Blue


I've stated it many times, The Great Smoky Mountains is our favorite U.S. National Park. This image is an example of why. If you wake up really, really early in the morning and head up Newfoundland Gap Road you can capture the blanketing fog. You should try underexposing up to 2 F-stops because your meter is trying to set your image at middle gray. This causes your images to be to light and you are left with something that doesn't quite pop.
As a side note, both Barry and I have tattoo's that were derived from this image.

Oconaluftee


Shot at Oconaluftee Overlook in the Great Smoky Mountains, Tennessee USA. The park and surrounding area's have an interesting and disturbing history, including the indian removal act, logging, coal extraction, etc. It is a history worth reading about and in turn learning from.

Cabin Fever




This is the Baxter cabin in Smoky Mountain National Park. Built in the late 1870's. It is still standing strong just needs a little mud for mortar. This is one of my favorite images and one of our best sellers.

The beautiful Smoky Mountains in the winter. The Great Smoky Mountains National Park has no entry fee. The donator of the land requested this when the land was handed over to the National Park system. It is the most visited park in the U.S.

Hen Wallow Falls in the Smokies


Hemlock and rhododendron border your walk to Hen Wallow Falls, which is a mere 2.1 mile hike from Cosby campground in the Great Smoky Mountains. This waterfall is 90 feet high. It is a beautiful place.
