Nashville Sunset
I visited Nashville for a couple of days earlier this week, so of course I headed downtown for a photo 🙂

Sunset on Mt LeConte
I thought I’d share another photo from the sunset I watched from Cliff Top, near the LeConte Lodge in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. This was taken a little before the last one I posted. The clouds and fog constantly moved in and out of the scene, it really was beautiful.
Foggy Sunset from Cliff Top
Last week was my first time hiking to the LeConte Lodge in the Smoky Mountains. We hiked the Trillium Gap Trail up, 6.5 miles +- to the lodge. After arriving around 5 pm, we ate dinner at the lodges dining hall and then headed up a little further to Cliff Top for a great view of the sunset. The clouds were constantly rolling through the scene, with some moments having near zero visibility and when those clouds rolled out you had this amazing view.
Raleigh, NC
So today I thought I’d share a photo from my new “home town”. This is Raleigh, NC at sunset during their recent Brewgaloo Beer Festival
Hope you enjoy!

Sunset over Nashville
I was passing through Nashville this past Saturday evening so I decided to stop for a photo from the traditional location on the Shelby Street Pedestrian Bridge. While I think this location is a bit “overdone” for Nashville skyline photos, it works well in a pinch. It’s actually the first time I’ve shot from the bridge in quite a while. So here it is, the Nashville Skyline as the sun sets behind it and the lights reflecting in the Cumberland River.

Flat Rock Sunset
This is a sunset from Flat Rock on the Blue Ridge Parkway. The trail head is located on the parkway, just south of Linville, North Carolina. A brief hike to this view (probably not even a mile) was rewarded with amazing views to the west.
Sunset from Humpback Rock
If you look closely at nearly the center of the photo, there is an opening in the trees. That’s the Blue Ridge Parkway and the entrance to the parking area for the hike up to Humpback Rock. It’s quite a hike, 2 miles uphill the entire way. But they view at the top is worth every step. Both sunset and sunrise can be seen from the rocks.
Nature’s Fireworks
So much is happening in this sky – amazing clouds, fog, color, even a rainbow. Just an awesome evening on Round Bald in the Roan Highlands
Last Light in the Roan Highlands
This is the last bit of light from the sun before it set behind heavy clouds and mountains. I loved the light shining across the grassy balds of the Roan Highlands. This was taken from on top of Round Bald, the first bald you get to after starting north on the Appalachian Trail from Carvers Gap.
Half Dome at Sunset – Yosemite National Park
This is looking across Yosemite Valley from Glacier Point. Half Dome is the large dome shaped rock to the right.
When we decided to visit California with no plans what so ever, I knew that I would have to be lucky more than anything else. I had never researched Yosemite park for best shooting locations (I actually never even thought I was going to visit Yosemite on the trip). While driving around throughout the park earlier in the day, we were lucky enough to find a hotel in the park boundaries that had rooms available. So at the last minute (a couple hours before sunset) we decided to head up to Glacier Point. It turned out to be an extraordinary sunset, mixed with what was already and incredible view. Standing there in awe of the scene before me was probably one of my favorite moments of the trip.
This is actually facing more towards the east but the clear skies to the west allowed the sun to cast beautiful colors onto the storm clouds in the east that began building in the sky just before sunset.
Details: This is a 7 exposure HDR, although it has very light processing. The scene was 100% as amazing as you see here. The only adjustments were some slight curves adjustments for contrast. The basic techniques I used to edited this photo can be found at www.sohdr.com
