White Point Light

Late Afternoon Light, White Point Gardens, Charleston, SC  © Doug Hickok


White Point Gardens on The Battery is a pleasant place to sightsee or simply find a place to sit and while away the hours. Light from late afternoon sun glances across the grassy grounds where outdoor weddings take place beneath the 19th century gazebo. Among other highlights, Charleston has also become one of the top wedding destinations in the U.S.

For your weekend pleasure, I'll end today's post by shedding some light on these fun photography links. Hope you enjoy!

A National Geographic photographer demonstrates how to use available light in a variety of situations.

See phenomenal images of the recent spike in arctic aurora activity.

Check out the editing process of Magnum photographers and see how a handful of great images were selected from their contact sheets.

  11. That is some beautiful light you have captured. And wonderful colours. I really like the way you framed the picture with the sunlight streaming in just outside of the left edge and the pavilion as a counterbalance to the right. Great work!

  17. The light is wonderful on this view! I like the composition too, with the complex network of branches at the top, and the plane surface of the grass in the foreground. Nicely done.
    Have a nice day.
