The rare, and much sought after, Stinking Benjamin! A red variety of trillium that we were keeping an eye out for the entire trip. From Wikipedia: “The flowers have the smell of rotting meat, as they are pollinated by flies.” Picture taken with Sony a6000, SEL 18-200mm lens @ 39mm,… Continue reading
Followed this gray heron for a while – I’m not sure if I was bothering it, it was on the other side of a river and I was shooting with a 420mm lens, but I’m not familiar with herons roosting in trees either. Picture taken with Canon 60D, EF 70-300mm… Continue reading
Here’s a creepy crawly (millipede) that we came across because, when you’re in the woods and you see a bug, you aught photograph that bug. Found on the trail to Rainbow Falls. Picture taken with Sony a6000, SEL 18-200mm lens @165mm, 1/60 sec, f/6.3, ISO 1600
The last of the Cades Cove Fog burning off as we made our second loop around the area. I should have backed off a bit more to get some additional fence in the shot, I think. Picture taken with Sony a6000, SEL 18-200mm lens @ 33mm, 1/10 sec, f/16, ISO… Continue reading
A spider web, on a fence, by a restroom, that was open at 7AM… I was trying to keep the background in focus, thus the f/18, but apparently that wasn’t going to get quite enough DOF. Calculator says I only had about 3″ of depth behind the web, so any… Continue reading
The historic Cable Grist Mill in Cades Cove. Took many, many pictures trying to decide just how I wanted the wheel to look. It wasn’t spinning when we first arrived, but an attendant came and enabled it. Pictures taken with Canon 60D, EF-S 10-22mm lens @ 11mm, 15 sec, f/16,… Continue reading
A second picture of Ramsey Falls – this one maybe more ‘interesting’ than particularly good. I had read about a technique of compiling multiple pictures to gain the effect of using a ND filter and slow shutter. This was the outcome of 21 pictures, all taken at 1/250 shutter and… Continue reading
My meta picture of a picture of a sunset. Picture taken with Sony a6000, SEL 18-200mm lens @ 30mm, 1/100 sec, f/8, ISO 100
These cantilevered barns are an interesting concept to me – apparently allowed storage of hay and such on the second level while allowing a wagon to sit directly underneath. Maybe it makes sense if you want to keep a wagon load of stuff dry or want to be able to… Continue reading
One more of the Cades Cove Fog, because I already had it queued up. On to something new tomorrow as this is the last moderately unique one of foggy trees. Picture taken with Sony a6000, SEL 18-200mm lens @ 42mm, 1/100 sec, f/8, ISO 100
