PHOTOGRAPHY

I’ve always been interested in photography as far back as high school when I taught myself how to use manual settings for aperture, shutter speed, etcetera– there was something special about creating with film cameras before digital became mainstream; shooting one frame at a time and then developing the film and processing the images in the darkroom.
Shooting professional photos is an art form that takes time, effort, patience, creativity – and most importantly – skill.
Different types of photography require a variety in the equipment you use and it’s exciting to switch up the camera and lens type to create the image I want.
I shoot with three different cameras. Nikon D500, Nikon D300, and a Smartphone.
My favorite lenses are telephoto 200-500mm for nature shots or anything too far away, wide angle lens 10-20mm for interior photography (useful in HDR), 35mm or my 18-200mm is my go to for street photography. When capturing every detail I use a Micro 85mm.
My Photography Journal
It would be great if I were to get into the habit of posting more photography. The truth is, I shoot so often… on mostly a tight deadline. That I rarely find that extra time to sort though and pull out those unquie photos that I capture day-to-day.
Living on a farm (in the middle of rural smokey mountains) we get foggy mountain morning. There are my pet Rooster photos (he is my boy), flowers, food, and a little bit of everything else.

Kite Flyer
Kite Flyer Photography by Gary CrosseyTHE KITE FLYER - is one of my favorite photos. Everything about this photo feels good to me. If I were to have planned this photograph, I could not have staged it any better. The yellow shorts against the dark sky is so prefect.
Nightlight Photography
I am not typically a sun person. So, I especially enjoy going to the beach at night. It always surprises me how few people go on a beach at night. The entire beach is normally quite empty. The light on the beach at night is also quite usual. Unlike a few hundred feet...
Spring Bloom
It's hard for me to pass a nice bloom without pulling my camera out. My walks in West Asheville at the start of Spring were filled with blooming crocus.
