How I Got This Shot: Raven’s Roost is one of the most amazing overlooks on the parkway. I knew in advance I wanted the tree as a silhouette in my capture. I positioned the tree to the right of my image so it wouldn’t take away from the amazing clouds. I used a 30″ exposure to bring the rocks to life and a graduated nd filter to keep the colors in the sky. I positioned the camera, filters, and let God’s handy work speak for itself.
