Great Smoky Mountain Overlook in Autumn_DSC9192 - H/O
While I was finding my composition to shoot the sunset in this location, the low angle of sunlight defined the ridge tops. The light was gone very soon after.
The take away from this is, once you see it, don't fiddle around too much. Take the shot! Take a couple shots! Set your camera to bracket exposure a couple stops if you're not sure about exposure.
I still had a circular polarizer on the lens from earlier that afternoon, which helped with the color saturation. I'm glad I got off a few shots when I first arrived in this location before starting to set up with split ND filters for sunset images.
