Glowing Sunset | Croatan National Forest
The last few days, the clouds at sunset have just been phenomenal and I haven’t been able to resist heading out to shoot the sunset now for four nights in a row. This particular evening was no exception as I headed down to the banks of the Neuse River at Flanner’s Beach in the Croatan Forest. I took a variety of shots, both from the shore and knee deep in the water. This is one of the first shots I got while at the scene. The billowing clouds opposite of the sun were lit up bright orange as the sun shifted toward the horizon. I had a late start hitting the road and I barely got to my spot in time for sunset, but I had a hunch that if I drove the extra miles, I’d be treated to an awesome scene. Sometimes you just have to play the hunch.
Standing Alone | Croatan National Forest
This tree, standing alone in a salt marsh, really caught my eye during a recent hike. The cloud that seems to perfectly line up behind the tree may have been what made me notice it so well. I shot this with a wide angle down low to really stretch out the grass that was bent over.
Flanner’s Beach, along the Neuse River in the Croatan National Forest. Awesome place and it has a little bit of everything!
