Location: Price Park – Blue Ridge Parkway, Milepost 297
Just got back from a trip to Blowing Rock, NC and the Blue Ridge Parkway! I was struggling throughout the day because many places I wanted to shoot at were closed due to the government shut down. It was almost time to drive back home, but I decided to stop at Price Lake to watch the sunset. I must say, God provided an AWESOME show!!! It shows me that I need to learn patients!

How I Got This Shot: I arrived at Price Lake and started scouting for an area to setup. I found that the best place was just past the bridge, heading away from the parking lot, and shooting over the railing. I used a Manfrotto tripod and shutter release to ensure no camera movement. Then I took bracketed shots constantly until I lost all light. 🙂 In the end I used 5 exposures and merged to an HDR.
