Last week, I told you about Nancy Poole and I having to reroute our drive back home from the photography conference in Myrtle Beach due to the landslide on I-40. What started out as a disaster (having to find a new route) ended up being a really AWESOME photo opportunity! I eluded to the fact that I took some really lovely images along the way across the mountains in my post last week, so I wanted to quickly share a few of my favorites.
Most of these were taken on our little detour to Clingman’s Dome…
I thought the contrast of the yellow and orange foliage against the stark white bark of the bare trees was really eye catching!
I borrowed Nancy’s “fisheye” lens for this image. That is why the ground looks curved. A really fun effect!!
This next series of images are my first few attempts at doing this type of landscape panoramic. It was a lot of fun to experiment with the technique! I hope they give you an idea of just how lovely the scenery was. EVERYONE should see this at least once in their life!
This one little valley was absolutely VIBRANT!
Of all the images I captured, I think this is my favorite! This was taken in the parking lot at Clingman’s Dome (we didn’t even walk up to the actual dome!)
I’ll be home from my FINAL road trip of the year tomorrow. After all my “jet-setting” this month, spending the last week relaxing on the beach with my family has been the perfect ending to a month of fun. I’ve got some lovely images from the Gulf Coast to share once I get things settled back at home. Then of course, it’s back to work for me!
