Photographing Waterfalls

Photo Share – Laurel Falls

Waterfalls make excellent subjects to photograph. The one thing I love about them is most of them require a hike to get to the actual waterfall. It’s kind of like finding a prize at the end of a maze! Waterfalls are natural beauty and can create beautiful prints to hang in your home or office.

Tip: To create an image like this slow your shutter speed down to around .5 second or longer this can be achieved by the use of ND filters or by photographing them during overcast cloudy days.

I used a setting of F22 without an ND Filter for this shot of Laurel Falls.

Winter Photography

Photo Share – Winter Stream

The weather has been cold lately here in Virginia for a few weeks with warm days here and there. I took the opportunity the cold weather brings and hiked up to the Cascades in Pembroke, VA for some winter photography. This was one I took along the way up to the water fall. You should visit the Cascades at any time of the year for a beautiful dose of nature.

Late Spring At The Old Mill

The Old Mill – Pigeon Forge, TN

 

I had a quick visit to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park a few weeks back… more for relaxation than photography this time around. But I still had my gear with me and managed to shoot a few photographs during the trip. This is one of the Old Mill around sunset while a couple guys were fishing in the water below. The Old Mill is a really neat place to visit if you’re ever in Pigeon Forge Tennessee.

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.

Photo Share – “Burn Off”

This one was taken on the Blue Ridge Parkway here in Virginia a few weeks back on a cold and windy morning. I absolutely love landscape photography! There’s just something about getting to a spot, setting up your gear and waiting for the sun to pop up over the horizon that just never gets old!
