It was the last day of my trip to the Delta to hang out with a bunch of photo friends and the plan was to get checked out of the Shack Up Inn at 8 a.m. and do some more riding around and photos with my buddy. I set my alarm for 6:30 so I could have a leisurely shower and get my stuff packed and triple check the room for chargers left behind, or whatever. For some reason, I woke just before the alarm and looked out the window to see some dew on the window. I got up to look out and saw it. FOG! I texted Lowry to see if he was up and tell him about the FOG! I jumped into some clothes, brushed my teeth and grabbed my bag to head towards where his shack was. All plans to pack etc were ditched, because, you know, FOG! Lowry was up and we were on the road in no time. I wanted to get some photos of the church right across from the Inn, and we did that, then Lowry suggested we try for the swamp right up the road a bit. It was a gold mine! We did some more riding around, found some cool trees and shot them for a bit, then the fog started to lift. We both knew the photos from that morning would make the trip. I’ll let you judge.
Probably one of the most photographed trucks in Mississippi, it’s on the grounds of the Shack Up Inn. I had to work the angles to avoid capturing the newer cars parked behind it and preserve the idea this could have been shot in the 60s.So, I didn’t really love any of the church photos in the fog. This tree next to it works for me though. I liked the differing textures on the ground in front and the silhouette of the tree itself.I liked the separated tree being apart from the othersI took advantage of the reflections and the trees to create the stripes in the photo. I liked the downward slope of the trees on the left pointing to the lone tree on the rightLoved the SilhouettesSame scene as the earlier photo, just a slightly different angle. I liked the sloping line that kind of creates a triangle on the left side of the photo.Loved the shapes and reflectionsThis is what I was shooting when the truck came byThis truck was coming down the road, and I only had one chance to get this. Loved the shapesColor version of the B&W belowTwo trees separated in the fogWe were cruising by and had to stop for this scene. It reminded me of a movie scene.This looks like stage lights being set
