On Location: Great Smoky Mountains

BLOG: Calm Before the Storm – Images by Art Wolfe
Last week I led a workshop in the Great Smoky Mountains. Fall color was spectacular as was the weather—and we all got out just in time before Hurricane Sandy hit the Eastern Seaboard.
I love autumn with all it’s vivid colors, and cool crisp air…you captured the essence, Art, of a beautiful and wild area. I’m also enamored with the layered effect of mist, mountains, and sunset. I see this everytime I come home to the Olympic peninsula…looks like the workshop was a great success. So glad the storm missed you all; my heart goes out to everyone affected by it.
Nothing more beautiful than the Great Smoky Mountains in the fall. Beautiful images as well.
Spectacular as always Art! As a former workshop teacher I can say that you have always set the bar high for the rest of us.
Lovely series of images… your photography inspires me in my own work! I’m thankful you were out of the area prior to Sandy, but am praying for and have made a donation to the Red Cross to help our fellow Americans suffering on the East coast…
Beautiful images as always. Loved to have been there. Just wondering if you used your new 1Dx for these or your 5D?
Ash Varma-
These images were taken with my 5D MK lll. I also brought the 1DX, but the 5D is lighter.
Any conditions are great for shooting. Art Wolfe always delivers.
I now live near the Smokies and forever see its beauty. My newly acquired 1Ds Mark ii , on your blog’s equip list , is giving great results! Can the Mark iii be that much better? The shutters on these 1D’s are amazing….wish I could have met you while in the Smokies. Keep up the fabulous work for all of us to aspire to…
