Coneflowers at Mt. Pisgah Parking Area

by Jeff Burcher Photography

"Coneflowers at Mt. Pisgah Parking Area" by Jeff Burcher Photography

Location: Mt. Pisgah Parking Area.
I set up at the Mt. Pisgah parking lot in hopes of getting a sunset behind Cold Mt. Unfortunately I didn’t see the sun this evening or for basically the whole weekend. But there were numerous yellow cone flowers in the foreground, which did add some interest to the shot.

Camera: Nikon D-90
Lens: NIKKOR 10–24mm f/3.5-4.5G ED
Focal Length: 20 mm
ISO: 400
Shutter: 1/15
Aperture: f/11
Filters: circular polarizer
Exposure: Manual
How I Got This Shot: I set the camera up on a tripod,set exposure to manual,set aperture at F/11, and bumped the ISO to 400 so I could shoot at a somewhat faster shutter speed so I could compensate for the foliage blowing in the foreground. I liked the cone flowers in the foreground as well as the low hanging clouds sitting just above Cold Mountain.
