When I first got back into photography, I couldn't afford a camera, so I was using my cell phone to take shots. The cameras on most phones now are incredible and with all the editing apps available, you can capture beautiful images.
It's not all the camera though - there are some easy tips to follow to help elevate your photos.
A couple weeks ago I was going to be sort of in the area of my favorite overlook in the Upper Cumberland - Welch Point in Sparta, near Virgin Falls State Natural Area at sunset.
Most people love sunsets but I prefer sunrise, especially this time of year. The air is still cold, and you have to stumble through the dark to get to where you're going only to try to keep yourself warm while you wait for the sun to start peaking through. It feels raw and wild and so very alive.
