This picture was taken on a winter morning at Whitestone Country Inn in Kingston, TN.  The beautiful scene is filled with so much of what I love about East Tennessee.

Riviera Maya, Mexico

Riviera Maya, Mexico

In 2009, my wife and I traveled to Rivera Maya, Mexico for our honeymoon.  On our last day, we woke up early to catch the sunrise.  We will never forget that sunrise.  I call this one, “Heaven’s Projector”.  This is easily one of my favorite panoramic pictures.

East Tennessee Fog

I took this picture about a year and a half ago up at a cabin outside of Dandridge, TN.  It was a densely foggy morning and the sun was still dawning when I snapped this three picture photomerge.

Roan Mountain Sunset Panorama

Roan Mountain Sunset Panorama

In 2010, I started exploring the technique of stitching pictures together to create panoramas.  This was one of my first successful stitches.  Shot with a 50mm 1.8 @ an aperture of 11, overlapping each frame about 20%.  Each picture was taken in the portrait orientation.
