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.
