Louisiana Landscape Photography

One of the things I enjoy the most about traveling across Louisiana is landscape photography. And creating TV feature stories has given me the opportunity to photograph some of the most beautiful scenery of the Bayou State. I especially enjoy the stunning light of sunrise and sunset.

I have discovered places that are dark enough to capture brilliant images of the stars and the milky way. On a clear, moonless night, you can sometimes witness the spectacular drama of the stars above our Louisiana landscapes. I’ve captured a shooting star streaking through the sky of the Kisatchie National Forest. And in Plaquemines Parish, the milky way floats above the dying remains of a grove of oak trees.

          Nice shot of Lake Martin. I need to get down there sometime. I’m a hobbyist landscape photographer in central Louisiana and am always looking for subject matter.
