MTN Snapshots Welcomes You
Thanks for visiting my site. I am Rob Moore and have been doing photography for several years now and love the new challenges given to me in life every day. I am a veteran and support the troops totally and unconditionally. My photography is an extention of my eye and what I see so I love to pass it to the viewer.
My work is regularly viewed at the Watauga Democrat, Mountain Times, and online at various sites like GoASU. Please feel free to contact me or shoot me an email and thanks for the visit. The above image is from MerleFest 2010 of Dierks Bently and Sam Bush jamming for the fans. View more of these images here.
Thanks for visiting my site and enjoy.
Wildlife Photography - Domestic Animals
This otter looks like he's smiling but it is actually soaking up some sun. After this cold winter it is probably welcome. You can view more of these animals by traveling to Grandfather Mountain or just go to my gallery here to view these guys and the other animals at this location.
Outdoor/Scenery Photography
The mountains of western North Carolina have so much to offer the photographer and that's the top reason I have firmly planted my home in this part of the state. This year I have pledged to myself to do more hiking and going to the special places in this area to collect shots for the viewers. Please check back to see where I have been this summer.
The image above is often one that's overlooked because most everyone is looking out, or forward, while traveling on the mile high bridge atop Grandfather. As you can see it is a mile high at this point and the wind blows like you won't believe. Vist if you get the chance and see for yourself. More images can be found here of Grandfather and the Blue Ridge Parkway.
Event Photography - Sports Photography
Shooting events are a treat, especially when it includes the Harlem Globetrotters, and some are very special to the people putting them on. If you need a photographer please consider contacting me for the event. My specialties are festivals, bands and sporting events.
The Harlem Globetrotters had a great show at the Holmes Convocation Center on March 16, 2010.
Check out the images from that show.

These boys made a swft channel in the river so they could flow faster. It was also in the 90's on this 24th day of July and they were cooling off in the Wataga River and having plenty of fun.
I was so glad to get out today and see so many butterflies where I live. The past two years have been bad for them on Sugarloaf but this year–not so much. There have been Frittilaries, Skippers, Appalachain Swallowtails, Monarchs and others I don't know the names of, but are contributing. It's a welcome site for these pollinators. I have also noticed some different looking bees, other than the honey and normal bumble bees, that have sparked my interest. At any rate, it is great to see them.
Albannach played to the crowd and was one of the favorites at the Grandfather Mountain Highland Games. If you haven't seen this band it is highly recommended.
A licensed Master Falconer, Kitty Irene Carroll and Accipiter Enterprises had a great educational show at Trade Days in Trade, TN which featured several beautiful birds. In her show Birds of the Gauntlet™, Kitty allows many of her birds to fly freely, demonstrating their speed and skill while she presents a brief history of falconry and background information on each of their varied species of birds. This image was one of the hawks she lets out to show their flight. They did come back. You can see more about this neat show at www.birdsofprey.net/gauntlet.htm.
See more of these birds at my gallery here.
Congratulations to all who participated in BSG 2010 for the Red Cross. There was over a thousand cyclists riding the coarses of the 50 miler or the 100 miler. I was on Snake Mountain shooting the riders as they came up the mountain. You can check my gallery out at BSG 2010 on Smugmug.
