How I Got This Shot: As I drove past Graveyard Fields, I decided to drive up the road that leads to the Black Balsam area. As I rose in elevation and saw this site unfolding before my eyes, I knew I had to capture it. I shot this handheld because my other camera was mounted to my tripod. It was a very windy morning and I went up to capture the sunrise and remaining high elevation fall foliage – Funny that this ended up with a black and white treatment. Once I saw the image on my computer I knew it must be black and white!
