Finally got past the business end of the journey – at least for the present – and headed to Charleston to meet the first of my heretofore unknown cousins, Charles and Betty Price. I’ll make that the subject of another post since we’re all going to meet up in Louisiana later in the month but it was a great evening learning about blood kin that up until now I knew nothing about. The trip from Greensboro to Charleston was uneventful except for a bit of rain that occasionally got extremely heavy but that oddly shortened the run because it more or less eliminated opportunities to stop and take pictures. Although not entirely. I was near Darlington, SC, famous for it’s NASCAR events, when the weather broke for a period.  As i zipped along I spied a scene out the corner of my eye and made a quick u-turn to try and capture it.

Coffee houses are not only ubiquitous but very useful for business. Was able to visit both Tate Street and Green Bean this morning coordinating the launch of NyghtVision Boot Camp next weekend in Greensboro.

My first pass to get these shots was washed away in a downpour laced with lightening. I got drenched. By the time I got back to home base the situation changed and the sun came peeking out from behind black storm clouds. I went back and fired off seventy shots in about a half hour. I have been playing around with some new RAW file conversion software and decided to use these for practice. I think I may have about 20 keepers but I liked these four so here’s a preview.
