The Ridge - North Carolina Blue Ridge Parkway Spring Scenic Landscape
Warm light mixing into some passing thunderstorms during the spring bloom, taken along the Blue Ridge Parkway south of Asheville NC near the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It's always great to be outdoors enjoying the sights and sounds of it all as the Southern Appalachian Mountains spring to life in early May with passing storms and fresh buds on the trees and foliage. What an awesome time to be in the mountains, hope you enjoy the view!
I shot this one a few years ago and have always wanted to go back and develop it again to correct some white balance issues, finally got around to having a go at it :)
Single exposure, Nikon D800 and 24-70mm f/2.8

The Roaring Fork outside of Gatlinburg TN in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park is an amazing place to visit. The Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail follows this wonderful mountain river that is rich with natural beauty including waterfalls, historic homesteads, moss covered riverbed rocks, black bears and wildlife and more. This is a pretty basic shot that doesn't really have any "epic" features to it, but I kind of liked the simplicity of it. Hope you enjoy it, faves and comments are appreciated! ;-)

Shot with a Nikon D700 and the 17-35mm f2.8 lens

Sunset over the spring bloom in the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Great Smoky Mountains from the Blue Ridge Parkway in western North Carolina. Got out to do some scouting along the Blue Ridge Parkway last week and saw some good rhododendron blooms at lower elevations as well as some sweet light at the end of the day. Hope you enjoy the view!

Spring in the Valley - Great Smoky Mountains North Carolina Scenic Landscape Cherokee NC
Went out on the Blue Ridge Parkway last week for a couple workshops, got the chance to shoot a few images and put my eyes on things in the mountains. We saw some really nice light on the southern parkway under some passing thunderstorms, and I was drawn by the way the bright spring green colors in the valley were lighting up under the sun rays. Hope you enjoy the view! :)
