The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is always on my list for fall photography. This year the colors were pretty good, maybe not as good as two years ago when I went but it’s always beautiful. This shot was taken near Townsend while wading the creeks with my Canon 6D. I just loved the reflection of the colors that created this tunnel of color.
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.
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.
I was contacted earlier this week to try out Topaz Labs Simplify, at first I wasn’t so sure about this one. The first few images I saw created with this plugin just didn’t appeal to me. But after thinking about it I decided what the heck and downloaded it to give it a go… I’ve been very pleased with all the products from Topaz Labs they help me create my art work time and time again. Like this one below a photograph I took over the fall in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Simplify turned an ordinary photograph into something totally different and I’m no painter that’s for sure… It would take me a year to paint that lol.
If you’re looking to create something different and turn some of your photo’s into works of art you should really check this plugin out.

This year my fall trip to The Great Smoky Mountains National Park was a mixture of fun and photography! The weather was excellent unlike last year when fog took over for just about the whole trip and made for some blah colors. This year with the help of mother nature the colors were top notch and the air was clear for me to capture them. There are so many beautiful spots in the park that I have a hard time picking spots to photograph. I took this one on the Roaring Fork Motor Trail which I found to be full of spots including waterfalls, old structures and houses and of course the beautiful water. My personal favorite spot to stay during my journey is Wilderness at the Smokies, which combines a water park, golf courses and indoor fun center.
