2023 marks Jim Baugh Outdoors TV 35th year in production and distrubition

 


2023 marks 35 years! Jim Baugh Outdoors TV is about to embark on its 35th year in production. I can’t believe it! When I started, I was in my twenties, now I am 61. But a young 61! So here is just a few of the thing’s JB has done during the 3 and 1½ decades of producing the show.

Two marriages, two awesome and successful kids, I moved from Richmond to Hampton to The Eastern Shore then to Virginia Beach. Produced over 350 television shows, numerous tourism films, 1 piano concerto plus over 50 original compositions, wrote 3 books, one an Amazon Best Seller, 1 screenplay, penned over 1000 regional and national magazine columns, 2 short films, one played in 10 film festivals all over the world and gaining 4 awards in cinematography, editing, and music, as well as best experimental film.

Here is a very positive statement. In all the years we have worked with hundreds of people in order to produce the show. From Captains, mates, guides, sponsors, production crews, television executives you name it. Every person I have met has been a positive experience. Nothing negative, never. Well, there once was this bell hop in North Carolina we did not see eye to eye at all, but other than that, it has been an amazing joyful experience.

There is not that many of us left who has been around as long. We still got Hank, Jimmy, Roland, and a few others that are still rockin and for longer than we have. More power to them and keep killin it.

Not sure I will ever retire. I mean it is the greatest job in the world! I get to fish, boat, play music, and hang out in TV studios and the beach while eating lots of seafood. What is not to love!

As I write this I do find myself single and living at the beach. Never would have thought that one. But with raising my kids behind me, and the career is going well, I believe there is probably one last chapter in the female partner department. We will see.

Lastly thanks to everyone who has made Jim Baugh Outdoors TV possible for these 35 years. Especially my dad Judge Baugh who was my partner in the business for all those early years. The Judge always had the best and correct advice. RIP Judge Baugh

“Jimmy! Quit watchin the dam idiot box!”

Godspeed,

JB

First Milky Way Nightscape 2022

New Nightscape 2022: “Yes you can see the Milky Way in February”

In the Nightscape you can see a beautiful shot of Venus below the Milky Way and Mars just above the horizon to the right of Venus. Also good view of the dark horse nebula. This was one of the clearest nights I have seen in a long time, just gorgeous! It was amazing actually, and the ride back over the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel heading back to Va Beach with Venus high in the sky and the sunrise below was stunning. One heck of a way to start the day!
The location? Magothy Bay on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. This Nightscape will be up on our gallery soon so check it out.
Photo Info: Cannon 200D / SL2 Sky Tracker Pro equatorial mount, Tokina 11-16MM F2.8 ISO 400 Intervalometer Lens muff with 4 heat packs. Total exposure 12 minutes. 4 three-minute exposures stacked in DSS then lightroom and photoshop.
NOTE: This time of year the Milky Way is low to the horizon so the visibility due to so much atmosphere is not quite as good as later in the year, but its decent.
All I got to say is,
“Hello Milky Way 2022!!”
This may be the first Milky Way Photo on the Eastern Seaboard this year. Weather has been a bear for Astro, but got lucky this time.
Godspeed,
JB

There are probably many ways to remember 2021. To each his own, but at the Cape Charles Mirror, despite it all, we still feel living here on the Lower Eastern Shore is a celebration. One of the best ways to celebrate the Shore is through the lens of photographer Jim Baugh and his most beautiful nightscapes. Jim has spent many long nights under the stars all over the Shore, using nightscape photography to bridge art and science, exposing a dimension of our world we may not have had a chance to see:
