PADUCAH, KY – Here is a small collection of the incredible drone photography by Bob Dwyer. The drone shots you see below were created from 2014 to present. The film location was mostly in the beautiful Main Street section of historic downtown Paducah, KY.

The colorful streaks area created with car lights. I got this effect by setting my exposure times around 2 to 6 seconds, my ISO at 50 and my aperture at F3.5. The editing software used was Photoshop.
You can get this effect on phones if it allows you to set exposure times. But you will need a tripod or something that can keep your phone perfectly still.
Phones will need to use the same settings as hand-held cameras as well. These settings are a good baseline to start with: Exp 2-6 sec, ISO 50-200, F3.5 or lower.
Photography Art Defined:
Known also as “photographic art”, “artistic photography” and so on, the term “fine art photography” has no universally agreed meaning or definition: rather, it refers to an imprecise category of photographs, created in accordance with the creative vision of the cameraman.

The photos below were created with normal shots, long exposures and HDR bracketing.
There were cars lined up all the way to the street for the drive thru at the time, so we decided to park and go inside. I have read so many good things about this place online I had to see it for myself and document this trip for others to see.

I ordered the Weekly Hamburger Special which was called The Black Hole Sun! It was a huge double burger with provolone cheese topped with an onion ring, smothered in sweet & spicy bbq sauce with some jalapenos and bacon added as well. The burger was the best I have ever had and It came with fries and a large pop for only $5.99.
The service provided by the staff had a personal touch to boot, something you don’t see very often – if at all. Customers were actually greeted by their first names as they walked inside.
Owner Robert and Jennifer Waller are at the helm of this old-style eatery that carries an impeccable rating of 4.8 on Google and an even more impressive 4.9 on its Facebook page.
What makes Just Hamburgers far exceed other hamburger joints? They greet their customers by name making them feel like they belong. They serve high end burgers at a price that’s literally unbeatable. Also worth mentioning is the owner and staff are the coolest guys ever.
I will definitely be back to get another weekly special at this little Gem very soon. Please try this locally-owned eatery and take part in keeping small businesses alive and well in the Paducah area.

PADUCAH, KY – Paducah’s 54th Annual Lighted Dogwood Trail has a new theme this year called ‘Light up, company is coming!’
This was our first time going through the Lighted Dogwood Trail and it was really beautiful. There were signs attached to stop signs, telephone poles and street poles that helped guide us through the wonderful streets of Paducah.
The Dogwood Trail started back in 1964 that consisted of just two blocks on Sycamore Street. Today the trail spans 11 miles from downtown Paducah to the suburbs in the west.

On Sunday, February 25, the City of Paducah declared a State of Emergency and began installing 14 out of the 23 floodgates along the Ohio River. The rest of the gates will be installed on March 2-3.
VIDEO: Early Sunday morning I was able to get some photos of the riverfront before the crews started working on the floodgates.
By midday Downtown was bustling as people gathered from all over to watch this enormous city-wide operation go like clockwork. Local 6 News was on site getting the facts while others held up cellphones to get personal footage of this historic event.

Centurion Development, owner of the 4-story bank building, plans to invest around $800,000 for renovations. The first floor is planned for commercial use.
The Loft Apartments will be located right across the street from the new Reside Apartments, Citizens Gym and FreshWater Bar. This once vacant corner was creatively renovated in 2017 and now looks beautiful.
The city did a great job keeping the roads clear downtown as you can see in the photos. Even though, many businesses were closed and some opened but closed early that day. The 24-hour McDonald’s on Hinkleville Road was closed when I drove by it around 5:30 pm as well.
The good news was that Dry Ground Brewery announced earlier that day that they would not be closing since people still drink beer when it snows. That one put a smile of my face. Loved it!
The photos below were taken on January 12, 2018 around 5:15 PM in downtown Paducah with a temp around 19 degrees.
Suzy Pointer, cofounder of the Annual BBQ on the River festival, said, “We just had an outstanding busy day today. We probably wrapped sixty Fancy Panz that are personalized and wrapped in our amazing burlap bundles. We are pumping out 22 corporate gifts in back there as well.”
This local shop is high-tech and uses all the tools needed to get the word out such as Facebook Live. They have their products online making this shop a global competitor.
This is another locally owned shop filled with wonderful people along with bbq items and gifts for all ages. And remember, you can be a part in keeping downtown vibrant and growing strong by shopping at great places like bbQ & More.
I really love the shop and all the unique gifts. It was so nice meeting everyone and I thank you all for being so kind. The jelly was delicious by the way.

The owner, Shane Lee, said, “We’ve been manufacturing clothes for about 30 years. We sell to different stores. We’re probably in 200 hospital gift shops in the country and in 75 percent of the casinos. Disney is our biggest customer.”
Shane Lee Boutique has been on Market House Square for around 11 years. There is another boutique in Murray along with the clothing factory and a fabric shop as well.
Shane Lee clothing is high-end and remarkably made. That said, put it on your must-see list for the next time you visit downtown.
You can stay updated whenever new clothes come into the shop by following facebook.com/ShaneLeeBtq.
It was an honor and pleasure meeting you, Shane. Your picture turned out nice and bright. The light in your shop worked out well.
