One of the things I consider before shooting sunrise is the weather. Took an opportunity on March 18th to go up to Little Pisgah as the rain was finishing up. The light broke through about 20 minutes after sunrise on the rock in the Hickory Nut Gorge. The clouds began clearing quickly leading to nice directional light.
Taken Friday (3-20-20) as it was getting dark, used a lantern to focus on the rocks in the foreground. Long exposure helped the glow from the houses in the valley. Took off as the rain set in a few minutes later.
A little later in the afternoon, watching the showers from the top of Little Pisgah. 3/20/20.
Image taken Friday, March 20th, 2020 on Little Pisgah. Went up hopeful for a dramatic, colorful sunset but watched the rain roll through instead. Great experience and peaceful just being there and enjoying nature. Being at the top of the mountain I'm not sure if its technically Henderson or Buncombe County. View in the photo is towards the Hickory Nut Gorge, Rutherford County and South [...]
Beautiful view from the South Terrace at the Biltmore Estate. Even lighting as a cloud went past the sun, removed the harsh shadows. Bear Creek Road around the Farmers Market is at the base of the mountains in the distance.
The boat house on the bass pond at the Biltmore Estate. Finally captured a couple images along the walk here that I like in black and white.
Laughter Mountain Road on Little Pisgah. There are very few traffic jams on this private drive. The image caught my attention with the contrast between the foreground and sky.
This image is new in 2020 but it reminds me how often I reshoot the same subjects. As I catalogue more images of Little Pisgah there will be several variations but this is my favorite road.
Chicken ramen at Gan Shan West. Enjoyed that and split a Pork & Chive Dumpling appetizer with the wife on a previous visit.
Looking towards the Black Mountain range from the pasture on Little Pisgah. Got a lot of good shots in late January, was nice to spend a few hours outside with warmer weather.
