02/01/14 Featured Arkansas Photography–Sunset from Flatside Pinnacle

Wintertime sunset from Flatside Pinnacle the beginning of the Ouachita mountains.

Taken with a Phase One IQ160 Digital Back and Rodenstock 28mm lens @ F11 iso 50 for approximately 1/30 of a second.  If you have a few hours one winter afternoon, take a drive out to Flatside Pinnacle and work up a sunset.  This area is not too far from the city, and takes about 40 minutes to get there.  From Flatside you have a view to the west that is one of the best in Arkansas.  Here you can see the beginning of the rolling Ouachita mountains and in the distance Forked Mountain.  Flatside is not a hard hike so you can bring some extra equipment if you like.  It’s also a great place to position yourself to watch a storm roll in from the west in the summertime.  Looking to the right just outside the scope of this photograph, you can see the other tallest peaks in Arkansas all lined up, Mt Nebo, Spring Mountain, and of course the tallest Mt. Magazine.  Great place to spend to off time.
