night at the Prime Time restaurant. Jan’s Cruizin is a great place to see some awesome cars. I think classic cars and HDR photography go together really well. I prefer to take my bracketed shots on a tripod just to insure there is no movement between shots. This is a 3 exposure HDR. Please feel free to leave me a comment – I always respond and appreciate them!

Rust

I was driving past this rusty old water tower and had to turn around to get some shots. The sun was hitting it at just the right angle and lighting it up real nice. This is a 3 exposure handheld HDR.

The Revolver

This is a 100 foot tall ferris wheel located at Fun Spot Action Park in Orlando, Florida. I saw this as I was driving down the interstate and I knew I needed to stop and shoot it. I really liked the vibrant colors and the little mushroom head with the water flowing off it.
