Cary, NC, and Beyond! Water shots

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Realty Arts NC Broker License #235526
I like shooting water photos. I think it is because I love the water, and knowing it is the sustenance of all life. Of course, a little light variation makes it even more fun for the camera.

Here are a few shots I have taken around North Carolina, mostly around Wake County. Some are State, County, or Municipal Parks. And, occasionally, there are common storm water retention ponds, although to be here they have to be dressed up a little. And, there are a few from Hatteras Island tossed in for good measure. Some really touch me, and I admit, some are a little mediocre. But I can tell you where each of them was taken!

This is my Water: Lakes, Streams, Rivers, and Beaches Set from Flickr.

Melina,

Sounds like a picnic to me! 

Actually, I hadn't even thought of that.  Thanks!

I'm a fan of black and white/sepia photography. The ones of the Mill (?) on the river would be great shots in BW.  I think.

Melina, I think I need a better camera. I like great detail definition in B&W.

Wow.  Great photo shoot, Mike.  You have a wide variety of housing/commercial buildings along the lakes.  I was curious about that two story, boarded up weather beaten house on the edge of the water toward the front of the slide show(not the mill toward the end).  Will that be demolished or saved?

Bruce,

Thanks!

That old two story mill is a centerpiece at Wake County's Historic Yates Mill Park.

It has since been nicely restored.

Shot that on a winter's day visit a couple of years ago.

Mike, your state of North Carolina has many, many beautiful bodies of water.  Your slides do justice to the beauty that they emanate.

Sharon,

It would be easy to specialize in just shooting photos around water almost anywhere in North Carolina.

Beautiful photo's, Mike.  When we come to our senses (hopefully before our last brain cell freezes) we'll retire to our little spot on the water near Oriental.

Mike I truly enjoyed your photos, but most especially the old barn or mill - that is my kind of scenery

Mike - that is a really nice set of photos.  One of these days I need to take a break from working and enjoy some of the many beautiful water attractions in our area.  Thanks for sharing!
