An Early Morning Under the Bridge
Once again it’s late August and my wife and I visit the Greenbrier Resort in White Sulphur Springs, WV for her to attend a work conference. I tag along and during the day, while she is busy attending meetings, I venture out to the surrounding area with a camera. Previous years, I’ve been to the Falls of Hills Creek and Sandstone Falls. This time I drive a bit further out to see the New River Gorge Bridge and drive the single lane road underneath it.
I arrived just after dawn and roamed around for a few hours waiting for the light and happily stomping around the river. Once I got the shots I wanted, I headed up to the trailhead parking lot for Long Point. This trail is almost 2 miles and heads to a beautiful rocky overlook of the bridge and surrounding area.
Other times during our stay, with my wife in the conference, I wandered around the grounds of the resort and happily snapped away at the historic structures. The kit I brought with me consisted of the X-Pro2, Rokinon 12mm, 23mm f/2, XF 18-55mm and XF 55-200mm along with a tripod and other small accessories. For walking around the grounds, I carried only the primes to keep weight down and force me into certain perspectives. Once again, the Fuji setup was a pleasure to use and produced some great images.
Serenity in the Woods
The weather was just about perfect all weekend while we were out in the woods camping.
The green has returned
The past few months have been busy so I haven’t had an opportunity to really get out with a camera too much. Lately though, I’ve been finding small slices of time to peer through the viewfinder and try to make something. These shots are from our latest camping trip and bike riding on the Great Allegheny Passage trail.
