A weekly photo is a nice suggestion.

I'm working hard on editing the photos I took in the Smoky Mountains this mid-April.

Here's a pano of Middle-Prong of Little River I took one early evening. A cropped crop, the original is almost twice this wide...to wide for a post. Not so much as 75% happy with it, so it won't be put in ES&S...but here it is:

Gorgeous Jon! Invites one to wade or sit and dangle your feet in the water.

Looks like a great place to just sit, listen to the water and relax.

Oh yes, :cool: I could sit at this spot for hours!

Jon,

I really like this--the leading line , using the water is great. What kind of equipment are you using/?

Very nice!

On this I used a 5D with a 100-400L at 300mm. LB warming polarizer from Singh-Ray. A RRS BH-55 ballhead w/ PCL...though I rarely use it anymore...preferring to level the tripod then pan off the base since I rarely find a level panorama to begin with.

I think this one was f/10 at ISO250 with a shutter of 1/2 second. I would liked to have had better depth-of-field, but it was a little bright to drop the shutter any lower and I wasn't comfortable with noise of anything above ISO250. So, it's no "keeper" to print and sell, but I really like it nonetheless. Definitely off to the stock agency.
