You know, here in this area, it's gonna be good. I know this is your backyard, and I'm looking forward to you sharing all this with us this week. What do you have in mind for us? Well, Doug, I thought we'll do mostly landscape. Hopefully we'll catch some fall colors at the higher elevation. And we'll be photographing in Great Smoky Mountains National Park and the Blue Ridge Parkway. Yeah, over your right shoulder there, we're looking into Middle Prong Wilderness. Behind us is Shining Rock Wilderness. This is red spruce that was planted around 1943 after a big fire in the area. Now, we're what, about 15 miles just outside of Cherokee? That's correct. We've come up about 15 miles on Highway 441, the main road that goes through the Smokies. As a photographer in the Smokies, you also need to be a student of weather. And I'm always looking for those times when we have whole fronts coming through. If you catch 'em at the front end and at the tail end, you can get some of the most dramatic weather here in the Smokies. And sometimes you don't get any images. But when it happens, and you're there, it can be fantastic. When it's good, it's really good. It's really good.
nothing in trailer excited me to watch course. seems to be same problem with all your ads
proofing something you know ‘back to front’ should be edited as such – start at the last chapter and proof it backwards! I have found it helps with that problem of editing fatigue … i.e. the first few chapters get a ࡈgood․ proofing, leaving you weary and less detailed as you go through.
