Springtime in the Smokies

by Ed Heaton

Greetings,

Well, I had a great time teaching my Photo Tour in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park (GSMNP) this year. I had a great group of people to work with and the venue, well to say the least, was Amazing! We scampered all around the park hitting the majority of the highlights and like most workshops & tours we ran out of time.

I thought I would share this year's project, "Panoramas" and what a great location to shoot panoramic images. The GSMNP has it all, "peaceful water scenes", "majestic mountain views" and "amazing meadows".

As with all of my imagery I use only Tamron lenses to capture the natural beauty I'm blessed to photograph. In this series I used several Tamron lenses which include the 28-75mm f/2.8 and the 70-200mm f/2.8 and the 17-35mm f/2.8-f4.0. I'm extremely pleased with the performance of these lenses and tend to use them as my go to lens. Now don’t get me wrong I have many other Tamron lenses that I use on a daily basis and would be lost without them!

P.S. I also shared a few images that weren't panoramics...I hope you don't mind :~)

Best of Light,

Ed

One word ~ Phenomenal. If you don't mind me asking, are many of your photos HDR? I figured with your computer and software background, HDR would be enticing and unintimidating!

Thanks Jeff,
I do shoot HDR's often (when the dynamic range is out of what the camera can capture) but out of this set only the sunrise image with the sun in the frame is an HDR.

Best of Light,
