Love this, I'll be on the Tennessee portion in a couple days.

Thank you! It was our first time in Tennessee, This was shot at Clingman's Dome.

lovely image, HDR?

Beautiful photo....really draws you into the scene!

Yes Vibeke, this is HDR..

Very lovely! Seems peaceful and serene.

Man, this is awesome, beautiful composition, and contrast, everything!

super stunning!

well done

this is very nice but you can tell it has been post processed in a digital program, which is not what Ansel Adams is really known for. IMO!

Ansels Zone System can be used in digital photography just as in film photography; Adams himself anticipated the digital image. As with color reversal film, the normal procedure is to expose for the highlights and process for the shadows. He also touched on dodge and burn. He did use multiple exposures.

true, but in digital, the results are so different. Seems everything I've looked at of Ansel Adams, there isn't that soft glow/blur and not the major ghosting like we have in digital HDR. Just like developing film is much different than printing a digital photo, different results.

By the way, I just want you, author, to know that this is a wonderful B&W and is VERY pretty even though I have gave my opinion on the HDR etc.

awesome photo

Thanks guys for all the votes & great comments!

Congrats on 1st......Well deserved.

It'd be quicker if he just started rolling
