Love those cool late summer/early autumn mornings when everything is covered in dew. I think this is New England aster. #aster #deweywildflower #wildflowers #dew #morningdewdrops #dewdrops

I first learned about the broken specter phenomenon from Galen Rowell back in the 1980s and was fascinated by it. A shadow of the viewer surrounded by a glory. Wow! It can only occur when the viewer is in sunlight, but the distance is in cloud or fog. The sun, viewer, and cloud must form a straight line. Typically, the viewer must be at a high elevation looking down, such as in an airplane or on a mountain top. Many people have witnessed the phenomenon from an airplane window, with the airplane shadow encircled by the glory. In all my travels, I've only seen it less than a half-dozen times, despite searching it out with Galen Rowell enthusiasm. Only this one was suitable for a photo. It occurred at a high overlook of Linville Falls along the Blue Ridge Parkway. The morning fog cleared at the overlook, while just enough remained in the canyon below. There isn't enough fog for the glory to make a full circle and my head is not defined, but I like the way my legs and the tripod legs show.

The International Space Station flies over Charles Frazier's Cold Mountain in North Carolina's Pisgah National Forest in this late twilight view from the fire tower on Fryingpan Mountain. The moon shines brightly and Orion and Sirius help light up the sky. To capture the ISS, I had to shoot multiple exposures and stack them, then select out the ISS streak and paste it back onto just one of the frames. The result represents the scene exactly as I saw it. #iss #internationalspacestation #moon #coldmountain #pisgahnationalforest #fryingpanmountain #nightphotography #astrophotography #twilightscapes #orion #sirius

Indications are that the fireflies will be flashing early this year in the southern Appalachians. We've already started seeing a few in our yard, a good 2 weeks earlier than normal. Seeing these little beetles every year turns me into a kid again. My annual firefly photo tour in the Smokies is coming up in early June, but it always fills up soon after registration opens. I'll be opening registration for the 2020 event soon. Check kadamsphoto.com. While you're there, sign up for my free newsletter and I'll let you know when 2020 Fabulous Fireflies in the Smokies Photo Tour is posted. #firefly #fireflies #firefliestour #chasingfireflies #lightningbugs #lightningbug #synchronousfireflies #nightphotography #beetles

I'm fortunate that the Blue Ridge Parkway is in my backyard. Spring is a favorite time to drive the road. The parkway signs warning you to avoid the road when it's foggy crack me up. That's precisely when I want to be there! You don't get the long-distant views, but the intimate forest scenes are superb. Here, the fog creates an ethereal backdrop for the wild azalea, subduing the otherwise busy scene.

Another shot of my favorite tent in Yellowknife! Read an article recently where the author complained that the photos she had seen of the northern lights did not match the reality of what she saw in person. She said it was false advertising. She should have been with me on this photo tour. I promise you, the view in person was just as good as this photo. More so, since in person you get to experience it with all of your senses. #yellowknife #auroraborealis #aurora #northernlights #icefishing #snowshoes #tepee #northwestterritories

First-time participants on my aurora borealis photo tours are surprised when the fly into Canada's Yellowknife and see that it's actually a small city instead of the tiny outpost they expect to find at this high latitude. This twilight view of the city is from Bush Pilot's Monument in Old Town. I shot 5 exposures and stacked them to increase the length of the light trails. #yellowknife #northwestterritories #twilightphotography #bluehourphotography #cityscape #lighttrails #lighttrailsphotography #bushpilotsmonument #skylines
