This Fuji X-T3 camera in RAW format is powerful 😍 it truly is amazing how many details it captures. Do you shoot in RAW or JPG?

Even in the cold windy months, it’s still beautiful on the Crystal Coast. #emeraldisle #emeraldislenc #drone #djimavic #djicreator #visitnc #northcarolina

OPTIMIST HALL! Hands down my favorite place in Charlotte to take my whole family for a meal with 💯 agreement! So many great food vendors to choose from, lots of seating, parking, and much more! So it was a ton of fun photographing the storefronts for my client @ratzlaffconstruction who did 7 of the upfits there! I may even drop a cool hype video... 🤔. Have a great Sunday everyone! I tagged all the amazing restaurants at @optimisthallclt so check them out for lunch sometime soon! . 📷: @the5and2project . #eatlocal #shoplocal #supportlocal #704 #keeppounding #cltvideographer #charlottenc #cltphotographer #qcphotographer #qcvideographer #northcharlotte #campnorthend #optimistpark #optimisthall #exploreclt #cltguide #scoopcharlotte #clt.today #thingstodoincharlotte #discoverclt #charlottesgotalot #cltiscreative #yelpclt #dji #djiphotography #cltnc #optimist #foodcourt

Soo excited for the Spring blooms to arrive this year! Lots of new and amazing places to visit and always so little time. It’s been a long Winter season this year and I do love it but I’m enjoying this Spring like weather and I never want to go back. Ready…for…some… warm…weather. Where are your travels taking you this Spring? #exploreboone #booneview #828isgreat #highcountry #blueridgemoments #visitnc #linvillegorge #springblooms #naturephotography #nature_brilliance #sunsetlovers #discovercarolinas #gameoftones #splendid_earth #earthpix
