Definitely go, it’s usually free on weekdays, easily accessible views and very camera (and tripod) friendly. The Great Falls NP on the Virginia side is equally excellent.
Interesting, when was this shot? I thought your canopy would have already closed by now at mid-elevations (or else you've got some interesting topography up high.) At any rate, I'd be very interested if you've found a film/(post)processing workflow that handles psychotic greenery we're going to deal with for the next few months.
BTW, how did you find Cornbread Fest? I'm thinking you might have had to find a way to strap your prints on a Goldwing or two.
Oh I've been working on this roll (220) for a little while. This was early March. I overdeveloped this a little bit - the sun was illuminating the trees and I liked the feeling of light it imparted, which got a little blown out due to that. The light meter readings can be deceptive too when it's variable light coming between branches. It was about a week or two ago when all the leaves suddenly were back here.
Festival was a bust sales-wise but I did win "Best in Show" so that was nice (cash prize! ).
I try to embrace the green. But we haven't had enough "good light days" lately to shoot much E6. I have a large stash of Velvia 220 I bought last year I need to use but have only been shooting maybe a roll or two a year (and I have like 50). I can't print it myself so it's mostly just for fun.
Thanks! Speaking of "seasons," starting tomorrow it's "graduation season" and I'll be all over GA and some in TN working over 15 events - so not much film shooting going on anyway...
