A Moment in Nature, Week 7 - Lake Sunset

A Moment in Nature, Week 7-Lake Sunset from Wild Angle Media on Vimeo.

"A Moment in Nature" is a series of short films documenting peace and beauty in our natural world. I decided to poke through the archives of video clips I'd accumulated over the past several years and turn them into moment long reflections of experiences in nature. These shorts are designed to promote conservation of our wild lands here in Appalachia, as well as inspire folks to spend a little time in the great American outdoors. I will post one video in this series each week for the next ten weeks, ending on Earth Day, 2015. -Jon Reaves-Photographer, Filmmaker, Environmentalist

Blue Jay Feather with Dew Drops

I spent some time shooting 35mm film at Roaring Creek yesterday. I'm excited to send the film off to the lab (because it's the '90s right?) and see how the one roll of Ektar 100 turns out. On the way back to Ashe County, I stopped for a hike around Price Lake via the Blue Ridge Parkway. Shortly off the main trail, I discovered dozens of blue jay feathers scattered about the forest floor. I assume the bird was taken by a stealthy mink, or maybe larger bird. I took a quick shot with my point and shoot (a Canon G15, incase you're wondering). I'll post images from the creek when the film comes back, thanks for viewing!
