 Smoky Mountain Colors

This year my fall trip to The Great Smoky Mountains National Park was a mixture of fun and photography! The weather was excellent unlike last year when fog took over for just about the whole trip and made for some blah colors. This year with the help of mother nature the colors were top notch and the air was clear for me to capture them. There are so many beautiful spots in the park that I have a hard time picking spots to photograph. I took this one on the Roaring Fork Motor Trail which I found to be full of spots including waterfalls, old structures and houses and of course the beautiful water. My personal favorite spot to stay during my journey is Wilderness at the Smokies, which combines a water park, golf courses and indoor fun center.

Around The Pier

Photo Share – Around The Pier

The sunrise wasn’t as awesome this morning as I had hoped, so I changed things up by using a B+W 10 stop ND filter. It’s amazing how a 30 second exposure can totally change the look and feel of a photograph! This one is pretty similar to one I shot last year at Sunset Beach in North Carolina, but I’m liking this one a little better. However both of them have been awarded 🙂  http://www.viewbug.com/photo/3948351

Deep Within Fort Pulaski

 

Here’s a photograph I took giving you a look inside the fort walls, this is looking down the hall into one of the quarters. As you can tell there is a door made of bars, I’m not sure if this was for protection or to lock up the captured soldiers. This national monument is a cool place to visit, with the huge cannons and remarkably old structure which has seen many battles and still looks amazing! If you’re ever in Savannah Georgia I recommend you check it out!

Shine On!

Shine On! HDR + Topaz Clarity

Today’s photograph takes us back to my trip to Georgia a few weeks back, this sunset was one of the best during the trip and I took many shots from different angles and compositions.  I decided to edit this one last night using Photomatix, Photoshop and Topaz Labs plug-ins. First I took the 5 exposures from my Canon 6D  and ran them through Photomatix then, imported them to Photoshop and used Topaz Clarity to enhance the overall contrast. Next I used Topaz Detail to bring out a little bit more of the details in the image this was mostly seen in the sun rays. After that I used Topaz adjust to make minor adjustments to the color by starting with a preset then dialing it down just a bit.

Let me know what you think!
