How I Got This Shot: Went to see the rhododendron, but they were mostly gone. The consolation was the “lower” trail that had lots of Fire Azalea in bloom. Hike from Carver’s Gap.

How I Got This Shot: This was captured late Friday; a significant rain was blowing in and the light was fading. While my new 1dx can handle high ISO’s I really did not want to go above 1250, but wanted some depth of field to lend a foggy, mood feel to the scene. The challenge was the blowing wind. A brief lull allowed me to get this shot.
