Mustachio Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 I went down to Tennessee for a weekend getaway to the Great Smoky Mountains and wanted to share my photos with you. Also, sorry if these are a little too large for the forums, but I didnt want to reduce the size that much. This first one is actually better larger. The photo came out blurry which actually led to it looking like a painting. image removed image removed image removed And last, but certainly not least... in what is my favorite photo from the trip, and one of my all time favorites that I have taken image removed And of course, any and all technical details can be shared if anyone is interested.

catcountry Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 That is just......beautiful! I was surprised by all the color in the first pic. I'm in New England and we don't have color like that yet...it must be the elevation. Anyway....just beautiful! Link to comment
Crazyaboutdogs Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Looks very lovely. Our autumn colours are not yet in full bloom like that. Link to comment
MissIndigo Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Oh gosh you are making me homesick. I loved nothing more than riding around the Smokies on a warm fall day with my sunroof open a number of years ago. I can't wait to go back!! Link to comment
athena3 Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 these are fantastic! With the last two photos, what filter were you using? grad ND? or did you do any HDR post-processing? I ask because usually the foreground in a sunset is underexposed, but it's just the right exposure here! Link to comment
Mustachio Posted November 28, 2011 Author Share Posted November 28, 2011 athena, thanks! and in response to your question, I was using grad ND filters for both of them, no HDR processing for these. More specifically, a Lee 0.9 Hard Edge Grad ND. Link to comment
athena3 Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 awesome...thanks for the info! I've been researching which grad ND filter to purchase...so I appreciate your quick response! and keep up the great work! I love looking at nature photography! Link to comment
Mustachio Posted November 29, 2011 Author Share Posted November 29, 2011 athena, so far I am loving the Lee filters. They are a bit expensive overall, as for the 4 that I now own and the filter holder I spent easily over 500 dollars. What I have are the 0.6 Soft Edge Grad, the 0.9 Hard Edge Grad, the 0.6 ND, and the Big Stopper. I have yet to use the Big Stopper, but I was on the waiting list for 6 months on that one and I am quite excited to try it out. I also have a large set of new pictures that I have taken since I posted these... just havent gotten them posted up. Link to comment
