Giant Forest, Sequoia National Park
Jonathan Jackson2020-01-02T15:19:09+00:00Infrared black and white from the Giant Forest. One of my favorite images of the day, difficult to capture the size of the trees so I focused on the detail.
Crescent Meadow, Sequoia National Park
Jonathan Jackson2020-01-02T15:19:33+00:00Crescent Meadow Trail in Sequoia National Park. Like most of the meadows this time of year, it was a wetland. Easy, level path to follow, looked like a great place for wildlife.
Wash Creek Valley Overlook-Milepost 401.1
Jonathan Jackson2020-01-02T15:19:42+00:00Blue Ridge Parkway milepost 401.1. Wash Creek Valley Overlook is a simple turnout along the road. The tree stand above the sign provided the framing for the composition.
Cowee Mountain Overlook-Milepost 430.7
Jonathan Jackson2020-01-02T15:20:14+00:00The Cowee Mountain Overlook is known for great sunset opportunities on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Will definitely be back but I got a few decent images on the scouting trip. Afternoon infrared black and white from milepost 430.7.
View Herrin Knob Turnout-Milepost 424.4
Jonathan Jackson2020-01-02T15:20:39+00:00Most of the good shots of the Blue Ridge Parkway involve the mountain backdrop. But at the Herrin Knob turnout you're struck by the rock and the contours of the road around the landscape.
Devil’s Courthouse Summit-Milepost 422.4
Jonathan Jackson2020-01-02T15:20:51+00:00Final images from the Devil's Courthouse on the last trip. Wasn't exactly what I wanted but with the crowd size it will have to do. If the composition was available the clouds weren't cooperating. And visa versa. But, I'll have fond memories associated with this infrared image because it was a great day on the Blue Ridge Parkway.
Sam Knob from the Devil’s Courthouse
Jonathan Jackson2020-01-02T15:21:03+00:00Sam Knob from the top of the Devil's Courthouse. The outlook from milepost 422.4 is worth the stop. A quick hike, less than a mile round-trip takes you to a vista to enjoy mountains views on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Sam Knob is also a hike I'm planning on in the future as I'm really enjoying the Black Balsam/Graveyard Fields area. [...]
View Devil’s Courthouse-Milepost 422.4
Jonathan Jackson2020-01-03T02:31:40+00:00The Devil's Courthouse on the Blue Ridge Parkway at Milepost 422.4. A quick hike leads to the top where you can view mountains in Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee & obviously, North Carolina. From Cherokee lore, Judaculla, a slant eyed giant lives in the cave of the mountain and holds court. It was a nice day so I decided to risk it. [...]
Little Pisgah Road, Fairview, NC
Jonathan Jackson2020-08-03T20:53:18+00:00I've photographed this composition several times but like the infrared B&W image from this opportunity. The Hickory Nut Gorge is visible within with the southern escarpment in the background. Categorized as both Hendersonville & Asheville because the County Lines and Eastern Continental Divide run along Little Pisgah Mountain.
Biltmore Estate from the Lagoon Trail
Jonathan Jackson2020-01-03T02:31:53+00:00Walking the lagoon trail, the wooden boat went out for a fly fishing lesson and provided a couple photo opportunities. Looking forward to going back as the leaves fill out on the trees to see how it changes the composition.
