Date Taken: 02/17/2016
Location: Blue Ridge Parkway, Linn Cove Viaduct Milepost 304

Camera: Nikon D810
Lens: Nikor 17-35mm
Focal Length: 17mm
ISO: 250
Shutter: 1/10 second
Aperture: f20
Filters: None
Exposure: Manual
How I Got This Shot: Standing at the best position to even out the bridge curve from both angles. I shot this 5 shot, sweeping panorama from the left curve(heading north) to the right curve(heading south). I used an f stop at f20 to ensure I picked up a little sun star from the breaking sunrise. The images were then exposure and color corrected in Lightroom CC and then blending together using Photoshop CC.
