Nature The Great Smokie Mountains

The Great Smokie Mountains · 12:56 PM

Seems my time for photography has been limited. But I took a trip to the Great Smokie Mountains with a friend and got to dust off the camera and a couple of my least used lenses for a day of photography. Here are my highlights.

Some nice, sharp photos with great detail. Tennessee is nice, from what I've seen here.

Excellent, I'm glad you were able to see a little color before the unfortunate shutdown--I've been gnashing my teeth up here in Knoxvegas for going on two weeks now.

I'm curious, though: do you run a CPL for your foliage shots? Yours look great, so I'll definitely take some cues from you as I accessorize my K5/DA 21 outfit I'm learning about.

Great! These pictures have a very polished look to them.

Thanks for commenting. It was my first trip to the area and I'll definitely be back. Might try the spring or winter though next time.

Actually I was there just last week. The only things shut down were the visitor centers and Cades Cove area. Everything else was open. Don't wait, I suspect the colors will be peaking soon. I did have a cpl on the DA21. I was shooting at not the best times of the day but that combo did pretty well. Knoxvegas that's funny. It was my first visit to TN I'd have to say except for the traffic and glitz of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, I enjoyed my stay in TN very much.

Glad to hear you had a good time--these bluebird skies have been challenging lately, though no doubt you have your share of those in Cali.

very pleasant series to view Dice, we love that area but agree about the busy cities.
