Chasing Waterfalls

 

I went out with a few photography friends yesterday to spend the day photographing a few waterfalls here in Virginia. Our first stop was at Crabtree Falls located in Nelson County, this set of falls is one to the tallest sets of waterfalls east of the Mississippi River. The climb isn’t too bad even though the light we were working with didn’t allow us to hike to the very top. The trail is a pretty clean path and has railings to keep people off the dangerously slick rocks around the falls. I made my way out to a semi safe spot and took this shot looking away from the falls.

Spring Macro Photography

Spring Macro Photography

In the spring I tend to use my Canon 100mm macro lens to death trying to capture every little bloom and bud in sight.  Spring macro photography has to be one of my favorite things about photography! Every year the same plants come and go but the photographs you take each year are always unique. This could be because of the subjects color or size difference each year or maybe you catch one of your subjects in the best light possible. That’s why I like shooting the same flowers and trees year after year.

This is one of my latest edits that I processed using a plugin called Topaz Restyle you can find my review of it here.  I took this shot using a Canon 60D and the Canon 100mm F2.8 Macro Lens handheld in aperture priority mode set at f2.8 and an ISO of 200. This combination of body and lens is an excellent setup for anyone looking to get into macro photography!

Photo Share – Signs Of Spring

 

Sometimes the simple things are often overlooked when out taking photographs. Often there are amazing photographs waiting to be taken right under your nose. Like this simple bloom I found on a tree today it could have been easily missed. I used a Canon 60D with a 100mm f2.8 macro lens to capture this image during the early morning light.

Photographing Waterfalls

Yesterday I had the chance to get out and photograph this beautiful 200′ waterfall. Photographing waterfalls usually combines a few things I love hiking (usually to get to the waterfall) and water (I’ve loved fishing since I was a kid).  A few new pieces of gear I tried out during this excursion included the new Mind Shift Panorama 180. I will be writing a full review on this bag once I get to test it out extensively, but so far I love it!.  The second piece of gear was a new tripod setup, which included the Induro AT 214 legs. The tripod legs worked flawless!  Work continues on my Ebook where I will help you take photographs like this of waterfalls stay tuned….

 

 

Photo Share – Falling Spring Falls

You can find this waterfall near Covington, VA and it’s easily viewable from the overlook. Spring is on it’s way and you will be seeing more photographs like this once warm weather is here to stay.
