How I Got This Shot: The scene was constantly changing with the storm clouds moving through. I waited for an opening view to the trees below and the right balance of cloud cover to emphasize the storm. As I do with most images I used a tripod to compose this scene and to avoid camera shake with the slow shutter speed.

How I Got This Shot: On our way to Blowing Rock from taking sunrise photos of Grandfather Mountain on an extremely cold morning. Stopped in to check on Price Lake and found the water to be glass still with a mist rising. I had to climb down to the waters edge in the rock and mud and kneel down in the freezing cold mud with my tripod on a few rocks to get this shot.

A foggy afternoon shot: Holloway Mountain Road passes beneath one of the stately bridges of the Blue Ridge Parkway near Blowing Rock, NC.

Shutter: 1/200

How I Got This Shot: On this overcast afternoon I went to a few overlooks hoping the clouds would part and provide a rainbow capture. No such luck. As I was leaving the parkway, the clouds parted just enough for this haunting image of the parkway bridge. I grabbed my camera and knelt in the road. The scene seemed to beg for the classic “rule of thirds” composition.
