PADUCAH, KY – Photography Art Paducah 2017/2018… this is a small collection of photographs taken in 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.
PADUCAH, KY – A small group of people in March of 2018 explored the old Illinois Central Railway Hospital (aka Katterjohn) building and found pentagrams painted on the wall with a dead, decomposed cat nearby on the floor.

PADUCAH, KY – Just Hamburgers serves the biggest-bang-for-your-buck burgers in Kentucky located on Jackson Street in the City of Paducah.
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.

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.
