"WOW! Now thats a big camera. By the way, how many megapixels is that thing?"
^ Really nice image John of a beautiful scene.
Just after Christmas I was invited to photograph at a beautiful property in Ocean Springs, MS. This piece of property is rumored to be the true original landing place of D'Iberville, the French adventurer who built a fort in the area on his first quest to find the mouth of the Mississippi River. Apparently historical records mention a rise along the water where they landed, and the current house indeed sits on a rise that, for the area, towers above everything else (and is just about 1.5 miles from Fort Maurepas which was built by D'Iberville to garrison French troops). If this was the place where he originally landed, this oak likely grew near the banks during that time:
The home here is now about 100 years old, and is significant to the area. Out front are camellia bushes original to the house. I took one photo of a flower here:
I am lucky to have gotten the chance to photograph here and may be able to return in the future with my LF or ULF cameras to further document the area.
