I love the drone, but I don't get it out as much as I should... I'm glad I did for this shot as the river was fairly deep here!

Gotta love the color scene in front of you that you know will look better in B&W... And with the wide angle, it screamed "Crop me to 65x24"!

This window truly captures the artist who owned the studio I was standing in.

Over the past weekend, I attended a photography workshop by Nancy Merkling that was focused on the covered bridges in Parke County, IN. If this was any indication of her other workshops, I highly recommend them for any photographers looking to capture some cool places, and get some tips/tricks along the way. Not to mention some great food and company!

Being my first workshop, it was super cool getting the opportunity to shoot, talk, and collaborate with other photographers, in addition to getting some guidance from Nancy.

The mornings were early, but totally worth it seeing these covered bridges bathed in moonlight through the hazy clouds and thick forest!

Everyone knows I'm a sucker for B/W, so even though there was a lot of color in the trees, I decided my first edit needed to be mono.

Many thanks to Nancy and team for the great weekend of photography!

More to come in the coming weeks...
