This page, with your help, will hopefully become a unique compilation of up-coming photo-ops, shooting opportunities/junkets, locations worth visiting around northeast Georgia and southwest North Carolina.

If you have any suggestions and, especially, if you hear or know of something, call me at 706.896.5025 or e-mail me at enigma@brmemc.net. The more input, the better it'll be everyone.

Also, IF (and only if) you want, I can add your e-address to a master list so you can be notified of new additions. If not, check back often.

Shooting Ops & Junkets:

Anytime: As soon as the trees come out, Nantahala Gorge to shoot the rapids, waterfalls, the train (which is neat), the cliffs and the old foundation. See the URL below. Pack a lunch. Call Bill Kautz at 706.896.5025 or e-mail at enigma@brmemc.net.

March 29 on: A half day field trip to Nut Shooks Junk Yard on SR 66 N between Young Harris, GA and Warne, NC, just south of the GA/NC line. Great opportunities for really unusual still-life shots. Call Bill Kautz at 706.896.5025 or e-mail at enigma@brmemc.net and we'll go.

If you don't mind it being loud, exciting, chaotic, dirty, even a little danerous if you get too close to the action - there's day-light short track racing at it's finest at Tri-County Raceway in Brasstown, NC this spring. After that, they race after sundown. I'm trying to get the schedule for when (LOL - and maybe some press/pit passes). Call Bill Kautz at 706.896.5025 or e-mail at enigma@brmemc.net if you want in on it.

Tips & Tricks


When shooting something up close in bright light and you don't want harsh shadows, use fill-flash or a reflector.
