Nightfall in Downtown Chattanooga

Through the summer, Chattanooga sponsors an open air, evening concert series called "Nightfall". I didn't go down for the music, but I happened by just after and decided to take some pictures. Similar to the pictures of the Terminal, I used long exposure to highlight structure and focal pieces while people swirl around them. Since motorcycles are the only ones allowed past the roadblock, they definitely factor in people conversations. What do you guys think of them?




Also had spent some time down by the Choo Choo. Most of you will recognize the name from the song even if you have never seen it in real life. 



I think this is my favorite of the night

The Terminal

Newer restaurant and bar in downtown Chattanooga. I loved the contrast of the lights and structures being motionless and sharp, while all the motions swirls past like water. You will probably see more of this type of picture in the future. As I improve, I realize more and more just how much I love the effect that only time and delay can bring to the photograph. You are never quite sure what it will turn out like. So many intricacies are only highlighted when viewed in composite with other movements around it. Anyway... enough from me. Hope you like them as much as I do.

Sunset in the Cemetery

Just a teaser of what I have in the works from last night. Enjoy!

Memorial to soldiers buried in the cemetery (over 12,000) that died in the area between 1861-1865.

August Giveaway!!!

It's that time again. This month the giveaway is for a framed print. There are several to choose from. Check them out...






Ok, so here are the rules. Three ways to qualify. First is to "share" this on Facebook. That can be accomplished by the widget in the top right corner of this post. Another way to share is to copy and paste the address and then post it to your profile manually. Of course, if you were re-directed to this site from FB to start with, you can just cheat and share the link to your profile. All about making it easy here...
Option 2 is to become an email subcriber. This was by far the most popular option last giveaway that I ran. In the box to the side labeled "follow by email", enter your email address. They won't spam you or anything like that.
Option 3 is to become a follower of the blog. If you are new to blogging and not sure how to do it, email me (damoncorwine@gmail.com) and I will walk you through it.
Of course, and most importantly, make sure to email me, message me on Facebook, or post a comment after you enter to win. I wouldn't want anyone to go through the trouble of entering and then not get credit for it.
Good luck to all. This will run through next Monday night. After it closes, I will have the patented Corwine random number generator pick the lucky winner. Let the fun begin...

Early Morning Lake Chickamauga

I wanted to come visit here on Saturday morning, but the clouds were non-existent, so I decided to post-pone till evening sunset picture. Well, I got rained out last night, so I got up early this morning. This place is definitely on my list of places to revisit as the seasons change this year. Can you imagine the fall colors? What about the winter mists? I am pretty stoked about it. Let me know what you think. Once again, these are  natural colors, no photoshop color changes.

Sunsets without artificial color

These are some of the first images that I have been content to let them be seen sans extensive editing. I just received the filters that I had been waiting on and they work WONDERFULLY!!!! Hope you guys like these. Should be seeing the August download in the next couple of days. Also debating what to do for the giveaway this month. Any suggestions???


Cheesy picture, but I really liked the texture of the clouds


Same here, not that great of a scene, but the clouds are great.

Almost like waves on the ocean...
