Scenic View
Larger Photograph & Prints

Taken at a Scenic View Stop in Tennessee along highway 75 southbound. My wife and I were on our way down to Atlanta to visit our new nephew - I saw the "view" sign and the sky & figured I should stop!

The photograph is an HDR using tone compression to bring the highlights and shadows a bit closer together & have it all work in a single image. Shot with a 200mm tele in order to compress the foreground & background elements of the scene. Whole lot of compression going on all over the place...

While there, I met Martin B. Cherry; another photographer who had a similar idea. He was taking a different approach to the scene - shooting it a bit wider and from a slightly different vantage point. It'll be interesting to see how his turn out.

Yep, it's been a while since I've posted due to some other projects I've been working on. I won't be back up to my previous frequency for a while. :)
