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.
