Whiteoak Canyon, Shenandoah National Park

Well, I’ve done it again. I’ve been so busy that I have not posted to the blog in weeks. I do apologize and I can only promise that it will get better. My Blue Ridge book project is coming down to the wire and I’m just doing all I can to fill in those areas that I’m missing but feel that they need to be represented. Please bear with me, I have about six weeks before the shooting is finished and the design phase really gets cooking. Anyway, I have a little time tonight and I thought that I would post some of my new images taken over the past few weeks. These are from my trip to Whiteoak Canyon in the Shenandoah National Park.

Thanks so much for stopping by for a visit! Feel free to comment and enjoy the photographs.

Hey all! I’ve just finished updating my website with new workshop listings as well as private one-on-one, and small group instruction. I’ve also included information on book/calendar publishing instruction and consulting services. Most of all, the site has been redesigned and I’m am working with a PhotoShelter stock site. Customers now have the ability to download high-resolution files straight from the site with no waiting.   Stop by for a look! www.jerrygreerphotography.com

Goodbye Winter!

Well, it has been a while since I’ve posted to my blog and please accept my apologies for my negligence. It has been a very busy few months with all of the new books and calendars that we are releasing at Mountain Trail Press. Also, having a 13-month old little girl takes a lot of my free time. So, with this post I thought that I would post a few of my favorite winter images that I’ve taken over these cold months. Let me know what you like or dislike about the images. Thanks in advance for your responses.

This photograph was taken in the Cherokee National Forest during one our best snowstorms of the season. I wish that we could’ve had a few more inches and a few extra days to shoot it. This next image is the same area, I’m enamored with the winter beech leaves!

How about another!

Coming to a bookstore near you!

Hey everyone, I’m in the last few months before my new book project goes to press. Today I just finalized the design for the cover, though I have plenty of time to make small changes if needed. It took me all day to decide on a design that I was truly happy with. Normally I would keep this under my hat until it was off to the printer but this is a huge project and there’s no stopping now! My friend and environmental writer, Charles Maynard, is working on the essays that will accompany my photographs. Our new book will be a 10″ x 12.25″ “portrait format” hardcover and will be $39.95 retail. The page count will be in the vicinity of about 190, with about 160 images. I’ll be posting updates as the design process moves along. For now, I thought that I would post the preliminary cover design for all to review. Let me know what you think!

 

Urban sprawl and development of farmland into subdivisions

I’m working on an assignment for a client on urban sprawl, including the development of farmland into subdivisions. I’m also looking at city infill projects and good development within the city limits. Here are a few of the images that I have so far. If you’d like to discuss these photos feel free to post. I’ll be working on this project for the next few weeks.

Oxeye daisy #1, Brasstown Bald, GA

Hey all! Yes, I’ve been busting my a#* again with two book projects and now they’re at the printers so I’ve got a little time to post an image or two. Back weeks ago I posted a few images of my north Georgia trip back in June and here’s another. I shot this with my little Canon Powershot G9. I really love this camera for shooting images such as these. Tack sharp and handheld!

Back from a quick trip to Cades Cove in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park!

I’ll write a little later but I wanted to post a few photos from my trip.

Fawn at play, Shenandoah National Park, Virginia

I took a few minutes away from book design to process a couple of photos from my recent trip to the Shenandoah NP. What a wonderful couple of days photographing the fawns and deer at play. I’ll post more after I get through this upcoming deadline.

Turkey beard and meadow, Shenandoah National Park, Virginia

Well, I went to photograph the fawns but I couldn’t resist the temptations to shoot a few landscapes! This was a beautiful scene with the prolific bloom of turkey beard accented by ferns and mountain grasses.

Fawns, Shenandoah National Park, Virginia

I’ve just returned from a quick trip to Shenandoah National Park to photograph the fawns. I’ll post more tomorrow when I get the images processed. Here’s one of my favorites!

Canon EOS 5D, Sigma 80-400 EX OS lens at 400mm (this is the first time that I’ve really shot my 80-400 since getting it back from Sigma. There was a problem with the focus and it’s now fixed! Very Sharp!!!)
