entry description
I captured these images on a cold November morning in the Louisiana bayou. It took about one mile of paddling in a kayak with a headlamp before dawn to reach this area of the cypress swamp. Once there, it was shallow enough for me to place my tripod in the water as I moved to different areas and use longer exposures in the low light.about the photographer
Jim began exploring photography in 2007 as entertainment on weekends during long business trips to Europe and Asia. Jim ventured deeper into photography after retiring and continues to hone his craft on the local area's scenic vistas and through an active travel schedule. Jim’s priority is collecting images from around the world, intended to stir awareness and offer glimpses of elements in nature and distant cultures that are rapidly changing, and in some cases at risk of disappearing entirely.back to gallery
