The other day I posted a image of the footbridge and spillway located on the Biltmore Mansion Estate property. This is a post of that stream a bit further down the road. I got wet feet taking this one and at least I didn't fall in.

Part of the trip was a visit to Gatlinburg which I'm sure many of those here have been to. There is a string of shops with something there for everyone. This quaint alleyway caught my eye so I could not resist seeing it through the lens of my camera to bring back as a memory of an enjoyable time.

Sippy - you make the big subjects look as good as your tiny ones!

(By the way, the new issue of NatGeo has a photo-theme featuring insects. They're good, so he must have learned his technique from you!)

Thanks for viewing and thanks for the heads-up on the NatGeo insect feature. I'm going to take a look at it for sure.

Thanks, UTMike. I've learned a few things over the countless number of shots that I have taken and instead of a Recycle Bin...I needed a Recycle Dumpster.

One is to shoot with the lowest ISO and to open the lens up to in the range of f/5.6 or f/8. Shutter speeds will vary however about 250 second feels about right most often and I shoot in RAW.

Yes...the images will look dark and that's what I'm looking for because it holds info in the shadows and does not lose info in the lights. Once it's gone there is no getting it back.

I post I move the exposure slider and the images start to pop. Push shadows open a bit and there's the detail I'm looking for. Set the black points and the white points to their low thresholds and that's about it.

Thanks, pretty soon they'll start selling coffee mugs and keychains with Gatlinburg on them to go along with those t-shirts. When they do...I want to be first in line!

Great job, sippy. They may not be stacks but they sure are good. It's fun to get out of our usual genres.

Thanks, it was the glaze of the red bricks that jumped out at me. Most often bricks are dull however these were glazed slick as snot and they provided a great play of light. The sky was overcast enough that the shop windows did not glare and I was able to see the artwork that they were selling. It took a bit for the visitors to clear so I would not get all of the people in the shot. There were a few down the alley however they did not interfere with what I wanted to see through the lens.
