Miller Lake Mechanical Branch

April 17, 2025May 24, 2025thevalleyeyephotography

Over the last month I’ve had the opportunity to document the Miller Lake Mechanical Branch in Halifax County. It has been a pleasure to meet with many great employees, learn a lot about the branch and the different occupations that are available on site. Thank you to everyone who welcomed me with open arms. Special […]

Family of Foxes

April 15, 2025May 24, 2025thevalleyeyephotography

It was an extremely long day to say the least. After finally getting settled at home, I am beyond ready to hit the hay, ready for the next adventure tomorrow. I couldn’t wait to share one out of hundreds of photos I snapped this evening. After spending roughly 6 hours at a den this morning […]

Pheasants – Photography

April 15, 2025May 10, 2025thevalleyeyephotography

Pheasants are birds that can be quite hard to capture. Normally spotted on the ground and blending in with the landscape, they prefer to run when startled. They can fly fast for short distances, with flight speeds of 38 to 48 mph and also reaching upwards of 60 mph when being chased. Pheasants spend almost […]

Family Fox Den – Kings County

April 13, 2025May 10, 2025thevalleyeyephotography

Lots of time and patience just to get a small array of photos from this family fox den. With 12 plus hours accumulated in two days here’s a few shots from this busy home! I haven’t been able to pin point exactly how many kits there are but I believe there may be 4-6 healthy […]

Sunset From Margaretsville

After another busy day, it was refreshing to cap the day off with a sunset from Margaretsville. It was certainly chilly over on the shore, but worth these stunning captures. Adrian J.

Snowfall – Macro Photography

April 9, 2025May 10, 2025thevalleyeyephotography

It’s pretty remarkable to see the details you can get from starting out so far from a subject and then closing in on it. After some snowfall overnight I spent sometime focusing in on the accumulation on tree needles. Adrian J.

Spring

April 7, 2025May 9, 2025thevalleyeyephotography

It almost seems to good to be true seeing the first signs of spring around the corner. Snow is expected to impact much of the region this evening into tomorrow. Fuzzy nubs tend to appear from the branches of Pussy Willows near the tail end of winter. The soft coating of hairs acts as insulation […]

With lots of anticipation for the partial solar eclipse at sunrise today, it wasn’t looking promising. Thankfully the clouds were cooperating in Kingsport this morning! A partial solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby partly obscuring the image of the Sun for a viewer on Earth. The partial solar […]

Spring Around The Corner

March 28, 2025May 5, 2025thevalleyeyephotography

I’ve been wanting to get into Macro Photography for sometime. Photography in general requires a certain skill to master, patience and the eye for detail, including money 🙄 Entering this new world of art brings insects, objects and other small details you don’t see with the naked eye. Attached are various close up photos from […]

Freezing Rain – Marco Shots

March 24, 2025May 2, 2025thevalleyeyephotography

Some macro shots of freezing rain sitting on the hood of my truck earlier tonight. These particular shots are close up, smaller than the size of a tick. Making for a unique perspective and stunning detail beyond the naked eye. Adrian J.
