Church with a View

My town has a church where I had the pleasure of walking through the doors. Now this is a modern-day church and in a time where we are building a big mega church, this is really not that. It is a modern look with real taste and not just a square box.

So you would think it would stop that but when you walk into the sanctuary of the church you are faced with floor-to-ceiling windows looking at the woods behind the church. Now being the outdoorsy person that I am, this warmed my heart.

Inside View

In a time we try to build a thing that takes away our woods and nature, it is good to see someone trying to not only blend in but show off instead of taking away.

The Best Scenic Drives in Land Between the Lakes: A YouTube Playlist Journey

Land Between the Lakes (LBL) is a beautiful area that spans more than 170,000 acres of forested land and more than 300 miles of shoreline. It’s located in Western Kentucky and Tennessee and offers a wide range of outdoor activities to visitors. One popular activity that you can enjoy at LBL is off-roading. You can drive on the forest service roads that wind through the area and explore the beautiful natural surroundings.

If you’re planning a trip to LBL and want to learn more about off-roading in the area, YouTube is a great resource to use. There are many videos available that showcase the different trails and routes that you can take. You may even find a playlist that someone has created specifically for off-roading in LBL.

When you’re off-roading in LBL, it’s important to be respectful of the environment. Stick to designated trails and roads, and avoid driving over vegetation or disturbing wildlife. Also, be sure to follow all posted rules and regulations, including speed limits and parking restrictions. By being a responsible off-roader, you can help preserve the beauty of LBL for future generations to enjoy.

MTO Productions, Wait What

  So in May of 2023 I decided to launch another YouTube Channel, yeah that’s right I don’t have enough to do these days why not add something else to my plate. So you may be asking what the hell is MTO Productions, the answer is simple. MTO Production is what I call it when filming or shooting photography for the other channel. So I use this channel to talk about the equipment and techniques. Now you also have to know I am 100% trained by the highest institution in the world, YouTube, and well with lots and lots of trial and error.

  So below I am going to drop a couple of videos from that channel and will start uploading them here when they come out. The upload schedule on that channel is every other week and not weekly. Gives me more time to work on those videos and help explain my madness. So yeah that is MTO Productions in a nutshell. So I hope you follow along. Till next time see you later.

Year End Rewind

Take a look at our rewind of 2023. What a year and all the cool trips we took. Get ready for a whole new year and more adventures.

Going Wide Angle!!!

That’s right all, I am going wide angle lens with the 5D Mark ii. Hopped on KEH to look for a 200-dollar or less lens and found the Canon 20-35mm F/3.5-4.5 USM EF Mount Lens in excellent condition. Boy howdy was this thing clean as hell, looked almost like new. So I tossed it on the 5D the day after I received it and took the shots below. The first two shots were shot at 20mm.

20mm

The next shot was at 35mm.

35mm

So going into 2024 I will be shooting some cool super wide angle shots and amazing landscape shots. So thanks to Ashley at KEH for suggesting the lens hits the spot.
