Morning light over the Blueridge Mtns

[nextelbuddy]

I dont really get to travel much and i would love to get out to the midwest but for now I will keep practicing my landscape shots on the Blueridge Mtns lol

Went to the mountains again this past weekend. Woke up at 5am (should have woke up at 3 since i needed to find a spot). I am driving on the blue ridge parkway peeking at every spot looking for where the light is and sunrise is at 6:15am and when I finally get to this spot its 6:10. It wasn't even a real spot, it was a break in the trees and i had to pull off to the side and squeeze in.

still mad about the 2 trees in the middle blocking part of the view but still loved the image and the light.

Very nice.
I really love the second picture! If I would live near those mountains, I would get up each saturday at 5am!

To predict sun and moon events at a particular geographic spot, look into the "Photographers Ephemeris". It is just a few dollars to download to iPad or iPhone.

They are both stunning, but #2 really holds my attention. Nicely done.
