Splashes of Color from the Chimney


Splashes of Color from the Chimney
GRSM11D-34
October 8, 2011

Wrapping up this week of shots from the mountains, this last photo explodes with color.  Taken from the top of Chimney Tops trail in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, you can see the various shades as autumn sets in.  Reds, golden, with the evergreens still holding their own, it has a nice rugged feeling about it, though it is separated from much perspective due to the longer focal length.  (and it seems, in retrospect, that the uploader somehow crunched the photo more than I had anticipated, it seems blurrier than it did in LR).  Enjoy.

Lens: Nikon 50 f/1.4
Focal length:  50 mm
