Scouting at Lake Jackson

You will have to forgive me because this post has nothing to do with people. A few evenings ago I was scouting a location for an upcoming photo shoot (which will involve photographing a person on location, I promise). I had already scouted a half dozen locations, none of which were really working for me. This particular evening I headed to Lake Jackson, which is on the north side of Tallahassee, Florida. I had been to this particular spot but really didn’t think it would be ideal for this shoot. I was wrong.This spot had water that was the right depth, it had some nice vegetation to work with, and best of all, it had a great view of sunset. In fact, the sunset was so amazing that evening, I was kicking myself for not scheduling the shoot then! Here’s a few shots I took on my iPhone while wading around and checking out the angles.
Yay…You updated your site! Getting photos like this, on an iPhone, shows the level of you possess. You are a truly talent photographer.
Thanks, Amy!
Beautiful shots. Keep up the good work —
I agree with Amy. Those shots you took with your iPhone are amazing!!
Lake Jackson is one of about eighty something aquatic preserves in Florida. It is a jewel of an ecosystem.
I enjoyed your documentary on how you took the lady and the looney (just jesting) in the swamp. Quite an imaginative set up and shot.
Thanks, Jerry! The iPhone 4 camera works great as long as it isn’t low light or action. I wish it allowed for manual control over the settings but as a P&S I always have on me, anyway, I can’t complain.
Beautiful.. Sunsets are amazing… I just love that time of the evening…. I am also impressed at the iphone photos… the dragonfly mostly! I can hardly get those with a regular camera and you got it with your iphone! Fantastic!! I must say the phone companies sure got something right with the phones on these cameras! I have a Kin TwoM and it has a 10 megapix camera!! not great on zoom or action.. or low light BUT 10 Megapix in my pocket?! I don’t care what other features it had I was sold! LOL to have a ‘camera’ with me everwhere… not thats modern tec working for us LOL Keep up the great work with the pics!
