How I Got This Shot: I stood right near the edge of the parking lot and framed the lake in landscape orientation as well as portrait orientation. I decided on a landscape because it captured the autumn colors on the left and right of the image. It also did a great job of showing the fog rolling over the lake in contrast to the beautiful blue reflection. No tripod was necessary for this job.

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.

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.
