WELCOME TO THE STORY TELLER

Reelfoot Lake is a great place for photography. There are an abundance of wildlife, birds, flowers, that make photographing a rewarding and fun experience. You can capture some amazing photographs on shore, however if you really want to get into some great areas for birds such as Egrets, Blue Herons, Osprey, etc. you have to have a boat.

Reelfoot Lake is a shallow natural lake located in the northwest portion of Tennessee, United States of America. Reelfoot Lake is noted for its bald cypress trees and its nesting pairs of bald eagles. It is the site of Reelfoot Lake State Park. Lake Isom, a similar, smaller lake to the immediate south, is a National Wildlife Refuge area.

This photograph was taken right on shore at sunrise. The pier and cypress trees make for great composition in framing your photograph.The photograph below was also taken on shore about 100 yards from the above Reelfoot Lake photograph.

Occasionally you’ll be able to catch an Egret fishing. This Egret found his fishing hole and allowed us to get this close without flying away. He stayed there for several minutes.

Another great spot for photographing on land is the boardwalk. You can capture dragonflies like the one below, birds such as Egrets, and Blue Heron’s. There is an occasional turtle, and always some kind of flowers depending on the time of year.

Here’s a great example of a Blue Heron flying by while I was out on the boat in the morning. If you like photographing nature and wildlife, Reelfoot Lake is a great place to go for a weekend of photography.

If Reelfoot Lake is something you’d like to put on your list of things to do and photograph. We have a great opportunity for you and a friend to join us. I’ll be conducting a Photography Workshop at Reelfoot Lake at the end of June. We are limiting this to a small group of 12, it will be hands on.

We’ll enjoy sunrise and sunset photography. The highlight will be getting on a boat that I have reserved (Pontoon) for 1/2 the day out on the lake photographing the various birds and wildlife. Come grab a friend and join us for this photographic experience.
