Here's a few pics.

The ones with the deer & turkey were from Cades Cove, the creek pic was heading up the mountain above g'burg and the others are from the Ripley's Aquarium of the Smokies.

 

How was it? I am headed up there at Spring break- well more to Chattanooga...

Great pics!

 

We had a blast. We left g'burg this morning about 10am and by noon, Anj's grandmother said snow was already sticking to the ground [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/doh.gif[/img] We didnt get to see any.

 

I didn't know there was an aquarium up there. I was wondering if you went SCUBA diving with a camera.

haha nah but I wish. I acctually bought my new SLR camera on the way up there! We got a Nikon D50. I had a seperate flash from a 35mm setup taht would work and I got a UV Filter and a Circular Polarizer both while we were there so thats why the pics were good.

D50.... [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/drool.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/drool.gif[/img]

That is the very camera I want to get. I love my regular Nikon N65 and I will definitely get another Nikon. It is a bonus that the lenses will work on the digital version as well.

I hope you bring it to WoW so I can drool at it.

Cool pics Scott!

 

Nice Pix Scott.

 

thanks everyone

 

Gatlinburg is fun (and the Aquarium is really nice). Did you get into the Smokies much? That is where we had most of our fun.

 

Awesome pics Scott!!! I really like the jellyfish and the creek water rushing over the rocks.

 

Brad, make sure you have your tripod with you at WoW so I can get some good pics of PSH and the MCM display.

Jeffery, we went to the top of the mountain and there was barely any snow. I took a bunch of pics, just havent uploaded any. I really need a good zoom lens before I try much more outdoor stuff

 

We went to the top peak in the middle of July -- and it was FREEZING. yet it was 90 in Gatlinburg. I can only imagine what it'd be like in January.

Next time we go up, we're going spend mkost of our time in the park. We drove through the old town, but wish we had more time.

 

What?? No car pics?? [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrinjester.gif[/img]

 

It was acctually warm in g'burg and i had a thin jacket on up at the top of the mountain when we went up. Freakish weather lately in the entire southeast.

 

[img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rofl2.gif[/img] at the weather.


How far is Gatlinburg from Chattanooga?
I am going there at spring break for the saltwater aquarium and Rock City. (and some foreign mellow Mushroom)

 

It's a ways away. Couple of hours. Its far East Tennessee. Google Map it for the exact distance. In fact, I'm fairly sure in Chattanooga you'd be closer to Nashville by just a bit then you would be to Gatlinburg.

I'd imagine it's at least a 2.5 hour drive from Chattanooga to Gatlinburg.

 

its about 2 hours
