Kathy & I spent last weekend in Asheville, NC celebrating our 40th anniversary. While the weekend was mostly about celebration, we did manage to do more than just eat and drink – I took a few (hundred) photos. About 770, actually!



I did something a little bit different (for me) this time, taking only my X-T4 and 3 prime lenses – the 14mm f2.8, 23mm f1.4 and the 35mm f1.4. Before heading out the door I would decide which lens to take, then “see” at that focal length during our outing. I love doing that, as it is a good exercise in visualizing a scene then adjusting with my feet as needed. I mostly stuck with the 23 and 35 except for our visit to Biltmore House, where I used the 14 and which I will detail in a future post or two.




I’m still trying to get through the rest of my photos from our Northwest road trip, so before I spend too much more time with these Asheville photos I’m going to try and get the Northwest photos done first. So expect a little bouncing around the country as I get through the rest of my Northwest photos.




Some really great photographs here Tom. The shadows in the first, the Queen one, and some really interesting shadows in some of the others. Looks like a great day of exploring.
Thank you, Mark. There was a lot to see, and a lot to photograph!
Shadows!!! Love it! Favorite one is the stoplight shadow across the building. You nailed that one for me.
Yes, I was pretty happy to get that shot. I also have one with no people in it, but the people make it, I think.
