This website was developed by Mike Covington and Stephen Ham. Mike and Stephen met through a real estate transaction and have since become good friends. Both are self-taught photographers and have the same interests in nature and scenic photography. We decided to make our photos available to the public through this website in an effort to illustrate the natural beauty of the wildlife and landscapes in the Low Country areas of South Carolina.

Stephen is a native of South Carolina and grew up in Florence but later moved to New Jersey to pursue a career in manufacturing. He returned to South Carolina in 2004 and settled in Murrells Inlet. Mike grew up in North Carolina with most of his career in the air lines and technology sector. Mike was always interested in photography and since moving to Pawleys Island in 2006 can now explore the many photographic opportunities in the area.

Many of our photos were taken in and around Huntington Beach State Park in Murrells Inlet, SC. The wide variety of migratory birds that move through this area every year offer photographers many opportunities to get that once in a lifetime shot. The alligators are interesting subjects as well, especially when dining on crabs. At certain times of the year, the sunrises and sunsets can be extreme.

The more time we spend outdoors, really watching the sights and listening to the sounds of nature, the better we begin to understand how fragile our environment is and how important it is to protect it for future generations.
