Very nice Mike..and you can see for miles! No fog or pollution on this day. It was hard to catch days like this in the Smoky Mtns; there was frequently haze that obscured your view. I like the sky! #516997Mike Rubin September 06, 2006
Thanks Carol, The sky really showed that I need to clean my sensor.ALLEN O. HOWARD September 09, 2006
I can also! You really stretched your aperture out! A grand vista, Mike! #3288083Mike Rubin September 09, 2006
Thanks Allen, This was shot with a "kit"lens. I used a GradND filter to comp for an overly bright sky. I think it saved the shot from a blown out sky. #3288196Bill Wyatt September 16, 2006
Gorgeous, love the lighting and colors. Wonderful composition, Mike! #3316573Mike Rubin September 16, 2006
Thank you Bill #3316879Melissa G. Meiselman September 17, 2006
Stunning scene...grand vista with wonderful colors and lighting, Mike!!! #3321658Mike Rubin September 17, 2006
Thanks Melissa. I think I should have placed my GND filter a bit lower, everytime I look at this I see a thin bright strip. Next time I need to be more careful. #3321878John V. Roscich October 11, 2006
VERY PRETTY IMAGE MIKEMike Rubin October 11, 2006
Thanks John, I just need to get out and practice more with the GND filter. Althoug it did save this mid-day shot. #3437273Bill Wyatt October 16, 2006
Beautiful work Mike, the cover was very thick while I was there a lot of heavy UV rays and then clouds. #3457698Amy JACKSON October 16, 2006
Very beautiful image, Mike!! #3457742Mike Rubin October 16, 2006
Thank you Bill and Amy, It is a beautiful area at any time of the day. Although I would love to get their at peak fall foliage. #3458943Mary C. Casey May 30, 2007
Beautiful capture of my backyard! I live not so far from this park. When you are feeling adventerous, take a hike on one of the many waterfall trails. #4346192Mike Rubin May 30, 2007
