This Sky Caught Everyone’s Attention!

Kim Hadley – From Bluff

Now we have a third view. Kim is certainly closer to the dramatic cloud gyrations than either Larry or Shane. She was atop Bluff Mountain leading another group of visitors. But the perspective is about the same. Assuming the clocks on all three cameras were set correctly, these rolling (or roiling?) formations lasted for at least 1-1/2 hours.
Any more ACC members out there with a 4th look?
PS: To assume all three photographers had their camera clocks synchronized is a big leap of faith.

Capturing the Beauty of Coastal NC

Kim Hadley – Hazy Morning in Stacy NC

Descending from her mountain top home in Creston to the lowlands of coastal NC, Kim spent a week vacationing in the small township of Stacy, located just south of the lower Outer Banks. “I was waiting for the sun to rise above the tree line hoping for some nice warm morning colors to shoot…in the end, I liked this pre-sun shot better. I love the lime green in the marsh grass contrasted with the dark areas….and of course I made sure there was a ‘leading line’ for Kosinski to enjoy.”
This image is a great example of using High Dynamic Range to bring out the richness of the colors in the grass, the shimmering boardwalk and the contrasting blue of the roof without pushing the envelope too far and losing the softness of the morning light. Kim bracketed three shots at a difference of about 1-1/2 f/stops each, using shutter speeds of 1/20, 1/60 and 1/200/sec, then combined the three for the final photograph. The lens focal length was 41mm, the aperture f/7.1 and the ISO 100.
