Wintertime sunset over Cameron Bluff on Mt. Magazine–Click on image for a larger view

Taken with a Nikon D800e, Nikkor 14-24 lens at 14mm F11, iso 100, for approximately 1/250th of a second.  Mt. Magazine at 2,700 feet is the tallest spot in Arkansas, and what is so interesting is that it’s south of the Arkansas River, and much closer to the Ouachita Mountains than the rest of the Ozarks.  I like to work around on Magazine as there are several great spots to get sunsets and sunrises.  I am hoping to get back to this spot soon with the fall colors soon approaching, and since the Buffalo National River is still closed due to the ignorance in Washington, Magazine may be a haven since it’s a state park not Federal.  I still find it sad that the ignorance of a few hundred congressmen and senators has closed all the National Parks and similar areas down.  Back to the photo, it was a single shot from a Nikon D800e and I exposed for highlights, then pulled up the shadows later on in post.  The Nikon D800 family of cameras have an amazing range of dynamic range in the iso 100 to 400 settings.
