Hopping MARTA’s Blue Line with a 35mm Lens

Posted on April 8, 2021February 19, 2024 by Allora Studios in Atlanta, GA, Street Photography, The U.S., Vlogs

This week, I decided to do some train hopping! Well… sort of. I rode the Blue line of the MARTA Train in Atlanta, hopping on and off at various stops along the way to take pictures!

This week, like last week, I wanted to challenge myself. So again, I set out with one lens, but this week? I used a 35mm f/1.8 This lens is an awesome lens that acts on my crop-sensor camera like you would expect a 50mm to act on a full-frame camera.

Along the way this week, I may have dropped a lesson or two. Thanks for watching. I can’t wait to share my pictures with you again next week!

First Photo Walk of 2021

Posted on January 28, 2021February 19, 2024 by Allora Studios in Atlanta, GA, The U.S., Vlogs

For the first photo walk (that didn’t end in sickness), I decided to try something new! I heard that some folks go for meditative walks in lieu of traditional meditation, and that sounds right up my alley! So, I set out with a goal, and got to walking and shooting!

It Ain’t Always in Your Control

Posted on January 21, 2021February 19, 2024 by Allora Studios in photography, Vlogs

This week is full of unforeseen problems. So, let’s learn to be more adaptable. I am actively working to accept the things that I cannot change in my life. I am striving daily for inner peace and seeking comfort through my passions. I have a ton of photos available for prints!

Shooting Aubrey Lake

Posted on January 16, 2021February 19, 2024 by Allora Studios in Atlanta, GA, Nature, photography, The U.S., Vlogs

This week, I found a quaint lake literally right beside the interstate on my way home. I am always looking for shots, but this day in particular, I happened to have the time to actually search for the perfect place to take my shot!

This lake, which I’ve found to be named Aubrey Lake, has mostly private access points. I show you in the video, but as it happens most times, I did not pick the right access point originally.

After finding a “No Trespassing” sign at the end of the first road to the lake, I got busy looking at Google Maps to find another way in. Fortunately, there was a brewery that had an access road to the other side of the lake. So away I drove to find the way in.

After stashing my car beside some utility buildings and climbing the rugged hills, I finally made it to the banks of Aubrey Lake. It was well worth my time. These pictures came out awesome.

Posted on December 10, 2020February 19, 2024 by Allora Studios in Animals, Atlanta, GA, Macro Photos, Nature, photography, The U.S., Vlogs

I can’t believe I even get to discuss this week’s topic. I am truly humbled by the amount that my pictures have been viewed. Anyways lets discuss the top 4 most viewed photos! And, as always, these are available for prints!

The 4th most viewed photo (over 199,000 views) is one I took a while ago of a local church around the Marietta area. I love the colors. It’s a spring photo. It was one from very early in my photography career.

The 3rd most viewed photo (over 500,000 views) is one of another local building. Planet Ink tattoo parlor was where I spent a couple of sessions shooting photos and videos a couple of years ago. It’s really cool that my photo has stayed as one of their main photos on the map for a while.

The 2nd most viewed photo (over 900,000 views) is one of seahorses at my favorite place to be: the Georgia Aquarium. Y’all know I love shooting the amazing creatures there. This picture is yet another from that first collection I made in early 2019.

The most viewed photo is this picture of the Pantheon in Rome, Italy! This picture has over 1.5 million views. The pantheon is one of my favorite structures in the world. I wrote about it in this blog!
