How I Got This Shot: The light was very tricky that morning. I spent lots of time traveling and waiting for the right light. Upon driving up Black Balsam road some sun was starting to break through. I quickly got set up and took several shots but this was the most dramatic with the lit up fog in the center and enough light for the foreground color. I also had a polarizer on. Shortly after heavy fog rolled in.
