Smoky Mountains

Smoky Mountains by asbalyan (can call me Ballu).
Captured at Smoky mountains national park.

We visited Smokies in first weekend of Sept '07, beautiful range...
But on that day, it had (atleast our drive) lot of fog/clouds/smoke, that was making all the captures with very low dynamic range... I focussed on capturing the layers in nature instead of details. (In camera, I found out.. the most of scenes had half of dynamic range of digital sensor).

Captured with Jupiter-9 85mm f2 @~f7 mounted on Canon 350D/Rebel XT.

Thanks Soumya... I rarely visit these places (after our son was born.. planning to start again visits to parks)... I tried to put the low contrast into painting concept, and capture with sensor.. felt lucky with captures...
And yes, not missing your shots to different parks.. superb.. sometimes feeling envy ;) (keep coming)
