For a couple of months now I’ve been talking about going to Cades Cove at night to take pictures, and for the next couple of weeks I’m going to be sharing what I’ve been working on. Towards the beginning of the year I saw some night pictures that just really inspired me and so I decided to try my hand at it. There was a bit of a learning curve to the whole thing, but I’ve gotten a few pictures that I’ve been really happy with.
This week’s picture of the week is of the Methodist Church in Cades Cove (part of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park for those unfamiliar). The picture itself represents about an hour long exposure which causes the star trails in the sky.

Great picture, Dan. Nice work.
Wonderful, wonderful shot, Dan.
This particular spot holds special significance for me as my grandfather’s ashes are (legally — with National Park permission) scattered in the field behind this church. I needed a little touch of Grandpa and loveliness today. Thanks for that.
My fiancee proposed to me in this little church on a rainy Geb. Sunday in 3013. It is special to the two of us.
Sorry…I meant Feb. Of 2013
LOL I knew what you meant… that, or you were from the future and I was about to get rich! 🙂
