Pine Mountain, GA

Travel Guide

You know how you buy a lens and you think to yourself, "Self, this is going to completely revolutionize my photography!" Then you use the lens, like the shots you get, but then the lens goes back in the bag and you don't pull it out again. You get stuck, using the same angles, the same compositions, the same images. Maybe not you, but that happened to me. This series was all taken with a 100mm macro. It was the first lens I purchased (after the kit lens if you count that). I loved that lens, but honestly I haven't used it in years. Now, this subject needs a close shot so a macro lens makes sense, but I had forgotten how you can really create a scene, tell a story, and capture depth with this lens. I composited some shots to pull more depth, but this day was more about me rediscovering my love for minimal depth and lost lenses. Since this day I have left the macro on the lens and intentionally forced myself to think how to use it rather than switching back to the Swiss Army style lenses. Try a different angle, a different depth of focus, or a different lens. It may just make you smile inside.

I thought this little guy's proboscis was really cool looking. I also got the eyes! It was such a great model for me. After I was done it flew around me a few times and then landed again; I guess it wanted another shot.
GreT relaxing spot to look at pine mountain and its surroundings.
I think I took too many photos this day.

We didn't really stay long enough to view everything, but my main impression was eh, I've seen nicer places.

Oyster house restaurant was great and we did some shopping and everyone in all the small shops were very friendly.

Cute, small town that’s growing. Half an hour North of Columbus, GA puts you in a whole different world. Callaway Gardens nature, the Birds of Prey exhibit, and the Butterfly House stoke a love of nature in an accessible way.

Pine Mountain is a quaint small town located in a mountainous area south of Atlanta. Roosevelt State Park is there with a great campground, lake and walking trail. F.D.R.’s Warm Springs home is nearby and open to the public for a fee.

Cities near Pine Mountain

Called the "Little White House" due to the fact that President Franklin D. Roosevelt spent quite a bit of time here. The nearby Warm Springs brought some relief to the pain he endured due to polio. It was in this house that he died on April 12, 1945, shortly after having been elected President of the United States for his fourth term.
