The Skyline Drive section contains images from almost every overlook in that section of Shenandoah National Park, sixty-seven overlooks in all -- excluding only Beahms Gap, which was overgrown at the time -- plus Big Meadows. The effort was a project of five+ years duration, with all images captured on afternoon-morning overnight visits, most photographed during fall leaf season in their respective years.  As a result of the limited duration of each stay, as well as the need to make lodging reservations months in advance, guessing at the likely best time for a visit, each trip was constrained by the conditions obtaining at the time.  Most images were captured as 5-exposure brackets and merged to HDR.  The panoramas were also produced as HDRs and then stitched in panorama software.  The two Smoky Mountain panoramas were captured during a single pass across the mountains.
