IOP Marina
I'm sure you've figured this out by now but I love hanging out at the Isle of Palms Marina! If anybody is going to have a boat/yacht at the marina this summer and wants to go out on the water for some sweet drone photographs/videos, let me know!
This particular night was perfect. Based on the clouds, they may have been having a rougher time in downtown Charleston but it was beautiful out on Isle of Palms. The gold and fire sunset was the icing on the cake and a great way to begin the evening!
Thanks to everybody who has been enjoying, liking and retweeting my photographs. I really appreciate your support and it's great to know that they're making people happy!
If you've ever wanted to give the drone life a shot, now is a great time! The model that I have and recommend — the DJI Phantom 3 Professional — is currently on sale $260 off. You can buy it here for less than $1,000! After you do, check out my gear page to get the low-down on all of the accessories!
Marsh at Dusk
Two days ago, I posted a photo of my drone returning from taking some sunset shots over Figure Eight Island. Here's one of the photos that the drone brought back from that excursion. I love the way the low light ignites each individual marsh reed like it's a painting.

Chew Mail Pouch
There were once 20,000 Mail Pouch Barns spread across 22 states. Farmers received $20-$40 (in today's dollars) to allow Mail Pouch to use the side of their barns as advertisements. While that wasn't much cash, they also agreed to paint the other three sides of the barn any color the farmer wanted as part of the deal. One less thing for the farmer to worry about and $40 bucks in their pocket wasn't such a bad deal! And it was a steal for Mail Pouch Chewing Tobacco.
The advertising scheme was suspended in 1992 when the lead barn painter, Harley Warrick retired. I imagine it probably got pretty hard to find fresh canvasses, too, as ADM and Monsanto were well on their way to gobbling most of America's family farms.

My Drone Wanted a Selfie
We had a pretty epic sunset on Figure Eight Island, looking out over the Intracoastal Waterway. We had our cameras, tripods, phones and drones out capturing the moment and I realized that I'm always so busy taking pictures with my drone that I never actually take pictures of my drone. So here you have it, Drone Selfie at Sunset.

Rising from the Ashes
This is the backside of Charlotte's Savona Mill. The western-most point of Charlotte's greenway ends right in front of this building.
Savona Mill is also the home of Blue Blaze Brewing, slated to open up in a few months right where the greenway currently ends. Make sure you sign up for the grand opening guest list!

It doesn't get much better than Diamond Peak on an SPF 100 kind of day!

Sunday Afternoon in the Park
Happy Valentines Day!
The Eiffel Tower seems like an appropriate photo to celebrate the occasion. Cheers to anybody fortunate enough to be opening up a bottle of wine and a picnic basket in this park today!

Last Light Over Boneyard Beach
Boneyard Beach is named for the driftwood that is pulled in on the tide and deposited on the beach to be bleached bone white by the sun, salt and sand. It's a quick 30-minute excursion from Isle of Palms Marina and well worth the trip. The island really lights up as the sun sets, drawing long shadows on the "bones" that litter the beach.
