MemberFirst time to the smokies. Pretty much any photogs dream for fishing, landscapes, flowers, and wildlife! Stay clear of Gatlinburg whenever possible the array of airsoft gun stores displaying guns in large shop windows and walk in chapels with bridal superstores are enough to try and keep me out. But there can be some good food found in the area for sure! This was a family trip so I did not fish as much as i wanted to but there was a sweet little creek running through the cabins backyard with wild rainbows!

Very cool to see- never seen a mom with cubs, even from a vehicle.
Did you use grad filters on those mountain landscapes?
Jason
HA! i wish i could afford grad nd’s Most were just with a polarizer and a few had an ND8.
That was the 2nd time on that trip i saw a mom with cubs. The first time my ISO was not high enough 🙁

waterproof point and shoot set for a 10sec timer and situated it in my PFD. I think the guide would have gotten mad if i was shooting going through rapids instead of rowing! ;D
