Snowshoe Mountain
snowshoemtn.com
Snowshoe Mountain is a ski resort located in Snowshoe, West Virginia, in the Allegheny Mountains. The resort is located in the bowl shaped convergence of two mountains, Cheat and Back Allegheny, at the head of the Shavers Fork of the Cheat River. Snowshoe is home to the second highest point in the state and the peak elevation for Cheat Mountain, at Thorny Flat, which reaches 4,848 feet (1,478 m).
The Village at Snowshoe is located at the summit of the mountain, rather than at its base. While Snowshoe is still best known for its winter activities, today the resort has extensive mountain biking, trails, a popular golf course, wedding and convention areas, and a number of summer outdoor activities. The resort comprises the Snowshoe and Silver Creek ski areas. About 480,000 skiers visit the resort each year, primarily from West Virginia and the larger cities of the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast.

Silhouette Photography
I love silhouette photography.
I use this technique of photographing people, usually couple’s moment on the beach, objects or landscape elements against the light, to achieve an image in silhouette. The light might be natural, such as sunrise, sunset or an open doorway, or it might be contrived in a studio.
I choose to take my silhouette photos when the sun is right above the horizon, usually at sunset. I always use a narrow aperture (high f/stop) so the camera captures the whole scene in focus. It takes practice and experimentation, to capture a truly spectacular silhouette photo. Silhouette photographers must have great timing and perfect exposure settings.
Please take a look.
